Full Moon February 2025: Snow Moon
The full moon in February 2025 will occur on Tuesday, February 11, 2025. It is commonly known as the Snow Moon.
Origin of the Name “Snow Moon”:
Native American tribes in the northern United States named the full moon in February “Snow Moon” due to the heavy snowfall that typically occurs during this time of year.

The full moon represents the completion of the lunar cycle. It occurs when the Earth is positioned between the Sun and the Moon, causing the Moon’s entire face to be illuminated by sunlight.

In astrology, the full moon in Aquarius is associated with independence, originality, and social awareness. It is a time to break free from conformity and embrace our unique perspectives.
Viewing the Snow Moon:
The Snow Moon will be visible to the naked eye from anywhere in the world with clear skies. It will rise in the east at sunset and reach its highest point in the sky at midnight.

There will be a total lunar eclipse during the Snow Moon on February 11, 2025. This eclipse will be visible from parts of North America, South America, Africa, and Europe. During an eclipse, the Earth moves between the Sun and the Moon, blocking sunlight from reaching the Moon. This creates a dramatic red hue on the Moon’s surface.
