There actually 2 moons each month. In addition to the full there’s the new moon. Depending how you see it full is mid month and new is either end of current month or beginning of next month. Example full moon is 2/12 and new is 2/27. I’ll include a new post on new in a couple of weeks. Plus this is a leap year! Spot the Full Snow Moon! When to See February’s Full Moon February’s full Snow Moon reaches peak illumination at 8:53 A.M. EST on Wednesday, February 12. It will be below the horizon at this time, so for the best view of this Moon, look for it starting the night before or later on Wednesday; it will drift above the horizon in the east around sunset and reach its highest point in the sky around midnight. Why Is It Called the Snow Moon? The full Moon names used by The Old Farmer’s Almanac come from a number of places, including Native American, Colonial American, and European sources. Traditionally, each full Moon name was applied to the entire lunar month in which it occurred, not just to the full Moon itself. The Snow Moon The explanation behind February’s full Moon name is a fairly straightforward one: it’s known as the Snow Moon due to the typically heavy snowfall that occurs in February. On average, February is the United States’ snowiest month, according to data from the National Weather Service. In the 1760s, Captain Jonathan Carver, who had visited with the Naudowessie (Dakota), wrote that the name used for this period was the Snow Moon, “because more snow commonly falls during this month than any other in the winter.” Alternative February Moon Names Names for this month’s Moon have historically had a connection to animals. The Cree traditionally called this the Bald Eagle Moon or Eagle Moon. The Ojibwe Bear Moon and Tlingit Black Bear Moon refer to the time when bear cubs are born. The Dakota also call this the Raccoon Moon; certain Algonquin peoples named it the Groundhog Moon, and the Haida named it Goose Moon. Another theme of this month’s Moon names is scarcity. The Cherokee names of Month of the Bony Moon and Hungry Moon give evidence to the fact that food was hard to come by at this time. If dosing WPS… If you are thinking of using the split dosing approach for your WPS, here are the basic instructions: For three days before and three days after the full moon peak, you divide your WPS dose in thirds. Regarding whatever drop count you are at, at this time, take drops at 10:30 am, drops at 3:30 pm, and drops at bedtime as usual. You have to be extremely careful to allow the full two hours between your WPS and your other protocol supplements. You need to be precise with your timing, and return immediately to your regular dosing, after the six-day cycle of the full moon (three days before and the three days after). Someone with a scientific background could explain why this works in detail, but basically it seems that by splitting the WPS, you are interrupting the reproduction cycle of the organism which is accelerated during the full moon phase.

Look up at the full Moon on the 13th (or a day earlier or later)! What do you think? The sunset embers smolder low, The Moon climbs o’er the hill, The peaks have caught the alpenglow, The robin’s song is still. –John L. Stoddard (1850–1931) When to See January’s Full Moon January’s full Wolf Moon reaches peak illumination on Monday, January 13, 2025, at 5:27 P.M. EST. At a full Moon, the Moon is located on the opposite side of the Earth to the Sun, so the face of the Moon facing towards the Earth will be entirely illuminated by the Sun’s rays. Look for the January Moon to rise from the eastern horizon around sunset that evening. By midnight, the Wolf Moon glows bright and round overhead. By sunrise, it will disappear into the western horizon. Why Is It Called the Full Wolf Moon? The full Moon names used by The Old Farmer’s Almanac come from a number of places, including Native American, Colonial American, and European sources. Traditionally, each full Moon name was applied to the entire lunar month in which it occurred, not just to the full Moon itself. The Wolf Moon It’s thought that January’s full Moon came to be known as the Wolf Moon because wolves were more likely to be heard howling at this time. It was traditionally believed that wolves howled due to hunger during winter, but we know today that isn’t accurate. Howling and other wolf vocalizations are heard in the wintertime to locate pack members, reinforce social bonds, define territory, and coordinate hunting. Moon Folklore A bright first Moon promises rain and a bountiful harvest; a red-tinted Moon means a dry year. A growing Moon and a flowing tide are lucky times to marry. A halo around the Moon predicts wet or stormy weather.
