The Snow Moon at 13º Leo

February 1, 2026 | 5:09 PM EST (10:09 PM GMT)
A Full Moon of Heart, Creative Fire & Soul-Level Permission

The February Full Moon—traditionally called the Snow Moon—arrives wrapped in winter stillness and lunar brightness, asking us to slow down, feel deeply, and listen honestly to what the heart has been whispering.

This year, the Full Moon lights up Leo, the sign of creative fire, devotion to self-expression, and courageous love. Leo does not ask for perfection. Leo asks for presence. For authenticity. For the bravery to be seen as you are.

This lunation opens a potent doorway for:

• Releasing emotional residue you’ve been carrying out of habit

• Reclaiming joy, desire, and creative spark

• Letting your heart take up more space in your life

• Celebrating who you are becoming

Not in a performative way.
In a true way.

This is a moon of heart remembrance.

Snow Moon Medicine: Quiet Power

February’s Snow Moon reflects the wisdom of winter: growth happens even when nothing appears to be happening.

Beneath frozen ground, roots are strengthening.

Within you, something has been reorganizing.

You may notice:

• Old emotional patterns surfacing

• A desire to simplify relationships or commitments

• A craving for beauty, play, or creative expression

• A deeper awareness of what no longer feels aligned

None of this is random.

It’s your system preparing to make space.

Leo Full Moon Themes: Heart-Led Living

Leo governs:

• The heart and spine

• Creativity and play

• Self-worth and self-trust

• The courage to be visible

Under this Full Moon, emotional truths may rise to the surface—not to overwhelm you, but to liberate you.

Ask gently:

• Where have I been dimming my light?

• What wants to be expressed that I’ve been holding back?

• What does my heart desire now—not last year, not five years ago, but now?

Let the answers be simple.

Let them be honest.

Full Moon Ceremony

Releasing Old Emotions & Welcoming New Beginnings

You don’t need anything elaborate.
Presence is the magic.

You’ll Need

• One candle (white, gold, or pink)

• A small bowl of water

• Paper and pen

• A quiet space

1) Create Sacred Space (5 minutes)

Light your candle.
Place the bowl of water beside it.

Take three slow breaths.

On each exhale, imagine tension draining from your body.

Silently or aloud:

“I open a clear and gentle space for release, truth, and renewal.”

2) Name What You’re Ready to Release

On your paper, write:

• Emotions you’ve outgrown

• Patterns that feel heavy

• Beliefs about yourself that no longer fit

Examples:

• “I release the need to prove my worth.”

• “I release fear of being seen.”

• “I release resentment I no longer wish to carry.”

Let it be honest. Let it be unpolished.

3) Water Release

Hold the paper over the bowl of water.

Say:

“I honor what these experiences taught me.
I release their charge from my body, my heart, and my field.”

Tear the paper into small pieces and place them into the water.

Watch the ink soften.

This symbolizes emotional energy dissolving.

4) Embrace the Space

Place one hand on your heart.

Feel the openness created by release.

Say:

“I welcome new beginnings aligned with my heart’s truth.
I allow joy, creativity, and authentic expression to flow through me.”

Sit quietly for a few moments.

Notice any sensations, images, or feelings.

5) Seal the Ceremony

Blow out the candle.

Later, pour the water outside or down the drain with gratitude.

Integration After the Moon

Over the next few days, support what you’ve opened:

• Drink extra water

• Spend time with art, music, or beauty

• Journal any insights that arise

• Choose one small action that honors your heart

Small actions compound into big shifts.

Final Reflection

This Snow Moon isn’t asking you to become someone new.

It’s inviting you to return to who you’ve always been beneath the noise.

Your heart already knows the way.

Let it lead.
