Reflections of a Snow Moon

By Holiday Mathis

February 9, 2025 6 min read

Nothing in this experience of life is a given. The same action can be a miserable chore or a wonderful privilege, depending on your approach. As the Snow Moon illuminates the quiet, reflective space within us, even cleaning the floor can become a spiritual practice. The fullness of this omen urges us toward gratitude for things like shelter, the people we care for and the ability to move well. So many lack the mobility, resources or connections to clean a floor. From that perspective, the chore becomes a gift.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You will be extra perceptive about matters that involved you, and because of your spiritual awareness as to the connectivity of all things, you are perhaps even more so about matters that don't. Intellectual curiosity and an instinct to sense and predict the environment are also turned up, all of which serve you quite well.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). The way is uncertain, the outcome unpredictable, and yet you are oddly confident about this week's challenges. Why? Because you may not know the future, but you know how persistent you are. You trust yourself to persevere, learn and eventually figure it out. Your self-belief is catching, and others will start to believe in you, too.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You change your mind for a reason, and the reason is not that you're fickle or easily distracted. No — in fact, you're more focused than ever. Shifting interests are a just a sign that your values are evolving, and with them, your sense of fulfillment. What once felt meaningful may no longer resonate, not as a loss but as a call to deeper self-awareness.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Clear away what's no longer useful — this could pertain to food, outdated methods and tools and anything that keeps you in the past. Even clothing or habits could be part of this. It's as though every day this week is a statement about who you are and an opportunity for choosing your life. These artifacts don't fit anymore.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). The nagging feeling that you've got more to offer in an interaction than is currently being explored may seem annoying, but it could also be interpreted as the inspiration that gets you on a different track. There's a challenge that's tailor-made for your talents, and it will call your potential to the surface. Look around — it will be right there waiting for you.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Recently, a number of miniature stress grenades have been lobbed at you in the form of requests that seem harmless enough, but the sheer number of small asks you're getting adds up to a sizable job. Where's the support to offset the load? Who is there to assist? Is it time to employ new tools? The technology is there if you're up to the learning curve.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). The act of deciding is more important than the specifics of the choice itself. There's a danger of getting stuck in analysis or second-guessing this week. You'll save yourself a lot of time with the mantra, "It doesn't matter, so I can't go wrong. I'll just choose." And voila! You've got momentum.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). It is possible that after a day full of accomplishments and good connections, you may still feel a longing for a specific kind of lack in your life. It feels greedy to want happiness in every area of life, and yet your emotions are completely valid. However you feel, it's OK to feel that way.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You thrive on deep, meaningful and dynamic interactions. You'll be especially thoughtful and realistic about a tricky friend, understanding the rhythms of that relationship and recognizing its limitations. But knowing why things are as they are doesn't necessarily change your feelings, which seem to flow on their own accord.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You're the hero, so you'll dress like it. Confidence comes not just from what you do but how you prepare. Whether it's literal armor or the invisible kind, set yourself up to win. Suiting up isn't always an endeavor that happens alone, so ask for advice. Cull from the taste of others. The world will trust you more because they can clearly see you're ready for the role.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Trials are an opportunity to hone resilience. You've a depth of self-awareness and the willingness to embrace truths about your life and relationships. This week celebrates your capacity to hold both the beauty and the pain of your experiences — an ability that has shaped you into someone who brightens the world.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You're a master of finding elegant workarounds this week. With your knack for swift compromises, you'll sail past hurdles with ease. It helps that you're not nearly as self-conscious as you once were, and yet you're still very aware of what you bring to interactions. You move things forward like it's your job, and in many ways, it is.

THIS WEEK'S BIRTHDAYS: Many of this year's victories don't come in the form of a prize or applause, but rather they give a quieter, more enduring reward: a feeling of pure joy that moves right into your heart and signs a lease. This happiness isn't going anywhere — you build on it throughout the seasons. More highlights: You'll soar over your career, clearly seeing the next power move, which is also where the money is. You'll hear the kindest words ever spoken to you, and then they'll be topped. Love and charity expand your generosity.
