The night sky over the UK has a lot to offer in 2026. This year features powerful Super Moons, eclipse moments, and a rare Blue Moon, all of which are often linked (in astrology) to emotional shifts, endings and new beginnings.
If you’re keen to find out when they occur, the zodiac signs involved, and the type of energy they are commonly associated with, then you’ve come to the right place!
How to work with these events
- Super Moons: emotions are amplified so pause before reacting.
- Lunar Eclipses: something comes to completion or clarity.
- Solar Eclipses: new paths open, even if slowly.
- Blue Moon: heightened awareness and sudden insight.
3rd January 2026: Super Wolf Moon in Cancer
🌕
Event: Full Moon & Super Moon
Astrological sign: Cancer
This is the first full moon of the year and one of the brightest. Super Moons tend to heighten emotional awareness, and Cancer energy focuses on feelings, home and personal security.
Energy to watch for:
Emotions may feel closer to the surface. This is a reflective moon, often linked with nostalgia, family matters, and the need for comfort. It’s a good time to slow down, rest, and reset your emotional boundaries.
17th February 2026: Solar Eclipse in Aquarius
🌑
Event: New Moon Solar Eclipse
Astrological sign: Aquarius
Solar eclipses always happen at a new moon and are linked with fresh starts and long-term changes. While this eclipse is subtle visually from the UK, its symbolic impact is strong.
Energy to watch for:
Aquarius relates to change, independence and future thinking. This eclipse may bring new ideas, shifts in social circles, or a push to step away from old patterns. What begins now often unfolds gradually over the next six months.
3rd March 2026: Total Lunar Eclipse (Blood Moon) in Virgo
🌕
Event: Full Moon & Total Lunar Eclipse
Astrological sign: Virgo
Lunar eclipses are associated with endings, revelations and emotional clarity. This one falls in Virgo, a sign linked to routine, health, and organisation.
Energy to watch for:
This eclipse can highlight what is no longer working in daily life. It’s a strong moment for releasing unhealthy habits, easing self-criticism, and simplifying routines. The focus is improvement, not perfection.
31st May 2026: Blue Moon in Sagittarius
🌕
Event: Blue Moon (The second Full Moon in a single calendar month.)
Astrological sign: Sagittarius
Blue Moons are rare and often feel like an emotional or symbolic “extra chapter.”
Energy to watch for:
Sagittarius energy is curious, optimistic, and truth-seeking. This moon may bring sudden insights, a desire for change, or a shift in perspective. It supports learning, travel planning and reconnecting with long-term goals.
24th November 2026: Super Moon in Gemini
🌕
Event: Full Moon & Super Moon
Astrological sign: Gemini
This Super Moon brings mental activity and communication into focus.
Energy to watch for:
Gemini energy is fast-moving and curious. Conversations, decisions and information may feel heightened. It’s a good time for honest discussions, writing, learning, and seeing situations from more than one angle.
23rd December 2026: Super Moon in Cancer
🌕
Event: Full Moon & Super Moon
Astrological sign: Cancer
This is the final and strongest Super Moon of the year, landing just before Christmas.
Energy to watch for:
This moon often carries a deeply reflective tone. Themes of home, family, emotional closure and gratitude are common. It’s well suited to letting go of the past year and reconnecting with what feels emotionally meaningful.
2026 is a year of emotional awareness and gradual change rather than sudden disruption. The Moon’s cycles encourage reflection, honest self-assessment, and thoughtful new beginnings.
You don’t need to “do” anything special, simply paying attention can be enough.
