Moon in Cancer – dates and periods in 2026

What this means

Everything lands close to the heart: care, memory, home and the feeling of being understood without extra words matter most.

Now Moon in Cancer: from 9 August 2026 to 11 August 2026, Eastern Time.

The Moon crosses a sign in about two and a half days, so what is shown here is the current year: 2026 has 14 periods. If you need another year, or several at once, use Moon Search. Each one begins at the exact moment Moon in Cancer and ends when it moves into the next sign. Eastern Time.
