February Full Moon - Ice Moon

February's Full Moon is called the Ice MoonQuickening Moon, Storm Moon, Horning Moon, Hunger Moon, Wild Moon, Red & Cleansing Moon, Quickening Moon, Solmonath (Sun Month), or Big Winter Moon.

It is a time of new life beginning, pregnant animals feel the quickening of their babies, and the earth quickens as seeds and bulbs below the ground make their way towards the surface, and light.  Dream, hope, and set goals this month.  Accept responsibility for your actions, and focus on personal achievements and advancement in your magick.
