Full Snow Moon in Leo 2026: Last Chance to Release & Align

Full Snow Moon in Leo, this Sunday February 1st, 2026: Your Last Clear Opportunity to Release

This Sunday’s full moon isn’t just another moon - it’s a spotlight on you, on the thoughts, feelings, and patterns that keep returning so you can finally release them. If something keeps showing up in your mind, it’s not random. It’s a sign this is your last clear opportunity to release it before momentum locks it in.

This full moon also lands at a natural threshold point in the year - between the Winter Solstice and the Fall Equinox - a moment known in ancient traditions as Imbolc, a time of beginnings, purification, and preparation for growth. In Ireland, this day is celebrated as St. Brigid’s Day, honoring the goddess of hearth, inspiration, and new life.

Even in modern times, it’s remembered as Groundhog Day, a marker of cycles and the subtle shifts that tell us when it’s time to step forward.

All of this layers beautifully under the Full Snow Moon in Leo: a time to shine light on what’s ready to be released so that new growth can take root. The symbolism of this day reminds us that endings and beginnings often come hand-in-hand - and that paying attention to the signals around you can help you move with clarity instead of force.

Neptune has just shifted from dreamy Pisces into take-charge Aries, and suddenly your intuition is quietly asking: are you ready to trust it and move? That’s your intuition saying: ‘It’s time.’ This full moon is your cosmic green light to listen - and then act. Aligning with your intuition now, especially with supportive tools like crystals, can make release effortless and transformative Neptune's shift is a big part of this whole new era and will remain in Aries until 2039!

Saturn will be moving direct in Aries, firmly in its new 29 year karmic cycle, just a few days before we charge into the Year of the Fire Horse. This is a powerful alignment a reminder that what you release now matters. What you carry forward will shape the momentum of your next chapter. This isn’t about pressure or fear; it’s about clarity, choice, and stepping into your power with confidence. This planet of karma will remain in Aries until part way through 2028, so the first full 2 years of this new cycle!

This full moon is extra significant because it’s the last full moon in the Year of the Snake, a cycle that naturally encouraged you to shed what no longer serves you. And all of this is happening during a one-year energy in the Year of the Fire Horse - fast, bold, and unapologetic. Whatever you release now will be amplified and carried forward, setting the tone for your next chapter. The good news? The energy will reward decisiveness, courage, and self-trust.

With Saturn moving direct in Aries and the Year of the Fire Horse approaching, what you release now doesn’t just disappear - it sets the tone for the next chapter. This is your last clear window to shed what’s holding you back before momentum locks it in.

So here’s what matters this full moon: pay attention to what keeps coming back in your thoughts. Ask yourself: what am I ready to release - for real, not just in theory? Write it down. Feel it. Breathe through it. Take one small, intentional action in the physical to release it: snap your fingers, stamp your feet, envision you are wrapping the issue in light and releasing it to your higher power or the universe.

If you only have a minute today, try this: write down the one thought, habit, or pattern that keeps looping in your mind. Tear it up, toss it, or crumple it in your hands - and say out loud: ‘I release this now.’ Even this small action signals your body and mind that it’s time to let go.

When I find I have that looping issue coming up and slapping me in the face, here is my favourite ritual that I like to complete just after the full moon:

• Sit with my crystals for this full moon (see my blog this weekend for this month's suggested crystals) with the full moon in sight and reflect on what I want to release - often times you don't have to even think about it as it's a reoccuring issue, thought, habit etc. but I still like to sit with the moon in the silence for a moment first, protect and connect

• write out whatever the issue, habit or reoccuring thought pattern that needs to be released in a letter - to yourself or to whomever involved in the trauma that needs to be release if that is the case. Write as many letters as you need to release - I personally like to use a seperate piece of paper for each issue I am releasing. Each letter is a step toward reclaiming your energy and your peace.

• fold the letter away from you and to the left - repeat as many times as resonates. I like to do this 3 times.

• Go outside to the fire pit or use a fire safe container inside and light the letter on fire, focus on releasing as you watch the flames clean away this issue for you,

• Release the ashes once cooled to the universe - if you did this outside, Mother Nature will take care of this for you.

Hydrate. Rest. Connect with your body. Notice how your energy shifts when you honor this release. That clarity, calm, and alignment? That’s what guides you into the next phase of your life, lighter, stronger, and fully supported by your intuition.

This is your invitation: to step into yourself fully, release what’s ready to go, and trust the wisdom that’s already within you. The path to inner peace and empowered clarity isn’t somewhere far away - it’s right here, waiting for you to claim it.
