A bad Snow Moon is coming: the exact time of the full moon in February, dangers for weather-sensitive

The February Snow Moon will be one of the most notable astronomical events of the beginning of the year. According to astrologers, during this period, the emotional background increases, which helps to get rid of accumulated worries and recharge your batteries for the future. Details can be found in the Izvestia article.

The astronomical significance of the February full moon

The full moon in February 2026 will occur in the evening, coordinated universal time — the peak of the phase will be recorded on February 2, 2026. The February full moon is commonly referred to as the Snow Moon.

The full moon is a key phase of the lunar cycle. This is not only a spectacular astronomical event for a wide range of observers, but also an important timestamp: the full moon marks the end of the old and the beginning of a new lunar month, which is used in astronomical calculations, calendars and astronomical observations.

At the moment of the full phase, the Moon shows the greatest brightness and uniform illumination, which facilitates visual observations of large details of the satellite's surface, and also allows you to clearly record the position of the Moon relative to the nearest constellations.

Energy and the influence of the Snow Moon on humans

In the cultural and esoteric tradition, the full moon is often viewed as the peak of lunar energy: a time when emotions are heightened, intuition is activated, and unresolved issues and hidden experiences can come to the surface.

Experts recommend using the full moon for rituals of purification, summing up and symbolic liberation from what is in the way. Experts describe the period as convenient for meditating, setting personal boundaries, and completing projects.

Research in medicine and psychology does not confirm a stable and strong connection between the phases of the moon and massive changes in behavior, increased crime, or widespread deterioration in health. Many meta—analyses and systematic reviews conclude that positive results occur sporadically and are often explained by statistical errors, confirmation effects, or related factors.

What can and cannot be done on the day of the full moon

Folk, esoteric, and popular astrological sources provide a number of practical tips that are primarily aimed at psychological comfort and reducing the risks of impulsive behavior. Among the recommendations that are most common are during the full moon:

— complete the cases that have been started and summarize the interim results;

— do not plan major surgical procedures and cosmetic surgeries unless there is a shock clinical need.;

— do not take drastic financial steps and do not sign important agreements based on emotions: the full moon increases emotional sensitivity, which can distort a rational assessment of risks;

— pay attention to sleep and mental health: in case of sleep disorders during the full moon, it is useful to reduce the brightness of the light in the evening, limit screen time and use relaxation techniques (breathing practices, a warm bath, meditation).
