The Astrología Interdimensional podcast, hosted by astrologer and symbolic analyst Aripka Maia, premiered a new episode entitled “Full Moon in Cancer January 3: the heart wants home, the mind wants plan”, a key installment to understand the emotional, psychological and bodily climate with which 2026 starts. HERE you can listen to the podcast.
From a technical approach, he explains that a Full Moon is produced by the opposition between the Sun and the Moon, an astrological moment associated with culminations, revelations and awareness: that which was latent is illuminated and that which no longer sustains asks for closure.

One of the central themes of the episode is the Cancer-Capricorn tension, a classic contrast between the need for emotional refuge, belonging and care (Cancer) versus structure, responsibility, limits and concrete reality (Capricorn).
Aripka stresses that this is not a “soft” Full Moon, as the opposite sky is charged with Capricornian energy with the presence of the Sun, Venus, Mars and Mercury.
The slogan is clear: feeling is not enough if it is not ordered, but ordering without feeling ends up taking its toll.
The episode raises a key question for those listening from the U.S., where work, immigration and family demands often weigh heavily: how to build stability without emotionally betraying oneself in the attempt?
Venus under examination and emotions amplified
Another relevant point is the analysis of Venus in conjunction to the Sun, which in astrology is known as Venus “combusta”.
Aripka explains that the Venusian themes-love, bonds, self-worth, desire and pleasure-enter a phase of internal revision.
It is not “bad love”, but love under evaluation, with uncomfortable but necessary questions: does this nourish me or does it cost me identity, is it real desire or pure emotional survival?
To this is added an amplifying factor: the Full Moon conjunct Jupiter in Cancer, which expands the emotional experience.
In practical terms, what is felt is felt more: it increases sensitivity, nostalgia, affective memory and longing for home, whether literal or internal.
Aripka Maia sums it up with a powerful image: if Capricorn is the CEO who insists on continuing, Cancer is the child who turns off the computer when the system can’t take any more.
The body also speaks
The episode devotes an important section to the somatic reading of this lunation.
With Cancer activated and Jupiter amplifying, the body can manifest what is not verbalized: digestive discomfort, knots in the stomach, tightness in the chest, emotional fatigue, fluid retention or an intense need for rest.
The symbolic logic is clear: when the psyche is silent, the body speaks.
Aripka Maia closes the episode by taking astrology to the applicable: she proposes a mature integration between both poles.
To contain oneself without isolating oneself, to set limits without hardening oneself, to take care of oneself without becoming childish and to build without betraying oneself.
In addition, it introduces the sign-by-sign and house-by-house reading as a practical tool to identify which area of life calls for emotional closure, which structure needs to be redefined and which adult decision marks the beginning of 2026.
The new episode of Astrología Interdimensional is now available on all audio platforms, such as Apple Podcasts and Spotify, where you will also find other titles promoted by Qué Onnda and Nueva Network, such as Cambia tu Vida con la Numerología and A tu Salud Mujer Podcast.
