🔥 Full Moon in Leo: Releasing, Radiating, & Rising Under the Snow Moon 🔥

🌕✨ Friend, grab your tea (or wine) ya know, whatever beverage of your choice, light a candle, and let’s chat about this upcoming Snow Moon in Leo because WOW—she’s got a LOT to say.

This isn’t just any Full Moon. It’s a bold, fiery, heart-centered lunation that’s practically begging us to step into our confidence, embrace creativity, and release whatever’s been dimming our light. And honestly? I think we’re ready.

So, let’s break this down like we’re sitting around a cozy fire, chatting about why this Full Moon is a big deal, what it’s activating in our lives, and how we can harness its magic to step fully into our power.

First, let’s talk seasonal vibes. February’s Snow Moon got its name because, well—historically, this was the month of deep snow and survival. In the old days, people gathered around fires, tending to their inner world, dreaming of spring, and making plans for the future. 

And that’s exactly what we’re being called to do now. Except this time, instead of just waiting for the thaw, we’re melting away self-doubt, creative fears, and anything holding us back from living BIG.

Because, friends, this is a LEO FULL MOON—and Leo does not play small.

🔥 ❄️ Fire & Ice Ritual: Releasing & Calling In Your Power

If you attended our Snow Moon gathering we did a variation of this ritual and you received a carnelian along with quartz and moonstone in your pouches but for everyone at home this is really easy to do and set up. Okay, let’s get practical. Here’s a simple but POWERFUL ritual you can do alone or with your soul fam:

🕯️Set the Mood...Remember It's FebYOUary and Sacred Space is Self Care

• Light a gold, orange, or red candle (Leo loves warm, fiery colors!).
  
  

• Play upbeat music to awaken your inner fire, then dance, dance, dance :)
  
  

This ritual is all about letting go of what dims your light and calling in growth with patience and trust. Think of it as Leo’s fire meeting winter’s stillness.

🔥 Part 1: The Releasing Ceremony (Fire)

What you’ll need:

• Small strips of paper
  
  

• A fireproof bowl or cauldron
  
  

• Matches or a candle
  
  

1️⃣ Take a deep breath. Ask yourself: What is dimming my fire?

• Write down fears, blocks, self-doubts, or habits that need to be released.
  
  

• Be honest. Be raw. Let it all out.
  
  

2️⃣ One by one, read each one aloud (if comfortable) and burn it in the fire.

• As the flames consume the paper, imagine that weight lifting from your soul.
  
  

• Let. It. Go.
  
  

3️⃣ Take a moment. Feel lighter. Breathe into the space you’ve just created.

❄️ Part 2: The Calling In Ceremony (Ice)

What you’ll need:

• Small slips of biodegradable paper
  
  

• Markers or pens
  
  

• A bowl filled with ice or fresh snow
  
  

1️⃣ Now that you’ve made space, ask yourself: What do I want to grow?

• Write down intentions, affirmations, or goals for the months ahead.
  
  

• Think of seeds—things that need time to root and grow.
  
  

2️⃣ Fold your paper and place it in the bowl of ice or snow.

• Visualize these intentions taking root, slowly, patiently.
  
  

• Just like winter holds the seeds of spring, your dreams are germinating beneath the surface.
  
  

3️⃣ Leave the bowl outside overnight under the Full Moon or until the ice melts naturally.

• When the water absorbs into the earth, your intentions are being planted.
  
  

• Trust the timing of your own becoming.
  
  

🌕 Leo Full Moon Reflections

Friend, this Leo Full Moon isn’t just about stepping into your power—it’s about balancing fire and stillness, creativity and rest, boldness and patience.

Because, let’s be real—winter asks us to slow down. The world outside is quiet, frozen, tucked into deep stillness. Ideally. But deep within us? Our inner fire still burns, waiting for the right moment to rise.

So the real question is:
👉 How do we honor that fire while embracing winter’s quiet?
👉 What creative spark is glowing within, even when life feels slow, crazy, overwhelming, etc?

This Full Moon invites us to reflect, release, and realign with what lights us up—without rushing the process. Because sometimes, the most powerful transformations happen in the stillness. Yep, we are gonna tell ya now is the time to JOURNAL!

🔥 Full Moon Journal Prompts: Reflection & Illumination

Pick up the pen, those art pens you've been forgetting to use- ya know the colorful ones that make you feel like a kid and grab your favorite journal. Take a moment. Light a candle. Pour some tea. Let your thoughts flow under the glow of this bold, heart-centered Full Moon. Pour it out-pen to paper, the messy streams of your heart and mind as they flow onto the paper through the words you have held inside.

🌟 What lights your inner fire during times of stillness?
(What passions, dreams, or ideas keep flickering even in your quietest moments?)

🎨 How can you honor your creativity while embracing winter’s rest?
(Where can you allow inspiration without forcing action? How can creativity feel nourishing, not exhausting?)

💡 What aspects of your authentic self need to shine brighter this year?
(Where have you been holding back? What parts of you are ready to be seen?)

🦁 Where do you feel called to nurture courage in your life?
(What fears have been whispering in your ear? Where do you need to stand taller, speak louder, believe bigger?)

🌞 What is one goal or project that aligns with your inner light?
(What’s calling you forward? What’s ready to be nurtured and fully expressed?)

💖 Final Thoughts: Owning Your Inner Fire-You Are Meant to Shine

This Full Moon isn’t asking you to be anyone other than yourself.
It’s not about playing small or hiding in the shadows.
It’s about standing in your light, stepping into your power, and embracing the fullness of who you are.

So, friend, you beautiful soul you, what are you ready to release? What are you calling in? 

Remember Leo teaches us to stand tall, to shine, to create fearlessly. But winter reminds us that there is power in patience, in slow-burning embers, in waiting for the right moment to rise.

This Full Moon, let yourself release what no longer serves you and call in the magic of slow, radiant growth.

With Gratitude, Love and Magic -Shine on my friend.
