The Full Moon in Leo AKA the Snow moon in the Northern Hemisphere on February 1st, 2026 opposes half of the planets in our solar system. It falls at 13° 3’ in the Noble, Regal, magnanimous and dynamic Fire sign of Leo at 2:09 PM Pacific time ! It brings with it a major Celestial lineup. Sun in Aquarius will oppose this Snow Moon in Leo as will Mercury, Venus, Mars AND Pluto all now transiting the Sign of the Future; The Water Bearer.
In a spiritual context the Full Moon of February 2026 is All about wrapping up, finishing preparations and projects, preparing for Major Change and patiently waiting for some long overdue good news !
The February 2026 Full Moon is the final moon phase before the next eclipse cycle begins. For that reason this is NOT the right time for buying into any business or professional uncertainties, any unwarranted /unnecessary outlay of capital, or taking on unstable or risky new ventures. Do what must be done to cut losses, walk away from unprofitable or unsustainable business models and draw a line regarding the past ;Now get ready for a New Beginning : a Fresh Start because remember Aquarius is that line from the old play Annie : “tomorrow tomorrow. I love you tomorrow. You’re always a day away!”
The Full Moon is dominated by opposition aspects. This is not necessarily a negative because these aspects are well suited to a Full Moon. Be apprised that it is always an opposition of sun to moon, meaning that the sun is always in the opposite sign of the moon phase we experience during a full moon. This is the classic door opening, harbinger, or ushering in of a new cycle.
This magnificent and emotional, sexy, oftentimes romantic Leo Lunation is the final Full Moon phase before a new Saros eclipse cycle that begins with the February 17th Chinese New Year Solar Eclipse in Aquarius. Two days from tomorrow, on February 3rd, Uranus, Aquarius’ ruler will turn direct in Taurus for the last time in our lifetime as it marches towards its ingress into Gemini for the first time in almost 100 years on April 25. This is profoundly momentous, powerful, inexorable, inescapable, and ultimately incredibly inspiring and beneficial.
Full Moon Keywords are PATIENCE AND PERSEVERANCE
Several powerful Fixed stars are in the mix as well. Fixed Star Kochab AKA BETA URSAE MINORIS is a second magnitude single star on the hip of the Little Bear Constellation. Kochab is a Mars-like star that gives energy, initiative, courage and daring. Beware though of hasty, not thought through or rash actions as they bring a significant risk of loss and self-destructive results
As the ancient astrology of lunar mansion* warns, “ auspicious activity should be postponed “ Use your energy to tie up loose ends, deal with the fine points of contractual obligations, clean up, then finalize, and most of all get your ducks in a row and your own house in order. Use your determination and courage to face those things you fear head on, with the understanding that all must be done so that we can walk away from the past and move towards the future, which is what Aquarius is always and for Ever all about!
*Lunar mansions are segments of the Moon’s orbit that various cultures have used in astrology to track the Moon’s position and its influence on events. In Indian astrology, they are known as nakshatras, while in Arabic astrology, they are referred to as manzils, with each mansion associated with specific characteristics and meanings. Kochab forms with γ UMi AKA PHERKAD a small asterism ( a pattern of stars in the night sky not really recognized as a constellation )called, in ancient astrological lore “the Guardians of the North a.k.a. the Pole Star and is very important in regards to the ongoing magnetic pole shift, which is affecting the planet right now
In Mesopotamia, this star was MARGIDDA ANNA “The Celestial Chariot.”
It is associated with the goddess Damkina, the equivalent of the Sumerian DAMGALNUNNA literally “the Wife of the Great Prince,” or NINKI, AKA “Lady Earth.”
It appears in the ENUMA ELISH the Sumerian Epic of Creation, compiled and arranged probably more than 5,000 years ago sometime after the Last Magnetic Pole Shift
This portentous Full Moon, being in the constellation of the Greater Bear AKA Ursa Major, is PARTICULARLY DANGEROUS OR INJURIOUS TO THE AFFAIRS OF NATIONS AND KINGS…OR THOSE WHO WOULD BE KING“
The Natal Chart of Israel has Pluto conjunct Kochab (0°04′). The Prime Minister of Italy, Giorgia Meloni, has Kochab conjunct Her Ascendant (0°17′) and Saturn (1°47′). Kochab represents the Emperor in Chinese astronomy, so it could by association be the continuation of Chinese Government unrest and the appearance of an attempted coup affecting Xi Jinping.
As we can see, it will be anything but dull so it’s a powerful full moon visible across all of North America and the northern hemisphere, especially with what little snow we have here Out West, yet so much in the East and Russia. It is also a significant indicator of powerful and momentous change on the Transpersonal ( Aquarius) World ( Leo ) Stage. Let’s hope for the best whilst preparing for the worst ! Gird your loins as NOTHING Leo does is anything less than Exceptional and Dramatic….KIRI SHU GAL ( an ancient Sumerian greeting symbolize by the hands placed over the heart)
