The Full Moon in Leo – 16th February 2022<\/h1>\n

A\u00a0Full Moon<\/strong>, that’s out to shake things up, will be shining brightly on Wednesday 16th February<\/strong>\u00a0at\u00a016:56<\/strong>\u00a0GMT and then lighting up the sky for the next three evenings.<\/p>\n

It is also in the astrological sign of Leo<\/b><\/a>, where hot<\/strong> passions run high<\/strong> and the Sun is in the Aquarius<\/strong><\/a> water sign, which allows us to look at what we need to clear out in our lives.<\/p>\n

All that collective past baggage that we want to leave behind. An early spring clean,<\/strong> if you will, not just of letting go<\/strong> of the past but making room<\/strong> for the new!<\/p>\n

Full Moon Names<\/h2>\n

The Native American<\/strong><\/a> tribes named the moons based on features of that season. So, it makes sense the\u00a0Snow Moon<\/strong> got its name from the typically freezing conditions that occur in February.<\/p>\n

This month’s Snow Full Moon has been known by other names, including the Hunger Moon<\/strong>, the\u00a0Storm Moon<\/strong>, and (considering it’s a passionate<\/strong> moon) bizarrely, the Chaste Moon!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Whereas the Hunger Moon<\/strong> comes from the fact that in America, because of the weather, food sources were hard to find, and hunting conditions were challenging.<\/div>\n

Full Moon Lust!<\/h2>\n
\n

The <\/span>lunar cycle<\/b><\/a> has been known to affect people’s behaviours. This Full Moon indeed takes responsibility for spontaneous<\/strong> or erratic decisions<\/strong> when the night sky is all lit up! <\/span><\/p>\n

Sleeping patterns usually are affected, but it can also have a more effecting impression on another bedroom area<\/strong>! In fact, stirred sexual passions<\/strong> will be more prominent with this Full Moon, so brace yourself!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

As echoed by Holly Willoughby<\/strong><\/a>, via the Daily Mail<\/strong><\/a>, ‘Now is the time to let your inhibitions fall, be brave and share your passions with the world. The universe has got you and it’s full of positivity out there!’<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\"\"<\/div>\n

Astrological Influences<\/strong><\/h2>\n

This Snow Full Moon of hot desires<\/strong> is very strongly influenced by the almost exact alignment of Mars<\/strong><\/a> and Venus<\/strong><\/a>! In fact, most love relationships<\/strong> and new exciting passions<\/strong> are intensified by this!<\/p>\n

Also, accelerating the emotions is the Moon<\/strong> quincunx Pluto<\/a><\/strong>. You may find you are more emotional<\/strong> than usual and worries about secrets<\/strong> being discovered are heightened.<\/p>\n

So, whilst it is not the best moon for keeping an affair secret, it is a good Full Moon for saying something<\/strong> you’d previously been too afraid of saying. Clear the air<\/strong> if there is any confusion.<\/p>\n

All in all, the red hot<\/strong> snow moon is great for fully charged\u00a0sex drives<\/strong> and for clearer communication<\/strong> amongst friends and loved ones. Especially now we are on the other side of Valentine’s Day<\/strong><\/a>!<\/p>\n
