The Snow Moon rises today, glowing bright against the muted light of late winter.

For generations, people knew February’s full moon as the Snow Moon. It marked the coldest stretch of winter, a time of survival, patience, and quiet strength.

The name carries both starkness and hope: a reminder that even when the world feels still and silent, the earliest signs of new life are gathering beneath the surface.

Traditionally, the Snow Moon symbolised patience, resilience, and the slow, quiet preparation for spring.

Endurance – moving steadily through challenging seasons
Clarity – winter stripping things back to what truly matters
Renewal – the subtle beginnings of new energy forming beneath the surface
Trust – believing in cycles even when progress is hidden

Winter’s stillness can feel stark, but it also helps us see what matters, and what doesn’t. This full moon encourages us to slow down, conserve our energy, and prepare internally for the new cycle ahead.

The Snow Moon invites gentle reflection:

Where can you soften your grip?
Where can you let stillness support you?
Where might rest be the medicine you’ve been avoiding?
