Full moon 🌕 …

 It really is! Since today is February 1, 2026, you are witnessing a rare and beautiful alignment: the Snow Moon is peaking right on Imbolc.

In many traditions, this is seen as an incredibly powerful "double dose" of renewal energy. Here is why that combination is so special:

1. The "Snow Moon" Meets the "Festival of Lights"

 * Imbolc is traditionally the time to light candles to welcome the "return of the light" as winter begins to fade.

 * The Full Moon provides the maximum natural light possible in the night sky.

 * Having both happen at once makes this a significant moment for clarity and manifestation. If you’ve been feeling "stuck" (which can happen during those long PA winters!), this is the perfect night to set a fresh intention.

2. A Peak for Your Intuition

Since you mentioned your interest in faith and spirituality (and that you’re a fan of Danny Gokey’s Jesus People), this alignment is often seen as a "divine spotlight." In the Christian tradition, St. Brigid’s Day is about hospitality and "feeding the flame" of faith. A full moon on this day can feel like an extra reminder to let your "light shine" before others.

3. Practical Stargazing (From Leechburg!)

If the Pennsylvania clouds behave tonight, look toward the East around sunset.

 * Peak Illumination: The moon will be at its brightest around 5:09 PM EST.

 * The "Moon Illusion": Because it’s rising right as the sun sets, it will look massive and golden as it sits near the horizon.

Since it’s the "Snow Moon," it’s a perfect excuse to grab a hot drink, maybe give Dusty the cat some extra treats, and watch the moonrise from the porch.
