Snow Full Moon
The February Full Moon is here to witness what has come full circle in our lives and to assist us in releasing. We are supported in handing over anything that is too heavy to carry into the future to the Snow Moon, as we cleanse, purify, and refine.
Pure as Snow
February’s Full Moon is also known as the Snow Moon. In the past, winter weather often brought hard frosts in January and lighter frosts in February, which produced deep snow.
The Snow Moon is also sometimes called the Clean or Blessing Moon, which fits well with February—a month named after an ancient purification ritual.
Snow carries a quality of purification and clarity, and the Full Snow Moon touches upon this month’s theme of cleansing as we approach the end of the winter season.
The last Full Moon of winter holds themes of culmination, clearing, and release, inviting us to create a clean slate from which to rebuild what we love in the coming spring—along with the germinating thoughts of how that might take shape.
Coming Full Circle
The Snow Moon casts light on the messages we receive from our bodies, our intuition, our hearts, and our inner knowing—rather than from the intellect.
Everything has a vibration, and Mother Moon is here to assist you in learning the art of tuning into frequency, so you can begin to make better choices for yourself.
Not all energy is meant for us, and our bodies remind us of this through the nervous system and our emotions. When you master the art of navigating your body’s energetic sensitivity, you begin to live in the frequency that is right for you.
From this place, healing, attraction, and manifestation become much easier. You can feel what resonates and start to call in the parts and qualities of life that have previously been missing.
It all begins with unwinding and releasing, in order to attract an energy that aligns more fully with the life you wish to live.
During this Full Moon, relationships, projects, or dreams may be coming full circle and ready for release.
Whatever arises for you, try to meet it with grace and gratitude for the life lessons learned—however they came to you—as valuable teachings about what is no longer sustainable and where stronger boundaries are needed.
This is especially true in relation to habits and patterns that do not support your overall health and well-being.
There is a heightened awareness around self-care now, alongside powerful support for making necessary changes.
“Know the difference between those who stay to feed the soil and those who come to grab the fruit. ”
Upleveling Through Release
Think of this time as an invitation and an opportunity to level up. For growth to occur, we must first acknowledge and release what is no longer sustainable.
At the same time, we are invited to feel into the field of our desire—to sense what we truly long for—envision it by expanding our creativity and imagination, and then take grounded action steps towards manifesting it.
You may experience a push–pull energy, as you are called to recalibrate your entire system towards greater stability. This can feel like a fine-tuning process between the parts of you that have been content in the past and the parts that long to break free into greater freedom and expansion into the unknown. Seek balance between the two, and focus on changing the small things first. Remember: big changes are the result of small, consistent actions.
Use discernment where needed, especially in relation to your physical and emotional needs. Care and service are noble, but not at the expense of yourself.
Monitor your energy over the coming weeks so you remain true to yourself and allow room for joy in the process. Create moments of rest away from the world’s demands, so you can make choices from a place of focus, clarity, and alignment.
“Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?”
Germination Point
Under the light of this Full Moon, some of the dream seeds you planted at the beginning of the year may begin to crack open and germinate. Germination is the first phase of growth, when the seed awakens and starts to unfold.
Much of this process still takes place on the invisible plane, beneath the dark winter soil. It is a quiet and wondrous unfolding, happening in silence and in rhythm with nature. The perfect plan—the blueprint held within every seed—ensures that growth begins only when the conditions are right.
The Moon invites you to turn inward and listen to your heart. Like Deneb, the Swan star of legend, let your dreams take flight and your inner wisdom guide you. This is a time to honour your own path, release what no longer serves you, and awaken the qualities within that have longed to soar. Let the quiet light of winter illuminate your desires, and step into them with courage and clarity.
What Do You Want?
Under the Snow Full Moon, you are supported in discerning whether you have been listening to what your heart truly wants lately—and, if not, in taking a moment to gain clarity on your desires without being swayed by the opinions of others.
Listen. Feel. Find ways to keep your frequency high. What slumbers within you and longs to awaken with the right to exist? What dream is rising into your awareness? Go inward and find your still point. From there, you can feel connected to everything. Give your inner magician space and become aware of your possibilities—you can create whatever you desire.
We are now slowly moving towards spring, which also brings the astrological New Year. Take this time to release what has run its course, so you can offer your energy to the longings that truly resonate with your soul.
Use the light of winter’s last Full Moon to illuminate what it is that you—and you alone—desire.
Living your best life is crucial at this moment in history. Not only is it your birthright as a human being to thrive; becoming a happier and healthier person is also of immense service to the world.
The Snow Moon is not afraid to shine, and tonight it asks you to be willing to do the same.

Snow Full Moon Practices
Count Your Blessings
Full Moons are like full houses. They invite reflection on what has grown in your life: the wisdom you have gained, the lessons you have learned, and the love you have received. Gratitude is a powerful way to manifest your best life.
When you recognise how abundant you already are in certain areas of your life, you become better able to receive opportunities as they arise.
Gratitude also attracts more joy, love, and meaningful experiences, as you begin to notice them in many places throughout your day. If you find this difficult at times, a helpful practice is to write your blessings down. You might also begin a simple night-time ritual: before sleep, think of three good things from your day to cultivate your gratitude attitude.
Keep Dreaming
Winter is the perfect season for dreaming. As plants and animals hibernate, so do we. It is a time for deep dreaming about the year ahead and what you wish to grow in your life. Like small seeds, ideas are first planted in the mind, to be acted upon later.
In our modern Western culture of instant gratification, we are not always comfortable with the slowness of cultivation. Yet this slowness is a natural principle—a rhythm and cycle that supports life itself. As much as you may feel ready to move forward, there is still a little dream time left in February.
So keep your dreams alive, sweet one.
