As we approach the first weekend of 2026, the cosmic energy shifts. The Cancerian Full Moon focuses our attention on our emotional connections and home life - it's a chance to appreciate aspects of our world that are easy to take for granted. With changemaker, Uranus, in the mix, there's a hint of unpredictability; a gentle shake-up that invites fresh insight. There's a sense that things are shifting, softening, and awakening. If you want to make changes, it's a great time to start.

ARIES

When you direct your focused attention onto something, it changes the way you experience it. You begin to notice nuances and complexities that you might otherwise overlook. This process helps us learn complicated tasks and absorb complex information. With the Full Moon in Cancer this weekend, you've got the power to see what's really unfolding in your world, and the ability to influence the outcome so that it turns out well. Something that looks challenging will turn out to be filled with potential.

TAURUS

When you try your best and focus all your energy on a goal, what happens? Well... you can achieve extraordinary results; the intensity of your focus enables you to prioritise tasks and overcome any obstacles. And when you're committed, your quality of work is high, and you feel great about what you accomplish. This weekend, the Cancerian Full Moon highlights your potential. It's time to shake free from the psychological shackles which have been holding you back and stride into 2026 with enthusiasm.

GEMINI

What a great way to start 2026. As your ruling planet Mercury, settles into a new sign, get ready to organise your life. Assisted by the patient, disciplined energy of Capricorn, you'll be able to make plans for the year ahead, and start actioning them. Excellent. Because you deserve to have more of what fills you with joy in your world. And with the Full Moon adding insight to the cosmic mix, you'll be inspired to consider options you've never thought of. Start the year as you mean to go on. Be as creative as you can be.

CANCER

As a Cancerian, you're particularly sensitive to other people's moods. But even you can't be 100% certain that you know what someone is feeling or thinking. You have a better idea than most of us, but you can't be sure you're not misreading the signs and signals, or misunderstanding the intel. Having said that, this weekend, with your ruler reaching its zenith in your sign, your intuition is on point. If you look beyond what's unfolding, you'll make a discovery that leads to an exciting, inspiring path forward.

LEO

Your moment has arrived. Whatever unfolds this weekend, it's happening at the right time. The Cancerian Full Moon, which is only visible because your ruler is shining its light on the lunar surface, is presenting you with the opportunity to make the choice you've been waiting/hoping to make. Your task is to follow your intuition. Which means setting your doubts aside. If not, you'll be too entangled in your thoughts to hear it. Then, you can make a bold move and set a life-enhancing process in motion.

VIRGO

As a mutable Virgo, your flexibility and malleability are important assets. Being able to adapt protects you much better than a suit of metaphorical armour. Rigid personalities can crack under pressure. You, however, are capable of changing and finding a way to fit into almost any situation. This Full Moon, New Year weekend, your kindness and gentleness are called for. If you find yourself forced to defend your position, go gently. Anger will confuse everything. A calm approach will create clarity.

LIBRA

We think the words 'surprise' and 'shock' are interchangeable. But there's a difference between the two. Surprise suggests an unexpected event which can be positive, negative, or neutral. Shock is almost always negative and intense. Surprise quickly transmutes into another emotion, whereas shock is a more lasting state. Although the Full Moon increases your sensitivity, your ability to see the bigger picture changes the way you react to a drama. You'll see the potential it holds, which is exciting.

SCORPIO

The weekend's Full Moon, which is infused with Uranus energy, brings inspiration to your aspirations. This powerful elixir can transform your approach to the new year and the journey ahead. If you find yourself having to choose between what to take with you and what to leave behind, remember that nothing will leave your world unless it's the right time for it to go. As long as you trust your instincts, you'll know what to do - and the decisions you make will have positive far-reaching consequences.

SAGITTARIUS

The digital age allows us to access huge quantities of information and a vast variety of different perspectives. The challenge is that it's harder and harder to distinguish truth from fake news. We've all got our own perspectives - and algorithms tend to reinforce our ideas, so that we avoid conflicting information. The weekend's Full Moon highlights a belief you wouldn't normally question. If you rethink it, you'll find that it's been limiting your ability to look ahead. Changing your mind will change your prospects.

CAPRICORN

With the Full Moon in your opposite sign this weekend, and Mercury (communication) settling into Capricorn, powerful celestial indications suggest that you're in for a New Year boost. Don't be surprised if you're feeling more emotional than usual. Not only is that OK, it's good! You'll be able to express yourself in ways that meet with understanding - and the conversations that ensue will strengthen your relationships. Which is good news, because the more supported you feel, the more successful you'll be.

AQUARIUS

Although the first Full Moon of the year brings a sensitivity that might feel difficult to deal with, it's heightening your receptivity. Which is excellent news. It's the perfect moment to see beyond a facade, break through the surface tension, and dive into the deep emotional waters beneath. The energy of your ruler, Uranus, sparkles over this weekend. It highlights a connection you need to make in order to move forward. The challenge is that it involves revealing your most vulnerable side. But you can do it.

PISCES

This new year weekend's Cancerian Full Moon brings a chance to look at a situation which has become unbalanced. Over time, subtle shifts have created a lop-sided power dynamic, which is not working in your favour. What can you do to change this? Start by engaging someone in open and honest conversation. You've got the insight to name the problem. And by articulating how you're feeling, you'll help them see things from a different/better perspective so that an organic, positive change can begin.
