February 2022 Full Moon Details

one Moon because by this point, the tribe’s winter food supplies had usually dwindled to the point where people had to gnaw on bones and cook bone marrow soup in order to survive. For the same reason, the Kalapuya tribe called this moon the Out of Food Moon. Appropriately, it’s also known as the Hunger Moon and the Little Famine Moon. Perhaps due to this month’s association with death, the Cherokee tribe would commune with their dead ancestors during the Bone Moon. A didanawiskawi, or a medicine person, would host a medicine dance for the community. Fasting and rituals for the dead were also common practices.

However, not all cultures associate February’s full moon with extreme cold and death. The Hopi tribe calls it the Moon of Purification and Renewal, which is very fitting because the Full Snow Moon is usually the very first full moon of the year according to the lunar calendar. Cultures that follow the lunar calendar, especially East Asian cultures, tend to associate the Full Snow Moon with new beginnings for this very reason. The ancient Chinese, for example, called it the Budding Moon.

As a matter of fact, celebrations of February’s full moon are the climax of Lunar New Year festivities in various East Asian countries. In China, the Full Snow Moon is celebrated during the Lantern Festival, also known as the Yuanxiao Festival, which is the 15th day of the Lunar New Year. During this festival, the Chinese release kongming lanterns into the sky as they admire the full moon and eat tangyuan, glutinous rice balls that are usually filled with sweet paste. The round shape of the balls symbolize family togetherness and bring good luck to the whole family.

Many East Asian cultures in general also light lanterns and bonfires to celebrate February’s full moon. According to an ancient Chinese legend, not long after Buddhism was brought into China, 17 deities were witnessed flying through the sky during the first full moon of the Lunar New Year. Shocked and excited, the populace lit fires and lanterns to see the godly beings better. They continued to do so year after year, but for more practical reasons – to chase away pests and to pray for a good crop in the upcoming spring.

In Korea, where February’s full moon is known as Daeboreum, these fiery structures are called “Houses of the Burning Moon”. During Daeboreum, Koreans hike mountains despite the freezing temperatures in order to catch a glimpse of the first rise of the first full moon of the Lunar New Year. According to legend, the very first person to accomplish this feat will have their dearest wish come true.

Moon Alert

Avoid shopping or making important decisions from 11:30 AM to 4 PM EST today (8:30 AM to 1 PM PST). After that, the Moon moves from Leo into Virgo.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Today you make a desirable impression on bosses, parents, teachers, VIPs and the police. Oh yes, everyone thinks you rock! Since this is a case, this is obviously the day to make your pitch. However, avoid doing this during the Moon Alert.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

You have a strong desire to travel and feel the thrill and adventure of enjoying foreign places and exciting cities. Very likely, this is not possible, with the restrictions we face. Nevertheless, do something to expand your world. Be inventive!

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

This is a hot and sexy day! (Even if it’s raining.) Passions are running high today because you feel attracted to someone. You might even crush on a celebrity, or someone beyond your reach. This is because you feel a strong need for affection — with someone appealing.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

This is an excellent day for warm relations with friends, partners and spouses because you want their attention. You want to be adored! You want to attract people to you who will make you feel good about yourself. There’s certainly nothing wrong with that.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Relations with coworkers will be pleasant and supportive today. These relations will be so supportive that some of you will strike up a romantic tryst or develop a crush on someone. (It’s as if you were hit over the head.) Suddenly, this person seems to be kinda cute!

