Happy 2026 and Cancer Full Moon, light warriors, galactic messengers and beautiful souls.
This is one Full Moon that will change your life. Since I am writing this on this Moon/Jupiter Cancerian love fest for some of us, I will need to unpack this lunation in two parts. First this is a Super Moon appearing larger and brighter as it's near its closest point to Earth. Named for hungry wolves howling in winter, this first full moon of the year is visible from sunset on January 2nd, rising golden and dominating the sky all night. And at Sunset there is a conjunction of the luminous Moon and heart centered Jupiter in Cancer adding over-the-top emotions to this event.

amping up lighting fast communications, mentality and the desire for love with the Sun @ 13 Capricorn (identity and ego) in between Quaoar (a creation God known for singing and dancing the world into existence) pronounced kwah-o-wahr @ 11 degrees Venus @ 12 degrees and Mars @ 14 degrees in the ambitious, persevering and cardinal sign of the Seagoat. But that isn't all since chasing this Stellium is Mercury in perceptive and down to earth capricorn@ 2 degrees.
If we add in the dwarf planets of Ixion @ 7 degrees (which is about following our bliss, defining our own rules while demonstrating resilence and Quaoar there is a multi-layered perspective to this Wolf Moon. With Quaoar we have the first object in space to bear a Native American name (not counting Hopi and Navajo, which refer to tribes). Quaoar and its Moon Weywot were named after mythological figures from the Native American Tongva people in Southern California.Quaoar is known as genderless creation force of the universe per the Gabrieleño mythology, singing and dancing deities into existence. He first sings and dances to create Weywot (Sky Father). Weywot joins the singing and dancing to make the next deity, and so on. Eventually, after reducing chaos to order, they created the seven great giants that upheld the world, the animals and finally, the first man and woman.
