What the Snow Moon Is 

& What It Means February 1st, 2026

The Snow Moon is the traditional name for the full moon in February, especially in the Northern Hemisphere, where this month often brings heavy snowfall. It earned its name because February has historically been one of the snowiest months of the year in places like North America.

In 2026, the Snow Moon reaches its peak illumination at about 5:09 PM EST on February 1st, presenting its luminous presence in the night sky for all who take a moment to watch.

In the stillness of winter, when landscapes lie quiet beneath blankets of snow and the world seems hushed, this full moon becomes a mirror for our inner state. Like snow that both covers and protects the earth, the Snow Moon encourages us to gently let go of what no longer serves and to make space for clarity, renewal, and intention.

Aligned with the traditions of Know Your Sensitivity Holistic Wellness, this moon offers an opportunity to honor your emotions, cultivate calm, and embrace the restorative quiet that precedes new beginnings.

And remember "Like snow that blankets the earth, I welcome clarity, peace, and renewal into my heart.”
