February Full Moon In Leo 2025: What It Means For Your Sign

As we wade through the early months of the year, every astrological event presents an opportunity to recalibrate and refocus on our goals. One of the biggest lunar moments is upon us—the February Full Moon in Leo, also known as the Snow Moon.

Arriving just in time for Valentine’s Day, this full moon is infused with passion, confidence, and a touch of drama. Here’s everything you need to know to harness its energy and make the most of its celestial magic.

When Is The February Full Moon In Leo?

The February Full Moon reaches its peak on February 13 at 12:35 am AEDT. This means it will appear full on both the evenings of February 12 and 13, providing two nights to soak up its glow.

Taking place in the fiery and theatrical sign of Leo, this moon is about stepping into your power, owning your desires, and embracing a sense of confidence.

Why Is It Called The Snow Moon?

The February full moon is traditionally known as the Snow Moon because it falls during the snowiest time of the year in the Northern Hemisphere.

In Australia, snow may not be on the radar, but the season is marked by high humidity, bursts of rain, and golden sunshine. If the warm weather has been interfering with sleep, take it as a sign—you might just stay up late enough to witness this full moon in all its glory.

The Spiritual Meaning Of The Full Snow Moon In Leo

Leo is ruled by the Sun, which governs energy, creativity, and vitality. It is also associated with the heart, meaning this moon is about connecting with true desires and pursuing them with fearless enthusiasm.

Leos are known for their passion, playfulness, flair for the dramatic and, yes, occasional bouts of egotism. This full moon invites all signs to tap into their most vibrant, unapologetic selves. If you’ve been feeling stuck in a rut, expect a desire to indulge in your guilty pleasures —you might feel inspired to take a spontaneous trip, hit up a questionable old flame, or simply bail on a social obligation to spend the night curled up with a tub of Messina and a good book.

With Valentine’s Day approaching, this moon amplifies themes of romance and desire. Whether embracing grand gestures or focusing on self-love, lean into what feels right. At the same time, be mindful of ego-driven impulses. Leo energy can make external validation feel more necessary than usual, so take a moment to reflect before making emotionally charged decisions. A misjudged Valentine’s Day Gift (or, horror, a new partner who doesn’t celebrate the day at all) doesn’t need to spell the end of a relationship.

What Does The February Full Moon Mean For Your Star Sign?

Keep in mind that depending on your star sign, a full moon in Leo could bring out your best, and worst traits. The full moon in Leo coincides with the sun, mercury and Pluto in rebellious Aquarius which can further inflame Leo’s me, me, me energy and naturally obstinate streak. A strategic approach will be required to navigate this period so watch for the way expansive Leo could impact your life.

Water Signs:

Leos are naturally generous but if you’re a water sign, this could translate to over extending yourself towards the end of February as you try to give everyone what they want. Ensure you harness some of the loving energy to take care of yourself.

Fire Signs:

Alternately, for more self focused and passion driven fire signs, check yourself before you wreck yourself. Knowing what you want is a good thing but be wary of looking for (or demanding) external validation or making decisions based on your ego. You’ll be more emotional and reactive during this period, but you’ll also have a tonne of energy so mindfully make the most of it.

Earth Signs:

As a fixed sign Leo is arguably the earthiest of the fire signs. If you’re an earth sign ensure you don’t let Leo’s single mindedness and craving for praise and power cloud your judgement at work. Occasionally, colleagues will be too distracted to acknowledge your hard work and insights, that doesn’t mean they don’t see or appreciate them.

Air Signs:

As said, the full moon in Leo will highlight our need for pleasure and excitement. If you’re an air sign you already crave stimulation so make sure this adventurous Leo energy doesn’t prove totally distracting.

How To Make The Most Of The Full Moon In Leo

The Leo-Aquarius axis is in full force this month, with the Sun, Mercury, and Pluto all in rebellious Aquarius. This combination stirs up restless, dramatic, and sometimes stubborn energy.

This is the time to follow your instincts and reflect on what you truly want. Speak honestly, embrace self-expression, and celebrate personal achievements. However, avoid unnecessary drama, as emotions will be heightened and impulsivity may lead to regret. Fully embracing Leo’s confidence can be empowering, but self-awareness is key to navigating this period wisely.

The best way you can make the most of the full moon in Leo is to use it to get in touch with your instincts – what does your heart really want? Then, use the sign’s energy and vitality to help you reach them. 

What Does A Full Moon Mean In Astrology?

Each month, the full moon marks the culmination of the lunar cycle, a time of heightened emotions, clarity, and transformation. Astrologically, it represents a moment of revelation, decision-making, and energetic shifts.

This is a powerful time to release what no longer serves you, bring projects or relationships to a close, gain clarity on personal and professional goals, and manifest new beginnings. Every full moon also amplifies the characteristics of the sign it falls in. This month, that sign is Leo, the ruler of self-expression, romance, and courage. Expect this moon to awaken a bold, confident energy—whether that means having an honest conversation, making a dramatic but necessary exit, or fully indulging in life’s pleasures.

When Is The Next Full Moon?

The next full moon arrives in practical, detail-oriented Virgo in February 2025, bringing an opportunity to refine plans and create order. Until then, embrace the bold, magnetic energy of the Leo full moon and let it guide you forward.
