Hello Good Humans!
The Full Moon occurs at 13° Cancer on Saturday January 3, 2026 at 5:02am in New York. It is the Wolf Moon. The aspects are oppositions to both Venus and Mars highlighting relationships and truths about them. Venus will also be behind the Sun and not visible from Earth. This is called a “superior conjunction”. Venus will emerge again as the Morning Star. Mars is also behind the Sun, a “solar conjunction”, both of these will diminish the power or these planets, more so for Venus than Mars. This also brings more into question about the truths in relationships.
A Full Moon happens when the Moon is 180° away from the Sun, exactly opposite. It is the time to present completed projects to the public and receive feedback. During the full Moon cycle we have to balance home and family with career, what we want with what we have internally and externally. So, let’s use our intuitive instincts to inspire action in our projects, plans and dreams.
RELEASE for PEACE
Emotions emphasized by the Full Moon need validation and support. The Moon rules our need for nurturing and comfort. Both Venus and Mars conjunct the Sun can bring up conflicts and questions with insecurity and fragile and inflamed egos. Venus may bring up feelings of loneliness and what’s missing from a relationship. This will bring up the questions in how relationships and how people truly are. Old, early life emotional patterns may surface and require healthy release through the positive energies of Venus and Mars. There may be a temptation for indulgence in comfort food, familiarity, self-soothing habits and an attraction to physical beauty and the acquisition of expensive items in the hopes of them making you feel better. Mars may have us wanting to plow forward without considering our partners feelings. Coming at the beginning of the New Year, this can makes us aware of the old baggage we don’t want to bring into the New Year. Both will signal what needs to be released in order to find peace in ourselves and relationships of all kinds. People prone to selfishness and dominance may behave in infantile expressions of their emotions, showing the truths of who they really are. When red lights blink, stop and think. The key is to connect with the positive sides of all the heavenly bodies involved.
Venus: love, artistry, beauty and elegance.
Moon: nurturing, restorative time, emotional support.
Mars: confidence, activity and the pursuit of goals.
Sun: recognition, self-expression, positive self-esteem
Use your emotions to inspire artistry! Write that song, dance it out, sing it out, write it out and let your tears out while doing it. Tears of release and tears of joy will bring you not only peace but your authentic self. Actors will have a chance to express vulnerability and heart touching moments. Even if you are not so creative yourself, you will appreciate this in the talented expressions of others. Watch that movie that touched your heart or listen to that song. Commit to that project you feel close to. Buy yourself a gift that reminds you to be your genuine best. It should not be out of your budget. Honesty, simplicity and authenticity is the goal. Self-love leads to confidence which attracts true support, respect and admiration.
