This February, the full moon will take place in Leo on the 1st, the same day as Imbolc, or the day that falls between the winter solstice and the spring equinox. The nickname for this moon is the snow moon, because it takes place at the snowiest time of year for those places that experience snow. The US has definitely seen this recently…

This new moon in Aquarius, happening January 18th 2026, is finding a lot of us at a dark time. I’m reading the news and feeling furious, afraid, and somewhat lost at what to do. It seems that the US government has decided to go to war abroad and domestically against its own people. It’s also January, and Mercury is in retrograde, so that doesn’t help bring about a mood of hope. So many people in my life have expressed to me the feeling of creeping burnout, if not total crisis.
