Computed with astronomy-engine, tropical zodiac. The instant is the same everywhere; only the local clock reading differs.
At a full moon the Moon stands opposite the Sun and is fully lit: here the Moon in Cancer, the Sun in Capricorn. It is read as the peak of the cycle that began at the previous new moon, when what was under way becomes visible along the Cancer–Capricorn axis. Cancer is a cardinal water sign ruled by the Moon. Its keywords: protective, intuitive, loyal.
This cycle began with the new moon in Sagittarius on 9 December 2026.
This full moon falls at 2°14' Cancer. Each sun sign meets it in a different house, counted with whole-sign houses from Cancer. If you know your rising sign, read that one too.
4th house · home and family
A full moon in your fourth house lights up home and family while work pulls from the other side. Feelings about where and how you live come to the surface. Give private life its due attention before the next push at work.
3rd house · communication and daily contacts
In your third house the full moon brings conversations to a conclusion. Something said or written may land with extra weight, and news travels fast. Finish the message, the paperwork or the short course, and check facts before reacting.
2nd house · money and values
In your second house the full moon brings money and possessions to a head. Expenses, earnings and what you actually value become easier to see. It is a clear moment to review a budget or let go of something you no longer use.
1st house · self and image
A full moon in your first house puts you in the spotlight while the Sun lights your relationships from the opposite side. Your needs and other people’s may pull in different directions. Notice where you have been giving too much or too little of yourself.
12th house · rest and the inner life
A full moon in your twelfth house brings up what has been hidden or put off, including tiredness. It is a time to rest, reflect and close a chapter quietly. Feelings may run high; give them space rather than acting on them straight away.
11th house · friends and community
In your eleventh house the full moon brings friendships, groups and long-term hopes into focus. You may see clearly who is really in your corner. Celebrate with people, or step back from a circle that no longer fits.
10th house · career and reputation
A full moon in your tenth house lights up career and reputation. Efforts at work tend to become visible now, for better or worse, while home needs call from the other side. Take stock of what you have achieved and what it cost.
9th house · travel, study and beliefs
In your ninth house the full moon brings study, travel plans or a belief to a turning point. Results of a course or application may arrive, and a trip may come together. Notice what you have learned since this cycle began six months ago.
8th house · intimacy and shared resources
A full moon in your eighth house brings shared finances and emotional intimacy to the surface. A debt, a joint decision or a question of trust may need settling. It is a strong time to let go of what is no longer yours to carry.
7th house · partnerships
In your seventh house the full moon puts a partnership or close collaboration at centre stage. What has been building between you becomes visible. It favours honest conversation and fair give-and-take over trying to win.
6th house · work routines and health
A full moon in your sixth house highlights your daily workload and health. Where your routine has been out of balance tends to become obvious. Finish a pending task, rest if you are run down, and adjust the schedule rather than pushing through.
5th house · romance, creativity and play
In your fifth house the full moon brings romance, creative work and fun to a peak. It is a good time to show what you have made, enjoy a celebration or be honest about how you feel. Drama is possible; generosity helps.
