What February 2025's Full Moon In Leo Means For Your Sign

February's full moon is upon us! Taking place in fire sign of Leo, this lunation brings a fierce energy, pushing us to walk to the beat of our own drums.

February's full moon is nicknamed the Snow Moon, which received its name from the heavy snowfall in much of North America during this time.

According to astrologist and spiritual counselor Letao Wang, this lunation “is a radiant and transformative moment, calling us to embrace our inner fire and authenticity."

"Full Moons are all about culmination, release, and emotional clarity, and in bold, creative Leo, this one encourages us to step into our power, celebrate our uniqueness, and let go of self-doubt. It’s a time to honor what makes you you and align with your heart’s true desires,” Wang says.

Wang adds that we should “lean into your courage, creativity, and curiosity. Trust that even in uncertainty, you’re being guided toward your brightest, boldest self. This full moon is your moment to rise, rebel, and shine!”

Here's what to know.

When is February's full moon?

The full moon will peak Wednesday, Feb. 12 at 8:53 a.m. ET, according to the Old Farmer's Almanac.

At this point, the moon will be below the horizon, so the Old Farmer's Almanac recommends viewing the night before or the night after its peak. The moon will appear full for about three days.

What is the astrological meaning of February's full moon?

This full moon in Leo brings a bold and transformative energy. Similar to most full moons, this could be an emotional time, calling you to release from patterns which no longer serve you.

Before we dive into how each sign will be impacted by this full moon, let's take a look at what's happening elsewhere in the cosmos.

The full moon creates a T-square — a very fraught astrological aspect — with the communication planet Mercury in Aquarius and revolutionary Uranus in Taurus.

Mercury, in this position, might bring out the truth but in a direct and jarring way. Since the opposition to between Mercury and the Moon is a tense aspect, we might misunderstand situations.

Overall, this a time to define your life with a fresh perspective, which could mean letting go of repressed sentiments. Because we are creatures of comfort, the acts of breaking free from old patterns and acting boldly could bring annoyances along the way. However, once you release the past, you will feel as though anything is possible.

How February's full moon may impact your sign

Aries 

This is a prime time to get your creative juices flowing. Inspiration will come when you least expect it, so it’s best to keep track of your new ideas. By the end of the week, you’ll start making your hopes a reality in tangible form.

Taurus 

A family matter is controlling your life, making you spend more time at home tending to the situation. Emotions might deepen but have faith that open discussions will resolve these issues. In the end, the relationship with your brood will strengthen.

Gemini 

Even though you’re a great communicator, you might find yourself acting out in other ways when a disappointment comes to fruition. Try to revel in the moment and don’t be reactive. Think before you express yourself to ensure you’re saying the right words at the right time.

Cancer 

Your self esteem is at a high after weeks of waffling back and forth between sentiments. The good news is that, due to your confidence, you can make proper decisions that are in line with your heart. Trust your gut for how to proceed. Your intuition is guiding you toward greatness.

Leo

Since the full moon aligns with your sun sign, you might find that everyone is giving you extra attention. While you usually enjoy being in the limelight, this glow-up is making you paranoid with being in the public glare. You may want to close the curtains and be more discreet. 

Virgo 

Simply put, you’re exhausted and need rest. The caveat is that it’s hard to get a minute of peace due to your obligations. In order to relax, you’ll have to schedule it in and stick to the appointment with yourself. As a result, you’ll be able to restore your energy. 

Libra 

A sudden pause or re-emergence of old friends will add surprise to your week. Since your pals are coming out of hibernation, it will be nice to reconnect. Prepare yourself for secrets to be revealed, allowing you to start fresh. Trust that everything will happen in its time. 

Scorpio 

A new position is opening up and you have your eye on it. The caveat is that it might not be in line with your professional history. Although management could have their doubts, you’ll be able to prove them wrong by showing your strengths, perseverance and eagerness to learn.

Sagittarius 

If you’ve been attempting to investigate a topic, you might find yourself more committed to cracking open the books or taking a class. In true form, your mind is longing for stimulation, giving you the encouragement to lean into an interesting new endeavor.

Capricorn 

You’re having a spiritual rebirth of sorts that is helping you transform and become your highest self. Pay attention to the karmic lessons coming your way, as they’ll help you change your personal perspectives to align with modern times.

Aquarius 

Relationships are on the forefront of your mind. Be wise and careful to not give your energy to power struggles. If a friend or significant other is manipulating you to change your opinion or feel sympathy for them, you should confront the situation with kindness.

Pisces

Taking accountability is challenging if you let your ego get in the way. You should take a step back and look at matters for what and how they are rather than what you’d like them to be. A healthy dose of frankness will give you the motivation to make everything better.
