Jan 3, 2026 | 13° Cancer
Jan 18, 2026 | 28° Capricorn
As we step into 2026, the cosmos isn't just asking for resolutions—it’s demanding a frequency alignment. This month features the closest Supermoon of the year, followed by a "CEO Moon" in Capricorn. Here is how to navigate the energy.
THE AUTHENTICITY STANDARD: Unlike generic guides, Crystals.com only recommends stones that are mineralogically vetted. Every Amethyst and Moonstone in our kits is free of heat-treatments and synthetic imitations to ensure your ritual has real Earth power.
01. The Wolf Supermoon in Cancer
Tomorrow morning, the first Supermoon of 2026 arrives at peak illumination. This Moon is at perigee, meaning it is physically closer to Earth, amplifying its gravitational and energetic pull. Situated in the sign of Cancer and conjunct Jupiter, this lunation is about emotional reclamation.
The Focus: Healing the "Emotional Debt" of 2025. It’s time to stop carrying baggage that doesn't belong to you.
Intuition & Flow
Pair the Supermoon energy with Rainbow Moonstone to harmonize your physical body with the lunar frequency.
Jupiter's Expansion
Use Amethyst Druze to ensure your emotional growth remains grounded in spiritual wisdom.

January 2026 Lunar Guide: The Wolf Supermoon & Capricorn Reset
We are starting 2026 with a "high-voltage" lunar event. Unlike a standard start to the year, the cosmos is demanding deep emotional truth before we build our new foundations. This month features a rare Supermoon in Cancer followed by a Defining New Moon in Capricorn.
THE CRYSTALS.COM PROMISE: Every stone recommended in this guide has been mineralogically vetted for authenticity. We do not sell heat-treated or synthetic imitations, ensuring your lunar rituals are powered by genuine Earth energy.
Part 1: The Full Wolf Supermoon in Cancer (January 3, 2026)
Peak Illumination: 5:03 AM EST | Astrological Sign: Cancer ($13^{\circ} 02’$)
The "Wolf Moon" of January 2026 is a Supermoon—appearing larger and brighter than usual as it reaches perigee (its closest point to Earth). Because it sits in the sign of Cancer, the sign the Moon "rules," its frequency is incredibly potent.
This Moon is conjunct Jupiter, the planet of expansion. This isn't just a time for feelings; it’s a time for massive emotional reclamation. It illuminates the axis between our public life (Capricorn Sun) and our private soul (Cancer Moon).
Crystals for the Wolf Supermoon:
- Moonstone: To harmonize with the Cancerian water energy and enhance intuition.
- Selenite: For clearing the "emotional static" that 2025 left behind.
- Amethyst: To bridge the gap between your heart's desires and your higher wisdom.
Part 2: The New Moon in Capricorn (January 18, 2026)
Peak Time: 2:52 PM EST | Astrological Sign: Capricorn ($28^{\circ} 43’$)
If the Full Moon was about feeling, the New Moon is about building. On January 18, Mercury and Mars will be perfectly aligned (conjunct) in Capricorn. This creates an "Architect's Portal"—a moment of sharp focus and extreme mental clarity.
This is the most powerful day of the year to set your 2026 professional and personal boundaries. Venus enters Aquarius just one day prior (Jan 17), adding a layer of innovative "future-thinking" to your intentions.
Crystals for the Capricorn Reset:
- Black Tourmaline: To protect your new boundaries from external noise.
- Pyrite: To attract the abundance and wealth that your new plans deserve.
- Garnet: The traditional Capricorn stone for grounding your fire into tangible results.
2026 Manifestation Ritual
- Full Moon Release: On Jan 3, write down three emotional burdens you carried in 2025. Place a Selenite stone over the paper, then safely burn or discard the paper to signify a "clean slate."
- New Moon Anchor: On Jan 18, hold a piece of Pyrite or Garnet. State one "Legacy Goal"—something you want to be remembered for in 2026. Keep this stone on your desk or in your wallet.
Step Into Your Power
2026 is the year of the Authentic Visionary. Don't settle for "fine." Use the tools that match your frequency.
