It is February. Imbolc, the halfway point between Winter and Spring. A full snow moon. A nearing of a shift from year of the snake to year of the fire horse. A small marking of a turning point, of shifts being available, of change being inevitable. I’m soaking in any and all reminders that there is movement happening. Looking to nature as a teacher of this, of all the ways change can bring about more life, feels like comfort and solid ground to stand on while so much wobbles. May the shift of month, of season, of cycle, be something to turn to when you feel stuck or stagnant. May the remembrance of change being certain allow you to lean into what is asking to be moved, shedded, released, and watered. May you water what you long for instead of what is asking to die.

Just as the Cold Moon marked deep winter, the Snow Moon marks endurance,

one final stretch before the earth softens again.

Traditionally, the Snow Moon symbolised patience, resilience,

and the slow, quiet preparation for spring.

Endurance – moving steadily through challenging seasons

Clarity – winter stripping things back to what truly matters

Renewal – the subtle beginnings of new energy forming beneath the surface

Trust – believing in cycles even when progress is hidden

In simple terms, the Snow Moon reminds us that not all growth is visible.

Sometimes the most important changes happen quietly, beneath the snow.

Spiritually, the Snow Moon is linked with patience, renewal, deep rest, and clarity.

Winter’s stillness can feel stark, but it also helps us see what matters,

and what doesn’t.

This full moon encourages us to slow down, conserve our energy,

and prepare internally for the new cycle ahead.

Just as the first green shoots form unseen beneath frozen ground, the

Snow Moon reminds us that renewal is already beginning, even if we can’t yet see it.

The Snow Moon invites gentle reflection:

Where can you soften your grip?

Where can you let stillness support you?

Where might rest be the medicine you’ve been avoiding?

Just as the land rests beneath its snowy blanket, we too are allowed to pause.

This moon is about resilience, yes, but also about gentleness.

Knowing you don’t have to push to be moving forward.
