Full Wolf Moon in Cancer tarot reading for every zodiac sign

The Full Wolf Supermoon is on the rise, folks — peaking on Saturday, January 3, 2026, 5:03 a.m. EST at 13°01 Cancer.

Symbolized by the crab, and ruled by the moon itself, Cancer is the sign of the divine feminine, oceanic emotion, the past, and our longing for it.

Full Molf Moon Janury 2026

This lunation brings up themes of introspection, family, home, origins, the ties that bind and the boundaries that blur, the tidal force of healing, and the quiet knowing of intuition.

In honor of the first full moon of 2026, author and tarot reader Kerry Ward has prepared a tarot pull for each zodiac element using ‘The Crystal Magic Tarot deck’ available here.

Fire signs – Aries, Leo, Sagittarius

Ace of Wands

While Full Moons can be a time of quiet reflection and contemplation, fire signs are encouraged to activate under the light of this lunation.

“The Ace of Wands is an ignition key, and you will be using it to create or explore a fresh lifestyle ritual, a new course or class, a creative project, a travel ambition, or even your 2026 mega-goal,” said Ward.

She notes that the spark of what’s to come could reveal itself to you in a dream around this time.

“Pay attention to your night-time meanderings, narratives, feelings, and strange associations. Write them down. Join the dots. Let coincidental and intuitive threads spool from your dreams into new shapes in real life.” 

Earth signs – Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn

Four of Coins

For earth signs, the powerful light of the Full Wolf Moon unlocked a painful, long-buried secret.

“This Full Moon latches onto something hidden deep inside your heart; an old wound, a festering regret, a shard of shame. Now it’s ready to be released,” Ward told The Post.

She shared that this ritual release begins by acknowledging, clarifying, and examining the source of this pain and permitting oneself to fully feel the emotions attached to it.

“Have a Full Moon bath, sit outside in the moonbeams, and cry, write, howl, shout. Rest and awaken refreshed, cleansed, and at peace with what you couldn’t face. This Full Moon is your safe space,” Ward said.

Air signs – Gemini, Libra, Aquarius

Page of Cups

The Page of Cups reveals that your inner child is wide awake and combing the catacombs of your childhood during this Full Moon.

“What is there to be learned here? What habits or rituals can you see yourself leaning into now that mirror this time? What generational dynamics are repeating? What have you rejected or done differently?” asks Ward.

She assures that there is warm, playful and necessary energy to be mined here.

“Let your mind go back… and see what influence you can bring back to your home and family now.” 

Water signs – Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces

The Hanged Man

According to Ward, The Hanged Man is a reminder that healing comes in many guises.

“You will receive new healing this Full Moon in Cancer from a completely unexpected source. Possibly a Piscean person who is usually a source of stress, perhaps a book, film, or song, perhaps an illusion or delusion you held is shattered, but the truth is liberating vs scary,” she said.

However healing makes itself known to you, she encourages water folk to welcome it with grace and gratitude.

“We all need new stimulus if we’re to change our feelings, and you will be gifted something.”
