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. The Moon/Jupiter opposition to the personal planets Venus and Mars under the rays of the Sun in Capricorn or as known as a Cazimi effect, motivates us to strive for LOVE.
Yes as we start this year of a cosmic reset - numerologically a ONE year with 2+0+26 = 10 = 1
Only Love can save us.
Chart below set for January 3, 2026 @ 2:03 AM Pacific Time with a massive 3rd house
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.
There is much to learn during this Full Moon where the Sun @ 13 Capricorn yields this Sabian Symbol reflecting not just the need to learn from the past but to embrace the beauty and meaning from ancient civilizations: "An ancient bas-relief carved in granite remains a witness to a long forgotten past. "
This symbol conjures images of ancient Lemuria and Atlantis In the chart below asteroid Atlantis is @ 21 degrees Capricorn preceding Vesta putting focus on that fated island.
Looking deeper into the vast depths of space we see the Sabian Symbol for the Moon at 13 Cancer near Sirius : " A very old person facing a vast dark space to the Northeast."
Here we see as we become more enlightened we have the ability to see spiritual truth in unexpected places. This symbolizes the need to attain future and overcome the feeling of being abandoned by institutions like our government .
The Full Moon chart below also has the Sun near fixed star Vega in the Lyra constellation opposing the star Sirius,the wisdom keeper cojoining the Cancer Moon which will continue to invite us to download ancient knowledge as we continue thru January.
Then on January 17 th with Venus entering Aquarius and right after the New Moon in Capricorn @ 29 degrees on January 17th @ 11:52 AM PST, a gateway to the Aquarian Age swings open as the Moon enters Aquarius to meet Venus.
If we add in the dwarf planets including Ixion @ 7 degrees (which is about following our bliss, defining our own rules while demonstrating resilence. Note that Ixion has an orbital period of 249.95 years. When discovered, it stood conjunct Pallas (wisdom) in Jupiter’s sign of Sagittarius (knowledge gained through friction-producing effort) with both directly in opposition to Medusa (fear of/fearful knowledge) in Gemini, sign of choice and discrimination. Near Ixion is Quaoar @ 11 degrees Capricorn and the first object in space to bear a Native American name (not counting Hopi and Navajo, whice 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 GabrieleƱo 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.
Salacia the higer frequency of Venus @ 11 Aries impacts and creates a Grand Cardinal Cross with a square to the Venus-Sun-Mars combination in Capricorn.
On the other side of the square is the Moon/Jupiter in emotionally charge Cancer exaggerating the power of the unconditional love vigrations. Salacia also opposes the fixed star Corvus with Algorab (relates to the courage to move forward at 13 degrees Libra) .Algorab at 13°27′ Libra has an orb of 1°50′
Salacia, a dwarf planet named after the Roman goddess of salt water and wife of Neptune and a mermaid—is primarily associated with "higher-love consciousness," psychic sensitivity, and the removal of barriers to happiness. Salacia can spend decades in a single sign with here extremely long orbital period of approximately 272 to 274 years.
Salacia is in Aries until 2041. Note that is placement in the sign of the Ram encourages bold spiritual new beginnings, trusting instincts, and pursuing personal passions with a sense of "inner warrior" energy.
It emphasizes integrating higher-love consciousness into the ego and taking "leaps of faith" in spiritual growth.
With the Capricorn conjunction of the Sun/Mars/Venus continuing into January 7th and opposing Jupiter in Cancer - our mother Gaia awakens. Fiery Cardinal Ceres in Aries creates a 90 degree angle and eruptions are inevitable on many levels.
