February’s full snow moon in Virgo brings relationship turning points marked by practicality

February’s full moon falls just 10 days after Valentine’s Day this year… and could bring with it turning points or endings to some relationships, with practical steps set to help the process.

Saturday’s full moon (also known this month as the Snow Moon) is in Virgo and brings with it energies of practicality, groundedness and efficiency which may make a big difference to our lives.

Being in the sign of the goddess – Virgo, the Snow Moon will offer a methodical approach to life but with it will come healing and analysis.

On the relationship front, coming just 10 days after Valentine’s Day, it’s a great time to focus on the small things in your love life. Take a more critical look and be honest as to whether things are working.

Full moons are often seen as a time for releasing what no longer serves you and setting future intentions – so this may be particularly applicable if a breakup or a reassessment of a relationship is on the cards.

Virgo’s traits include being detailed and organised, and they like to keep their own counsel. Virgo’s influence during the Snow Moon may help you gain greater clarity and focus. If you have been delaying projects or odd jobs, now is an ideal time to get them done!

The sign’s medical connections may also give you a health and wellness focus so perhaps look to exercise, focus on nutrition, or meditate.

Also, look to give back to the community or give extra attention to your family and friends. While all star signs will be affected by Virgo’s influence, being an Earth sign, other Earth signs Taurus and Capricorn will feel its force the most.

Elements Earth, Fire, Air and Water are influential in astrology so to be more specific we can look for their connections.

Earth zodiac signs, while practical and reliable, are also honest. So, if a breakup is on the cards – you can expect to give some direct answers.

Star sign Modes are also important because astrology is based on the seasons. Cardinal signs mark the start of seasons, followed by Fixed signs in the middle, and Mutable signs at the end.

Virgo is also a Mutable sign – along with other signs Gemini, Sagittarius and Pisces. This full moon will also be opposite Mercury, Virgo’s planetary ruler, bringing a need for balance on all fronts.

Set achievable goals and work towards them with dedication and focus. February’s full moon is known as the “Snow Moon” in the northern hemisphere because it falls in winter during the heaviest snowfall of the year.

The full moon in Virgo will be reaching its peak on Saturday, February 24th at 11.30 pm AEST.
