STORM MOON: SNOW MOON

FULL MOON IN LEO

FEBRUARY 7TH

 

Every 29.5 days the moon opposites the sun and through the sun rays it resembles a perfect lamination disk. But the full moon was also used for scheduling and keeping track of time. According to ancient writings the full moon helped the natives keep track of earth’s behavior pattern from weather to animal behavior. To signify when it was time to gather, hunt, fish and enjoy.

The first full moon in February is known as the “Storm Moon or Snow moon” this was a time when the weather was its worst. Thus causing hunters and gathers to feel difficult to move around to hunter and gather materials for the spring. This is often true today. The weather patterns which have occurred in the mid west and north east and even south east parts of United States have felt the jolt of the snow and blizzard like conditions in the month of February.

The Moon in Leo may mark a time to organize and the feeling to have a need to dominate family and friends. It marks a time for creativity and entertaining. Like the Lion that symbolizes Leo, there is a greater need to be loved and if it is not shared or given this behavior could create scenes of sulking. Care needs to be taken to avoid melodramatic displays to grab the spotlight or leadership positions. There is an emotional need to shine and be praised by others. Expression of feelings may be in a childlike manner - either playfully or spectacularly. There is a natural tendency to want to be around children or nurturing others by giving honor and encouraging them to be tough, daring and courageous as this is the key of Leo’s strength. There is also a desire to view a mother or a motherly figure to be magnificent, stunning or a prominent person, and to look for independence, warmth and strength in that relationship if it's not there already.

The Leo energy can sometimes cause us to be more narrow-minded, obstinate, pompous, annoyed, pretentious, narcissistic and/or patronizing. It's harder (but not impossible) to make changes or be flexible, since the Moon is the closest 'Planet' to Earth, and this satellite literally zips around the Zodiac, completing its circuit in less than a month. It also touches us more deeply than most Planets. The influence of this full moon can be especially difficult or challenging for those who were born under a full moon phase, as well as for those of the fixed Sun Signs Leo, Scorpio, Aquarius and Taurus.
