The sky on January 1, 2026
On Thursday, January 1, 2026, the Moon was waxing in Gemini (Waxing Gibbous, 91% lit) — a air-sign Moon that coloured the day's mood. It also fell close to the full moon in cancer: The year opens at full emotional volume — family matters and home truths culminate. For Cancer — a water sign ruled by Moon — that air Moon asked you to balance your usual style with a different energy.
