Learn about February's Full Moon in Leo, what it means for you, and how to celebrate it with witchcraft and moon magic.
February's Full Moon is known as the Snow Moon. This moon takes its name from the snow that falls abundantly on the ground in this period, as typically, the heaviest snowfall month is February in the United States. This month's full moon falls in the astrological sign of Leo, the proud lion of the Zodiac. Leo's are known for their leadership abilities and self-confidence.
It is a moon that invites you to take stock of the situation and look at yourself objectively to recognize your own defects and shortcomings. The name of the month derives from the Latin februare, which means "purify" or "a remedy for errors" since in the Roman calendar February was the period of purification rituals held in honor of the Roman goddess Febris.
The Snow Moon
This is a month linked to purification, material and spiritual. We can take advantage of this moon to take a journey within us to objectively recognize our defects and enhance our strengths, forgive our mistakes to give life to new projects. We embellish our house/altar with symbols of ice and the earliest and most fragrant flowers that bring us the promise of a new rebirth.
A nice thing you could do today is to take some seeds to plant in a new pot with new soil. This gesture is not just a hymn to new life, but you could identify in the seeds the projects you would like to achieve this year. Seeing them grow little by little would be like entrusting your goals to the deity you worship or work with. As the plant grows, your dreams will grow, too, until they become a reality. You could also plant aromatic herbs or plants that will be useful to you in the various rituals, setting up a real vegetable garden, garden, or magical balcony.
Meditation is one of the most suitable things during this full moon. A nice reflection on yourself and the goals you want to implement can help you gain clarity on the direction to move next. Trying to eliminate blocks, fears, and everything that is holding you back would be helpful during this time. You can perform a simple ritual: write down everything you want to eliminate from your life, such as fears, bad habits, vices, etc., when you feel ready, burn everything in front of a white candle, then entrust the ashes to the lady of the night. In this rite, you will always have to remember that the darkness present in your life is necessary because without the darkness there can be no light.
Leo Moon and what that means for you
The upcoming Full Moon on February 5th will fall in the astrological sign Leo. Leo is a self-expressive and confident sign ruled by the Sun. The energy of the Leo full moon is creative and self-expressive and will boost your self-confidence. Enabling you to take action on the things you've put off due to self-doubt.
While the full moon falls in Leo, the Sun is in Aquarius, so both of these energies will have us focused on balancing that is personal in Leo and impersonal in Aquarius. You may also feel a boost in your ego through romantic relationships or pleasure. You'll want to focus on finding the balance between romance and friendship and between expressing yourself. Leo is an intense individual, not happy with just being a person on the team, but is driven to stand out. Take advantage of this energy while you can!
A little attention can also be spent on divination or, in any case, on all the magical gifts that are part of you. You may try to develop them to the fullest or embrace new magical paths you want to explore.
