Embracing the Love and Light of the Snow Full Moon

As we approach the midpoint of February, the universe gifts us with a beautiful celestial event - the second full moon of the year, lovingly known as the Snow Moon. This lunar wonder arrives just in time to illuminate our Valentine's Day celebrations, reminding us of the importance of love, compassion, and connection.

On February 12th, at 8:53 AM EST, the Snow Moon will reach its peak illumination, although it will be below the horizon at this time. To witness its breathtaking beauty, look to the eastern sky around sunset on February 11th or 12th, as it rises above the horizon. The Moon will reach its highest point in the sky around midnight, bathing the world in its silvery light.

This month, we're also treated to a spectacular view of Venus, the planet of love, as it shines at its brightest. According to NASA, February is the perfect time to spot this celestial beauty, reminding us of the power of love and relationships in our lives.

The Snow Moon, also known as the Storm Moon or Hungry Moon, is a poignant reminder of the cycles of nature and the importance of self-care during the colder months. As we bask in the light of this full moon, let us take a moment to reflect on our own relationships, with ourselves, others, and the natural world. May the love and light of the Snow Moon guide us on our journey towards greater compassion, understanding, and connection.
