The full moon is on Saturday 24th February 2024, and it is called the Snow Moon. This is because traditionally, snow always falls in February – although with climate change upon us… who knows if this will continue to happen?
Snow Moon
This is the final full moon of the astrological year and as the moon connects us to our emotions and inner world, we may find our feelings and intuition heightened during this special time.
Astrologically, the sun has moved into the watery sign of Pisces (the Fish), while the moon is in the earth sign of Virgo (the Maiden). The archetype of Pisces is that of the mystic, the poet and the dreamer, while Virgo is the energy of creating order, sacredness, and purity in life. This February is a time to manifest our dreams.

What does this Full Moon ask us to consider?
During the New Moon we were invited to think about how we make a difference in the world. This path took us ‘within’ to nurture our inner child and in so doing heal ourselves. This sends out a vibration of love into the world.
Now at the time of the February full moon, we are being asked to stand in our truth with inner strength, and then allow ourselves to dream and then manifest these dreams.
Manifesting is more than just having positive thoughts and willpower.
I turned to Oprah’s website to find out more…
How to manifest anything you desire
Vision Board
- We ask ourselves what is it that we want. We create and look at our Vision Board every day to remind ourselves. (See January New Moon in Capricorn for more details)
2. We close our eyes and imagine what it FEELS like to have this dream become a reality. We create a scene where we can experience what it looks like, sounds like, and feels like.
Feel it
Express gratitude
3. We express gratitude and be thankful for what we DO have… even the little things in everyday life – we pay attention to them and show appreciation.
It helps to have a gratitude journal and write 3 things in it that we are grateful for each day (See Free Resources)
4. When we open our hearts and minds, we can observe what limiting beliefs are holding us back from these dreams becoming a reality.
In contrast, if we focus on a world of ‘I want’, then we will stay in a world of ‘wanting’ and of lack.
Limiting beliefs
The magic of affirmations
5. We write out and speak new positive affirmations to start reprogramming the subconscious mind so that it is willing to accept a world of abundance and manifestation.
6. We begin to change the energy we send out into the world. ‘Like attracts like’ so we observe our self-talk and self-beliefs that pop up.
This doesn’t mean denying or resisting the negative thoughts and feelings – instead, we notice the negative thoughts and feelings and ask what they are trying to teach us. We listen to the answer and then we thank them for being our teacher.
Like attracts like
Self-kindness
7. We do things that make us feel good: volunteer, sing, dance, join a yoga class or the gym, practice Tai Chi or Qigong, meditate, walk in nature, buy flowers for the table, eat nourishing food, get more sleep, smile more, practice kindness to self and others.
8. Be flexible but trust the process. We trust our inner voice to guide us each step of the way (even if it doesn’t always make sense to the rational mind).
Enjoy the journey
To be honest, I am curiously looking forward to being amazed and flooded with awe as I begin to open up to the abundance of the Universe and the manifestation of my dreams…. watch this space!
