Back the full moonit will be the February 12th and it will be called Snow moon. It will be high and bright (time permitting). Even if the full moon phase will be technically at 14.53 Italian time, a few hours of difference, those that are missing at sunset, will not take away anything from this show. Not to be missed!
As the cards of the sky show, our satellite, on the 12th of this month, will be near the constellation of the lion, on the horizon to the east, and it is therefore there that we will have to look (on the map the Heaven of February 12, 2025 at about 20.00).
Because the snow moon
The full moon of February is called the snow moon in the American tradition given the rigid northern winters: the ancient tribes have in fact given this name to the moon observing the trees that broke for the cold, or the people who had to sit shoulder to the shoulder around the fire to warm up. The Celts called it similarly the Ice moonbut, given the cold, we talk about this full moon as well as Bone moon.
But not all cultures associate the full moon of February with extreme cold and death: for the tribe of Hopi It is in fact the Moon of purification And Moon of renewalwhile the ancient Chinese called her Moon that blossoms.
Good vision!
