The Full Moon in February is often referred to as the Snow Moon, but it's also known by many other names like the Hunger Moon, Death Moon, Ice Moon, and Bone Moon. It marks a time of purification, overcoming obstacles, and deep spiritual connection.
This year, the Full Moon falls on February 12th, 2025 in the fiery and courageous sign of Leo.
Full moons are the culmination of the lunar cycle, a time when the energies are at their peak. It's a powerful moment to reflect, release, and manifest. Full moons invite us to bring things into the light, shed old energy, and set the stage for new beginnings. As the moon reaches its fullest point, our intuition and emotions are heightened, making it the perfect opportunity for spiritual practices that support our growth and transformation.
What does the Snow Moon symbolise?
The Snow Moon takes its name from the harsh weather conditions traditionally experienced in February, especially in the northern hemisphere. It’s a time when the earth is still cold, food stores are running low, and the arrival of spring feels like a distant hope. In this energy of scarcity, we are called to purify, declutter, and clear away anything that no longer serves us – both in our physical and emotional spaces. It’s a time of letting go and overcoming obstacles to make room for abundance.
In many cultures, the February Full Moon is also seen as a time of heightened psychic energy, creativity, and connection to the otherworld. It’s a powerful time for communicating with our guides, ancestors, and the unseen realms. Spiritually, it’s a perfect moment to tap into your inner wisdom and invite clarity into your life.
Spiritual Practices to Harness the Full Moon Energy
Here are some practices to embrace during the Full Moon in Leo and the Snow Moon:
Purify Your Space – Cleanse your home and surroundings by burning incense or ritual herbs like clary sage, rosemary, or mugwort. These herbs help clear stagnant energy, allowing fresh, healing energy to enter.
Moonlit Journaling – Reflect on the past month and write down what you wish to release. What has been holding you back? Write it down and then burn or bury the paper as an act of letting go.
Connect with Your Ancestors – The Snow Moon is a powerful time to connect with those who have passed. Set up a small altar with items that remind you of your loved ones and spend time in meditation or prayer. You can ask for guidance or wisdom from the other side.
Creative Expression – The Leo Full Moon encourages self-expression, so channel any emotional intensity into creative pursuits like writing, painting, dancing, or singing. Let your heart guide you and honor your personal uniqueness.
Release & Manifest – The energy of the full moon amplifies manifestation. Focus on letting go of negative thought patterns or past wounds and then set clear intentions for the future. What do you want to manifest in your life as we move toward spring?
Take a Moon Bath – Step outside and bathe in the light of the full moon. Allow its energy to cleanse and renew you. If you're unable to go outside, simply sit near a window where the moonlight can shine on you.
This February’s Snow Moon is calling us to purify, release, and embrace our creative power. Take time to tap into the fullness of this energy – it’s a moment to step into your authenticity, overcome your inner obstacles, and prepare for the fresh start that spring will bring.
Let go of the old, make space for the new, and trust that everything is unfolding perfectly.
