Full Moon in Leo 2026

On February 1st at 2:09 PM PST the Full Snow Moon arrives! Indigenous people called it this as typically this Moon appears we have our deepest cold snap for the season. This year is no exception with many states experiencing their coldest season in years.

Leo is a Fixed Fire sign; Fixed as it lands in the second month of Summer, and the Fire element strongest as Leo is ruled by the Sun. The Sun is in Aquarius now, and the Moon is exactly opposite it at 13 degrees Leo 4 minutes. When we have a Full Moon we look in hindsight at what we were hoping for, planning for, when the Moon was New. On July 24th of 2025 the New Moon in Leo was asking us, “what is your passion?” Leo rules our authentic self, the version of us that wishes to leave our mark upon the world.  Creativity comes in many forms; the most beautiful one having children. Their unbroken spirit shows us how to play, their self expression doesn’t judge the outcome, and they automatically lean toward their reason for coming here. Art, music and imagination soar when we have patience with our abilities, and improve upon them. The key is to follow the vision of your creation with an open heart.

On this Full Moon there are many planetary aspects at work. Not only does the Moon oppose the Sun, but also Venus and Mars in Aquarius. When Venus is in this sign we love to engage with others intellectually, sharing what we care most about. But the Moon in Leo is more concerned with the self's’ fulfillment. Here’s the rub.You can have conflicting emotional desires and needs which complicate your personal life. You may feel that you cannot depend on your love partner to take care of you or perhaps you cannot decide what you really want in a love relationship. If your needs for emotional sustenance and love are not satisfied, overeating (especially sweets) can be a problem now. This opposition is a balancing act of self/others comfort, so take a deep dive and get a sure footing.

The opposition from Mars to the Moon can make for temper tantrums. When Mars is in Aquarius the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the one. You may want to gather the troops and right the social wrongs, rebel against conformity, and search for freedom for yourself and others. We can be very temperamental and impatient now, and can be very difficult to live with. Watch out for becoming irritable and bad tempered if you do not have enough vigorous physical activities or other outlets for your aggressive, feisty spirit. You can use this opposition to excuse yourself if you need to and reassess why you feel hurt. Then prioritize your actions to show your authentic feelings without blowing someone away with anger or misunderstandings.

While the Moon opposes Venus and Mars, Jupiter in Cancer inconjuncts them. This aspect asks for an adjustment, an understanding of differences. Jupiter expands energy and in Cancer, the home, family, and security are paramount. The goal being more, bigger, better for all involved. The friction comes from Venus’s need for pleasure, comfort, and unmet needs. This aspect creates tension, pushing for growth in areas of love, money, and self-worth, but often with friction, requiring conscious effort to balance abundance with true contentment.

When Jupiter, the planet of growth and expansion inconjuncts Mars, the aggressive planet of action, we can rush ahead without forethought. We can spread ourselves too thin, rush, overdo things if we don’t pay attention. Try not to take on too many projects at once; your energy could get scattered and you might not finish what you start. Avoid making major financial investments or purchases; your judgment might be a bit off under this influence.

So there you have it! It’s time to stabilize your life through considering you are the center of your universe, creating the next step with justice, fairness and love for yourself and others. It all depends on you, what you believe you are worthy of in this lifetime. Shoot for the stars!

New Moon in Capricorn 2026

On January 18th at 11:52 AM PST the Sun and Moon align at 28 degrees Capricorn 44 minutes, creating the New Moon. On this occasion, the Moon rises and sets with the Sun, making it not present in the night sky. It will be the perfect night to see the stars and what we normally cannot view with the Moonlight.

This is our first New Moon of the year, and time to envision our future with regards to our career, our work and reputation, and our ambitions. Capricorn is the builder of the zodiac, the sign that guides our goals in life, and brings us maturity. Ruled by Saturn, the taskmaster, it’s time to realize our responsibilities and attend to them. We can find practical solutions to our life's quests and put them into practice. Saturn will bring us limitation in order to steer us toward fulfillment, through the hard work needed to be successful. We access maturity through challenges and delays. Capricorn is a Cardinal Earth sign, and begins the Winter season starting with the Winter Solstice. The Earth element is grounding, encouraging this sign to climb the mountain of personal success.

At the time of this New Moon, the planets and luminaries have gathered together in a stellium in Capricorn, including the Sun, Moon, Mercury and Mars. Venus and Pluto conjoin these; Venus at 1 degree Aquarius, and Pluto at 3 degrees Aquarius. This is our team for collaboration and change in the coming year. The world and its people are changing so quickly, take a moment and focus on what is needed to change in your life. First the stellium in Capricorn.

