Snow Moon in Leo - 2025
February 12th, Snow Moon in Leo - Come out, come out, wherever you are... Ready to let your inner best version shine?
This February’s Full Moon in Leo is here to turn up the heat, sprinkle some cosmic confidence, and remind you just how brightly you’re meant to glow.
On February 12, 2025, the night sky will illuminate with the bold energy of the full moon. Also known as the Snow Moon, this lunar event invites us to step into our power, celebrate our uniqueness, and let our inner light shine. While February’s full moon traditionally marks a time of reflection during the colder months, Leo’s fiery influence brings warmth, creativity, and passion to the forefront.
The Snow Moon earned its name from the heavy snowfall typically seen during February in the Northern Hemisphere. But beyond the weather, this moon symbolizes a time of purity and clarity, clearing away the old to make room for new growth. Combined with Leo’s bold, self-expressive energy, this Full Moon encourages us to embrace who we are, unapologetically *snaps fingers*.
Themes of this full moon
This Full Moon will highlight themes of self-expression, confidence, and personal power. You may feel a surge of passion, creativity, and the desire to be seen and heard. Leo is the sign of the performer, so it’s a great time to put yourself out there—whether that means sharing your art, speaking your truth, or simply allowing your authentic self to shine. Or, why don’t you start that business while you’re at it? Remember, that idea in the back of your mind?
However, Leo’s energy also brings a heightened sensitivity to validation. You might notice yourself craving recognition or approval from others. This is a powerful opportunity to turn inward and ask: Am I valuing myself, even without external praise? And darling, if the answer is no—it’s time to sprinkle a little extra love on yourself.
What to expect
Heightened creativity: You might feel more inspired to create, whether through art, writing, music, or other forms of expression.
Emotional intensity: With the Full Moon amplifying Leo’s fiery emotions, be prepared for passionate conversations and a need to be heard.
Focus on relationships: The desire for recognition could extend to your relationships—it’s a good time to reflect on whether you’re receiving (and giving) the appreciation you deserve. (Psst...maybe drop a little extra love note to yourself, too!)
Increased confidence: You may feel more self-assured and ready to step into the spotlight, whether literally or metaphorically. And yes, queen, that spotlight looks good on you.
Rituals for that moon energy
Creative expression ritual: Set aside time to engage in your favorite creative activity. Paint, write, dance, or sing—anything that allows you to express yourself authentically. Get messy, get bold, and don’t hold back!
Candle meditation: Light a candle to symbolize your inner fire. Sit in silence, focusing on the flame, and visualize your strengths and talents radiating outward. The cold never bothered you anywayyyyyy.
Gratitude practice: Write down five things you’re proud of—big or small. Celebrate your achievements and acknowledge how far you’ve come. You’re doing better than you think, promise.
Movement & dance: Move your body to release pent-up energy. Dancing freely can help you connect to Leo’s playful, vibrant spirit. Put on your favorite song and let loose—bonus points if you’re dancing in your pajamas!
Mirror affirmations: Stand in front of a mirror and speak affirmations out loud. Remind yourself of your worth, beauty, and unique gifts. Wink at yourself for that extra boost.

Leo’s sassy influence on the body
Leo rules the heart, spine, and upper back. During this Full Moon, you may feel called to focus on these areas—both physically and emotionally. Pay attention to how you hold your posture, as well as how you ‘hold’ your emotions. (Slouching? Nope, not today!). And yes, this might be an indirect invitation for a twerk ;)
Self-care tips:
Practice heart-centered activities, like expressing love and gratitude to those around you.
Maintain good posture to support your spine and upper back. Shoulders back, chin up—you’re royalty.
Engage in activities that make your heart feel light and joyful. Think: belly laughs, heart-to-hearts, and maybe even a little karaoke.
Yoga poses to include in your practice this week:
Camel pose (Ustrasana): A deep heart opener that encourages vulnerability and courage.
Upward-facing dog (Urdhva Mukha Svanasana): Opens the chest and strengthens the spine.
Bridge pose (Setu Bandhasana): Gently lifts the heart and helps release tension in the upper back.
Cat-cow stretch (Marjaryasana-Bitilasana): Warms up the spine and connects breath with movement, releasing stored tension. Perfect for shaking off that winter stiffness.
What I’m trying to say is…
The Full Moon in Leo is a powerful reminder to step into the spotlight of your own life. This isn’t about arrogance or ego—it’s about recognizing your inherent worth and allowing yourself to shine authentically. Use this time to celebrate who you are, honor your journey, and boldly embrace the future with an open heart.
And with Valentine’s Day just around the corner, what better time to start with the most important relationship of all—the one with yourself? Whether you're sharing the love with someone special or practicing a little self-love, let this Full Moon in Leo be your invitation to radiate warmth and confidence from the inside out. Pro tip: chocolate is always a good idea, solo or not.
So light a candle, dance like no one’s watching, and let your heart lead the way. The world needs your light. And hey, if you’re feeling extra radiant, snap a pic and tag @AmapolaHealing on Instagram—I would love to celebrate you!
