Full Moon Peak Sunday, February 1, 2026, at 509 PM ET / 209 PM PT
Astrological Sign Leo (13°03′)
Traditional Name Snow Moon
The first full moon of February 2026 arrives with unique timing and potent energy. Not only does it fall on the very first day of the month, but it also coincides with Imbolc, the Celtic festival marking the midpoint between winter solstice and spring equinox. This convergence creates a powerful portal – winter’s contemplative stillness meeting Leo’s bold, fiery expression.
This isn’t your typical quiet winter moon. The Snow Moon in Leo asks you to find your inner fire even when the world outside is frozen, to remember your light when everything feels dormant, and to prepare to step into visibility as spring approaches.
