The first full moon of 2026 is the full wolf moon, and it rises in Cancer during Capricorn season. That mix is powerful. Cancer brings deep emotion, intuition, and inner sensitivity. Capricorn is focused on structure, responsibility, and forward motion. Together, they create a very real tension between what you feel and what you keep trying to push past.

This full moon is about releasing hidden feelings. The ones you have kept buried. The ones you have avoided by staying busy, focusing on tasks, focusing on other people, or keeping your attention on anything but what is actually happening inside you. This moon is asking you to deal with what you feel instead of managing around it.

Because this is the first full moon of the year, the message for the collective is strong. Surrender. Surrender to the divine. Surrender your fears. Surrender your doubts. Surrender negative emotions. Let go of old things that have been holding you back. This year is set to be prosperous if you can do that. If you can learn how to trust God, trust the universe, and surrender to what is bigger than you, you will be in a strong position for 2026.

Life is coming to a point of change. Some things are concluding. Some things are reaching a turning point. With this full moon in Cancer, you are being asked to tune into your emotions and listen to what they are telling you. A lot needs to be brought up, dealt with, confronted, and released. That is part of surrendering to the divine.

There are things you want that are going to happen. There are also things that will need to be let go of and moved into a realignment phase. Overall, the odds are in your favor because this is positive change. Even if the energy feels chaotic while it unfolds, this is still a turning point that leads to something better.

You may need to do extra work to keep things cool as the shift happens. The answers you have been seeking are coming. The change that has been bubbling beneath the surface is here. If emotions rise, breathe deep and stay calm. That calm is part of surrender.

Surrendering to the divine may also require forgiveness. You may need to forgive a person. You may need to forgive a situation. You may need to release negative energy you have been holding onto. Surrendering also means surrendering negativity against other people, because that energy blocks your own peace.

This full moon is also a time to check yourself. Have you been too focused on me, me, me. Have you been focused only on what you want. Ask yourself honestly if you have handled situations with the sensitivity and kindness you should have. You already know if you have been rash, harsh, moving too fast, skipping steps, or not being fair. This is the moment to look at your role and accept where your own behavior may have created certain circumstances.

This is not about shame. This is about honesty, growth, and realignment.

This full wolf moon is calling you to release what is no longer meant to be held. Release what is heavy. Release what is negative. Be honest, kind, truthful, and apologetic if necessary. Let go of anything that is weighing you down so you can welcome in positive change, light energy, fun energy, and peace.
