Right before Valentine’s Day, the February New Moon, also known as the Snow Moon, is set to shine in all its glory! Stargazers are in for a treat as not only the moon but also planet Venus will be at its brightest.
But why is February’s full moon called the Snow Moon, and what does it mean astrologically? Let’s find out!
Why Is February’s Full Moon Called the Snow Moon?
The name Snow Moon originates from the Farmer’s Almanac, which began publishing full moon names in the 1930s. However, its roots go back further. In the 1760s, Captain Jonathan Carver wrote that Native American tribes named it Snow Moon because February receives more snowfall than any other winter month.
But this February is extra special! A rare planetary alignment will bring together five bright planets in clear view—Venus, Jupiter, Mars, Mercury, and Saturn. The next similar event won’t happen until October 2028, making this a powerful astrological moment.
How Will the February Snow Moon Impact You?
The February Snow Moon will reach its peak illumination on February 12, 2025, at 5:53 AM PT. Positioned in the bold and passionate zodiac sign of Leo, this full moon is set to stir emotions, ignite desires, and open new opportunities. However, it also brings challenges, especially for three zodiac signs:
Aries (March 21 - April 19)
Expect a surge of energy and romantic intensity.
Creativity will skyrocket, amplifying artistic ideas.
You may feel erratic emotions—think carefully before making big career or love decisions.
Taurus (April 20 - May 20)
Significant changes in home and personal life are coming.
Expect deep emotional realizations and personal growth.
With Venus aligned, romantic and family relationships will strengthen.
Leo (July 23 - August 22)
A boost of confidence is on the way!
You might receive long-awaited recognition in your career or personal life.
Be mindful of burnout and emotional overreactions due to the moon’s strong influence.
Whether you embrace the intense energy or lay low and reflect, the Snow Moon is a powerful time for change, passion, and self-discovery. Stay open to opportunities, but balance emotions to make the most of this celestial event!
