February's Snow Moon is in Sidereal Leo

She will peak at 12:30pm GMT on Saturday 24 Feb

This month’s Snow Moon is peaking in the constellation of Maghā Nakshatra (Regulus) in Leo at 12:30pm GMT on Saturday 24 February, making the optimal time for rituals and circles in UK/Europe the night before she peaks, for the Waxing Gibbous on Friday 23 February. This will be the most magnetic time for tuning in to receive guidance for what to let go of in the following two weeks waning phase of the moon. Leo is ruled by the Sun, which is considered the heart of the zodiac, so this full moon will be encouraging us to tune in and listen more closely to our own hearts for strength and guidance during these tumultuous times.

Our community at Dedham Yoga will be gathering in person this Friday 23 February 18:30-20:30 for a two-hour Snow Moon Circle featuring a heart-expanding meditation practice to tune into Maghā Nakshatra’s empowering energies and strengthen our self confidence through channeling ancestral wisdom and support with a replenishing yoga nidra followed by collective tarot reading and creative journaling practice. Those in the area can still join us by booking your space here:

Nakshatra Spotlight: Maghā (Regulus)

Wherever you are in the world, when you look up into the nighttime sky this Friday 23 February the moon will be waxing towards her fullest magnificence in the radiant Maghā Nakshatra, otherwise known as Regulus.

Regulus is the brightest star in the Leo constellation, carrying the energy of nobility, ambition, and grandeur. Ruled by the South Node of the Moon, Ketu, Maghā invites us to honour our ancestral lineage, reconnect with our roots, and refocus our Earthly purpose with elevated spiritual consciousness. The key themes of this Full Moon are:

Self-Confidence: The unified forces of Leo and Maghā Nakshatra empower us to embrace our self confidence and tap into our highest potential. This cosmic alignment supports success in whatever endeavours we are committed to when lead by our hearts. Reminding us that we all possess the regal qualities needed to assert ourselves and create a positive impact in our personal and professional spheres.

Channeling Ancestral Wisdom: Maghā Nakshatra carries a powerful connection to our ancestral lineage. During this full moon, we are encouraged to honour the legacies of our forebears and seek guidance from their wisdom. By tapping into the abundance of their experiences that lives within us, we can draw upon their support to manifest our true potential and fulfil our soul purpose.

Expanding Spiritual Consciousness: As the south node of the moon, Ketu, rules over Maghā Nakshatra, this cosmic energy has the potential for a deeply transformative impact on our spiritual journey. We will be invited to explore the depths of our being, release karmic patterns, and expand our spiritual consciousness. It is a good time for introspection, self-reflection, and awakening the inner spark of divinity within us.

So, this Full Moon in Maghā Nakshatra of the Leo constellation presents us with a unique opportunity for personal growth, self-expression, and spiritual evolution.

As we bask in the radiance of Leo’s regal energy and the ancestral wisdom of Maghā Nakshatra, we may feel guided to elevate our ambitions, honour our lineage, and embrace our true inner potential.

During this auspicious astronomical event, take the time to reconnect with your true nature, find your voice to unleash your roar-worthy stories, nourished by being held by your ancestral spirit team.

Embrace this transformative time and find ways to channel your most noble aspirations, and let the brilliance of the Leo full moon and Maghā Nakshatra illumine your path towards fulfilment, abundance, and self-realisation.
