The Full Snow Moon in Leo: February 1, 2026
The Full Snow Moon in Leo occurs on February 1 at 2:09 PM PST and 5:09 PM EST.
This Full Moon sheds light on the good, the bad, and the ugly parts of society. The Moon’s glow asks us to look at the order of things and to shake them up. The only way to ensure that we grow as humans and as a civilization is to use our power to reform and improve. How do we do that? Speaking up, protesting, and not backing down.
The Full Moon in Leo opposes Mars in Aquarius, inciting arguments, disagreements, and frustrations worldwide. The collective is angry, and it's forcing us to take a stand in our own lives to make changes for the community at large. Channeling our anger and energy into an endeavor that promises autonomy and freedom is the best and only way to evoke the spirit of the Full Moon.
The caveat is that we may feel as though our voices are not being taken seriously, forcing us to go to great lengths to be heard. The current Aquarius stellium (the Sun, Mercury, Venus, Mars, and Pluto are in the air sign) isn’t watching from the sidelines, but rather taking action. This isn't a moment to sit idly by, but rather to assert our core values and defy the status quo to transform. Whether it be a political, humanitarian, or economic issue, we must do what is right and necessary to ensure a better future.
Think back to August 4, 2024, to understand how the Full Moon will affect you and the universe. What was going on in your life and in the news then? This lunation completes the cycle begun during the New Moon in Leo on August 4, 2024. The last summer Olympics were then, and the winter sports are beginning this week. The presidential race and global events made headlines that rocked our consciousness. Old business models failed, while new ones began. The evolution of systems and technologies made headlines. Similar themes could emerge that shift our perspectives, so keep your eyes and ears open.
We are now living through a time when planetary transits and political upheaval are echoing one another in disturbing clarity. Mars and Pluto in Aquarius are amplifying the fight for liberation—not just for individuals, but for entire collectives, countries, and marginalized groups.
In the U.S., tensions around the 2026 election season are rising rapidly. Voter suppression, misinformation campaigns, and the rollback of basic rights—including reproductive, immigrant, and LGBTQIA+ protections—are fueling widespread discontent. Across the globe, workers are striking, governments are being challenged, and people are organizing not out of luxury but out of necessity.
This Full Moon lights up Leo’s themes of courage, expression, and visibility, reminding us that passivity is no longer an option. Aquarius calls for future-forward innovation and collective action. We’re not just protesting for symbolism, we’re fighting for survival.
What happens when the fire of Leo meets the rebellion of Aquarius? A demand for heart-centered revolution. For reforms driven not by profit or power, but by dignity, humanity, and hope.
Practical Magic: How to Work with This Full Moon
Light a candle in your name and in the name of someone (or something) you're fighting for.
Write a statement of personal power: What are you unwilling to tolerate anymore? What cause needs your roar?
Donate, organize, or attend a community event: this moon supports bold action.
Use social platforms to speak up (Leo) and network for solutions (Aquarius).
Cut ties with performative activism. This is about sustained action, not optics.
This is a time to remember that you are powerful, even if the systems around you try to convince you otherwise. And when we rise together? That power multiplies.
