Full Moon January 2026

Hello Moonbeams!!!

As winter lingers and the land still dreams beneath the cold, Imbolc arrives with the rising Full Snow Moon on February 1st—like a quiet yet unmistakable spotlight turning toward your soul. This is the moment where something in you is ready to be seen, heard, and expressed without apology. No more shrinking. No more hiding.

 

This Full Moon rises in Leo, standing opposite the Aquarian Sun, and it brings with it warmth, glow, and undeniable presence. There’s a theatrical quality to this lunation—dramatic in the most heart-centered way. It’s bold. It’s luminous. It’s the kind of Full Moon that refuses to be ignored, calling to us whether we feel ready or not.

 

Imbolc, traditionally celebrated February 1–2, marks the halfway point between the Winter Solstice and the Spring Equinox. It’s a threshold moment—a pause between what has been and what is quietly forming. Long associated with illumination, renewal, and inner tending, Imbolc invites us to notice the subtle shifts happening beneath the surface. Seeds are stirring. Light is returning. Intention is beginning to take shape…and now the heart takes center stage.

 

This lunation illuminates what we can no longer deny—Change is coming. You can feel it. Change, of course, can feel downright scary, even when it’s necessary. This is where we slow down, breathe deeply, and remember our heart strength—our cor, the root of the word courage. True courage doesn’t come from force; it rises from the heart.

 

We are being gently (maybe, not so gently?) nudged out of what’s familiar and asked to move in rhythm with a larger unfolding. Something new wants to emerge. And it asks us to risk vulnerability. To step into the unknown. To offer our cup, open and willing. Because love—real, embodied love—is the medicine that will fill that cup.

 

It is the truest thing we have. It binds us across time and place, across generations, across realms seen and unseen. And now, my loves, this moment in time calls for fierce love—within ourselves, in our relationships, and on our planet. We are being asked to lead from the heart and to listen to the wisdom it’s been quietly sharing all along.

 

With Venus activated under this Full Moon, love and relationships are highlighted in a big way—which feels fitting, as Leo is deeply heartruled. This is a beautiful time to visualize connection, intimacy, and maybe a new soul-aligned partnership? For those walking solo, this moon offers something just as powerful: a return to self-love. Often overlooked, self-love is the seedling, the root, from which all other love grows. Only by tending to yourself with care and compassion can you truly love.

 

So, loves, trust the timing…trust the unfolding. Not every seed planted will grow exactly as imagined—and that’s part of the magick. Some seeds transform. Some wait. Some surprise us entirely!

 

Wishing you a Blessed Imbolc & Full Moon….
