February Full Moon

Native American tribes of the North and East called the February Full moon the Snow Moon
since traditionally the heaviest snows fall during this winter month.
The Lakota Sioux called it the Full Moon When Trees Pop because of the heavy snows that cause the tree branches to break.

I can remember, when I lived in the north, the silence of a heavy snowfall. The snow seemed to muffle all the sounds - the silence was magical. It seemed as if nature gave us a momentary break from the all the hurry and scurry of our lives. When the snowfall ended and I ventured out to survey the scene it was all pristine, white and glistening. As I made my way through the fresh snow and maneuvered around the drifts, the only sound was the crunching of each footstep as I made my own path - creating a new journey.

At this Full Moon in Leo we may want to take some time alone to contemplate, find our own path and perhaps even re-create ourselves - find our own passions. Think about what makes your heart want to sing and create your own journey.
