Why is it called a snow moon?
The full moon that occurs in February is referred to as the snow moon because the heaviest snow fall in North America usually occurs during this month. Harsh weather conditions of freezing temperatures, strong winds and heavy snowfall made hunting in these areas very difficult.
Meaning
The Snow Moon is symbolic of purity, renewal, and the potential for new beginnings.
It can be associated with fulfillment, energy and the manifestation of great personal desires. It embodies a time of endurance, conservation, and anticipation of the renewal of spring.

2 - Plant New Seeds

Mentally follow through your plans in advance to identify potential roadblocks to address ahead of time.
4 - Inner Awakening
Winter’s outer stillness can provide the perfect container to look inside you to explore what desires, needs and dreams are beginning to awaken in you.
