A snow moon is the last full moon of winter, and it typically takes place in February, which is why it's associated with the winter precipitation.

The second full moon of 2024, the Snow Moon of February, wowed skywatchers around the world with a dazzling display last night. February's full moon rose on Wednesday (Feb. 12) and remained high in the sky for most of the night before finally setting with the morning sun.

The final full moon of the astrological year (since astro New Year begins on 20 March) – or the 2025 Snow Moon– lands in Leo on 12 February. A full moon in Leo focuses attention on on our true selves. It's the perfect time to look deep inside yourself and reconnect with what truly matters to you.
