A powerful Snow Full Moon will illuminate the night sky on Sunday, February 1, at 11:08 PM, falling within the fiery sign of Leo. Astrologers say the Sun, currently traveling through Aquarius alongside Mercury, Venus, Mars, and Pluto, creates a tense atmosphere signaling determination and a willingness to push through challenges.
The celestial alignment suggests potential for crises and intense confrontations. Caution and careful consideration are advised for all zodiac signs during this period, which promises dramatic events. Ego-driven plans may falter, and overconfidence could lead to setbacks. Some individuals may also experience limitations on their personal freedom. This is a time when the cosmos often reflects back our own ambitions and vulnerabilities, a common theme in astrological forecasts.
In the Sign of Leo
Table of Contents
Astrology describes the energy of Leo as passionate, vibrant, creative, and full of life. Like other fire signs (Aries and Sagittarius), Leos are brimming with energy, enthusiasm, and a desire for success. They are also known for their generosity, warmth, and love. Traditionally ruling the heart, Leo’s influence often brings matters of love and passion to the forefront, inspiring grand gestures and unwavering devotion. This alignment could also bring revelations involving figures of power.
Under the Influence of Aquarius
This Full Moon in Leo is strongly influenced by Aquarius, its opposing sign, which introduces excitement and unexpected twists into life’s narratives. The dramatic positioning foreshadows confrontational events and a heightened atmosphere. The planet Mars in Aquarius further complicates the situation, potentially acting as a disruptive force – a decisive cut. It’s advisable to avoid impulsive actions and maintain a broader perspective.
What Can Help During These Days?
Full Moons generally amplify emotions, sensitivity, and inner tension. However, the benevolent Jupiter in Cancer offers a softening influence, guiding everyone back towards feelings of safety, care, and inner stability. It’s a time to remember where you belong, to feel accepted and loved for who you are. Seeking support from family, close relationships, or a sense of home – or simply acknowledging those who help maintain it – can be particularly grounding.
February’s Full Moon: Snowy, Hungry, Icy
This February Full Moon is known as the Snow Moon. Historically, Native American hunters tracked animals by their footprints in the snow during this time. Old Celtic traditions referred to it as the Ice Moon, as it’s the coldest Full Moon of the year. Some Native American tribes also called it the Hungry Moon, as harsh winter conditions made hunting difficult and food scarce. It’s a period demanding patience, resilience, and perseverance, even when things seem hopeless. Astrological events like these often tap into ancient cultural understandings of the natural world.

Snow Moon and Health: What to Watch For
Leo influences the heart, circulation, blood pressure, as well as the back and diaphragm. These organs are particularly sensitive around the Full Moon, so prioritize their care and avoid overexertion. Minimizing stress, supplementing with magnesium, doing back exercises, requesting a back massage from a partner, and caring for your hair are all beneficial. Even the lion takes pride in its mane! If a salon visit isn’t possible, treat your hair to a nourishing mask or treatment.
Who Will Be Most Affected by February’s Full Moon?
This time of the Full Moon is a time of harvest: you reap what you sow. Those born under the signs of Leo and Aquarius will feel its effects most strongly, as will Taurus and Scorpio. Because this Full Moon occurs at 13° Leo, within the second decan of this fire sign, it will also impact other fire signs – Aries and Sagittarius – particularly those born in the middle ten days of their respective signs.
Due to their sensitivity and intuition, those born under the signs of Pisces and Cancer will also feel the Full Moon’s influence. Individuals with a strong emphasis on 13° Leo or Aquarius in their birth charts, or those born during a Full Moon, may also be particularly affected.
