February 12th 2025 - The explanation behind February’s full Moon name is a fairly straightforward one: it’s known as the Snow Moon due to the typically heavy snowfall that occurs in February. On average, February is the United States’ snowiest month, according to data from the National Weather Service.

The fiery, passionate, and bold energies of the Leo Full Moon will reach their peak on February 12th. As the Full Moon rests bright in the sky, we may feel a spark ignited within us; we may feel a sense of courage to take on challenges, changes, and everything in between.

The Leo Full Moon holds some erratic energy, but this is not necessarily a bad thing. Perhaps we need a shake-up. Perhaps we need to look at things from a different vantage point. As the poet Rumi once shared- ‘Do not worry that your life is turning upside down. How do you know the side you are used to is better than the one to come?’ And that feels to be the motto of this Full Moon.

Change is in the air, and perhaps some instability too, but we are being called to step into our power, find our courage, and stand proud in what we know to be true in our hearts. We are being called to trust ourselves and to listen to our inner wisdom. The truer we are to ourselves, the easier time we will have working with this Full Moon energy.
