The full moon in Cancer is exact on January 3 at 5:03 a.m. eastern. The new year expression of “out with the old” resonates with the full moon energy, which is supportive of releasing what no longer serves your highest good. It’s a process that takes longer than a day or two. So it’s great that we have this two-week cycle to really pave the way for ringing in the new.
To work with the energies, tap into the traits of Cancer. Cancer is a cardinal sign, meaning that it initiates action. It is also a water sign, which is all about tapping into your emotions. Therefore, use this moon cycle wisely in your efforts to release old emotions. This is a crucial first step toward healing.
Keep in mind that Jupiter is currently retrograde in the sign of Cancer, which will help your efforts. It is a time to think about your emotional life, which probably has been wild and vivid considering the expansive nature of Jupiter. Jupiter has been retrograde since November 11, 2025, so you are likely already in touch with what you need to work on. The Universe is in alignment in that respect.
That doesn’t mean that this is a feel-good vibe. The energy is extremely intense, so expect to feel uncomfortable. Think of the Chariot card in tarot. The character in the image is steering their vehicle and will eventually get to their destination, even though the creatures seem to be pointing in different directions and have to be coaxed to move forward.
Similarly, despite the challenges and hard work it will take, know that with your determination and heart, you can leave the past behind as a stronger person and in a better place than you were before.