When Mercury conjoins the Sun and Moon, we have a heightened period for communication, intellect, and emotion, which can lead to overthinking or mental stress. Or, it can promote creativity and deep connections with others. This aspect signifies a strong mental-emotional link with the self (Sun/Moon) through Mercury's thinking and expression, making it ideal for communication but demanding clarity to avoid confusion. Mars conjunct the Sun and Moon brings us a highly energetic period where your core identity (Sun) and emotional world (Moon) are activated by Mars' fiery, assertive drive. This aspect leads us to immense motivation, potential conflict, increased physical energy, passion, and a need for bold action. Mars is pushing you to assert yourself and potentially leading to breakthroughs or burnout if not channeled constructively.

Venus in Aquarius conjunct the Sun and Moon brings a humanitarian grace to the table. Venus rules love, beauty, and values, and in Aquarius it is all about freedom. Friendship, mental connection, and individuality in relationships is paramount, so expressing affection through shared ideals or humanitarian efforts rather than traditional romance is possible. This is a very creative aspect, and with the compassionate energies available now, we can create something for ourselves and others to enjoy. The conjunction to Pluto in Aquarius focuses on dismantling old power structures, embracing collective innovation, new technology, and social evolution. We are moving towards inclusivity, shared resources, challenging outdated traditions with deep, transformative, sometimes disruptive energy, bringing radical change and forcing societal awakening to build more equitable systems. It is the end of an old era, and we are all here to help create the new one.

The Sun, Moon, Mercury and Mars all trine Uranus at 27 degrees Taurus. Uranus is the planet of freedom. This transit challenges Taurus's love for the status quo, urging us to embrace new technologies for food, energy, and economics, moving towards sustainable abundance rather than stagnant materialism. Uranus shakes up what Taurus holds dear—money, food, the environment, and our senses—introducing tech (like AI in farming) and new systems for resources. Combining these energies makes this a powerful time for new plans, new thinking, new emotions, all things evolving. Be fearless and stand tall, take this initiative and create abundance with meaning and love.

Full SuperMoon in Cancer 2026

On January 3rd at 2:02 AM PST we have a Full Super Moon; the first of 2026. The Sun is stationed at 13 degrees Capricorn 2 minutes, and the Moon at 13 degrees Cancer 2 minutes.

Full Moons are the culmination of hopes and dreams cast when the Moon was New. In this case, the Moon was new in Cancer June 25th of 2025. This was the beginning of Summer, and a time where family, security and our home was most important. Were the goals you set designed around delivering on the love and inspiration of the longer days, or the garden, fixing your home, or working to bring your family closer? Now look at where you are in your life right now, and if you’ve arrived at the goals you set. If you haven’t fully realized your goals, you can take this time to pause, reconsider and live in the dreamscape of what you wish to realize.

Capricorn Sun directs us to be ambitious, responsible and practical. This Earth Sign is eager to create a foundation from which to build upon. Capricorns build upon their last success, learn from their mistakes, and appreciate the material things that life offers. They work hard for what they receive and it‘s lasting rather than fleeting.

With this Full SuperMoon, shining brighter and appearing so much closer than we usually see, we are emotionally set up to discover the cracks in the surface. Things that normally get swept under the rug can rear their ugly head and beg for attention. Cancer is ruled by the Moon in astrology, and all things regarding Mother, home and family are fair game for outbursts. Unresolved issues from the past can surface in order for us to see them through our “new eyes”, ones that have seen from experience we are always learning and growing through the mistakes we make. The aspects the Moon makes to the Sun and planets are very important for us to consider.

The planets Venus and Mars join forces with the Sun to oppose the Full Moon. Venus at 12 degrees Capricorn creates pressure/anxiety regarding the balance of your practical responsibilities and your emotional needs. Balancing career with the nurturing of home and family. These challenges inspire a closer look at your finances and your long term goals, and how you wish to achieve them. What Cancer Moon inspires is a deep and authentic connection with your family.

Mars at 14 degrees Capricorn inspires us to demand respect as we are reliable, consistent and never give up. Opposite the Full Moon the theme becomes even more contentious between our physical and emotional well being. Our ambitions can play tug-of-war with our need for fulfillment. Once learning to love what we do for income by taking chances for change, we can harmonize our life. This dynamic calls for balancing hard work with self-care, setting boundaries for your emotions, and finding security in your inner world while pursuing external success.

These most important goals are ours to reach for now. Slowly, strategically and methodically review what needs attention, and set doable goals that you can accomplish. Remember the balance of your career/work and home life are the turf now, so create away!
