We’re now in Day Whatever of winter, and the season is seriously dragging on. With all the cold and grayness out there, it’s understandable to want to shake things up.

You won't need a snow globe for this kind of shake-up. All you need is the Full Snow Moon in Leo on February 5, 2023. During this full moon, you’ll face a lot of unexpected—but awesome—new things in your life, according to Donna Page, a certified astrologer in Atlanta. Of course, there's more to this lunar event than just that.

Here’s what else your zodiac sign can expect from the Full Snow Moon in Leo, and how it’ll impact your life going forward.

Wait, what is the Full Snow Moon in Leo, exactly?

Given that you’ve probably glanced at the moon here and there before, you’re probably aware that the moon goes through different phases. The full moon is when it looks like a big ‘ol shiny ball of awesome in the sky. In astrology, each full moon lines up with a different astrological sign to give it a distinct vibe.

This full moon’s name comes from a mix of Native American, Colonial American, and European sources. The Full Snow Moon tends to happen around the same time as the year’s heaviest snowfall, according to the Old Farmer’s Almanac. For what it’s worth, the moon is also known as the Eagle Moon, Bear Moon, and Raccoon Moon, depending on where you’re from.

How will the Full Snow Moon in Leo impact your zodiac sign?

This full moon is connected with Uranus, the planet that tends to throw you for a loop, Page says. But, thankfully, you're in for a good loop here. During this full moon, things won’t always go the way you expect, packing your life with intrigue and excitement.

That can show up in a huge range of ways, like your go-to workout class suddenly changing to something totally different that you're even more into, or a new position opening up at work that you’d be perfect for. Even something as small as the barista at your local coffee shop slipping you a new drink will help you shake off those winter blahs.

Venus is in the mix, too, and she’s square with Mars, bringing a feisty nature to your love life. You’re all about following your heart and being generous but, if you’re not getting the same in return, you’ll end up feeling a little… tense. Be prepared for some friction if things don’t go your way, but also know that there’s some steamy makeup sex in your future. Ultimately, everybody wins!

The full moon will impact all zodiac signs, but Page says that Leo, Aquarius, and Taurus will feel it the most.

How will the Full Snow Moon in Leo impact your future?

Let’s face it: You’ve kind of gotten into a low-grade funk after the holidays, and the Full Snow Moon will help bring that to your attention. You’ll make a personal pact to be more on top of that in the future, doing your best to mix things up whenever you can.

The Full Snow Moon can also bring new work opportunities your way to help push you into a bigger and brighter career path.

As for your love life, it’s totally okay to get annoyed with your partner or date if you feel like you're giving 120 percent... and they're only giving 20 percent. But speaking up about how you feel and what you deserve, while also being willing to forge a compromise can go a long way toward doing your love life a solid, now and in the future.

When is the next full moon?

The next full moon is on March 7, 2023 in the sign of Virgo. During this full moon, you’ll be all about getting organized. And really, there’s nothing bad about that.

For now, though, enjoy the benefits of shaking up your routine with unexpected awesomeness. It’s about time, after all.