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

This is a wonderful day for romance and dating. Even lunch with a platonic friend could turn flirtatious. This is because Venus and Mars are lined up today, which means they excite and promote this kind of energy. Everyone feels a strong need for affection.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Although there is a strong romantic vibe today, some of you might channel this energy into redecorating where you live or entertaining at home. It will please you to offer something special and spectacular to guests so that they are thrilled with your efforts.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

You are an intense, passionate sign and today is an intense, passionate day. Oh yeah! Expect casual flirtations from surprising sources, even everyday encounters. Your ordinary world will take on a bit of excitement today because you might encounter someone who makes your heart leap.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

You are intrigued by money and shopping today. You want to attract money to you. Plus, you want to buy beautiful things for loved ones. Definitely, if shopping, avoid doing this during the Moon Alert. (See above) Work around this.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

This is an exciting, scintillating day for you because Venus and Mars are lined up in your sign. This means you exude pheromones and other delightful little gestures that might attract someone to you. You might not even be aware of it. Or you might be aware that you are flirting – and loving it!

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Some of you might be having a smouldering, secret love affair at this time. Others might be having this same kind of secret love affair in their mind? Sheer fantasy? Either way, this is a flirtatious day when many people feel attracted to others.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

You will enjoy the company of others today. In fact, you might enjoy the company of a friend so much today, that this person becomes a lover. Almost certainly, you will feel a flirtatious connection with someone or at least an attraction. Hopefully, this is a two-way street.

If Your Birthday Is Today

Actor Mahershala Ali (1974) shares your birthday today. You are vibrant. You are active and you like to live fast. You are also an optimistic idealist. This winning combination guarantees your popularity with others. It’s important to take care of your health this year because you will be of service to others.

IF YOU ARE BORN ON FEBRUARY 16, you are enthusiastic! If today is your birthday, then you are an Aquarius. How could anyone mistake you for doom and gloom? You are dynamic and strong-willed. You are charming, Aquarius. You make the world go around you.

All of these things say that you have a magnetic personality that attracts people. In spite of it all, you remain humble, and you are a gift to others. Justice appeals to your sensitive nature.Those with a February 16 birthday can keep calm and see both views when debates arise. Your motto is “Truth is 100% factual, but it doesn’t care who it comes from.” A 3-year-old can make a valid point. You just have to listen.

When it comes to parenting, you will make a fine one. Whether you decide to allow your children space in which to make their own mistakes and grow or to discipline them with strong ties to values, patience, and humility, you will be fine.

Whatever you decide to do, it will hold firm to your principles. Most Aquarians born on this day take their roles as a parent seriously and find it much easier as time goes by. You will lead by example.

What your birthday says about you, it that, Aquarians prefer to set their standards. Some would rather shop at a boutique or small business than to go to the overcrowded and overpriced mall. You will have better luck at finding one of a kind clothing or shoes in those shops anyway.

I mean, who should be concerned about what “they” are wearing when “they” should be worried about what You are wearing. You are Aquarius, and you set your style. Oh, do not forget to add a touch of turquoise jewelry on you. Now, you look gorgeous! You are ready to travel.

As your February 16 birthday horoscope predicts, you are always on the go whether it is business related or you are doing something for your friends and family. Won’t any grass grow under your feet? You do not need a reason other than the wind is blowing to travel. You love to go to new places.

Aquarians will just go. It is wonderful, freedom is. Free to be spontaneous is a luxury you work hard to obtain. Money is never an issue with you. You know its value, however; you seem to place little importance on it.

You know, Aquarius, you should think about getting an accountant to handle your business affairs or maybe a financial consultant to help you invest and grow your dollar.

Those with a February 16 birthday, are friendly. You can make a friend with ease, but the question is will you cultivate the friendship or not. Bear in mind, however, every one you meet is not your friend. To get one Aquarius, you have to be one.

Your birthday horoscope profile shows that you cannot expect others to open up to you when you never return the favor. Be truly honest with people and let them know how you feel, what you want and need.

There are two things guaranteed about an Aquarius zodiac birthday, and that is 1) You fear losing control and 2) You fear to lose your freedom. If you suspect that a friend was becoming too needy, you will leave that friend hanging. Aquarius, you would disappear! You cannot put restrictions on Aquarians. This is a deal breaker for those with February 16 birthdays.

Let us wrap it up, Aquarius. According to your birthday astrology analysis, you are enthusiastic and dynamic. This is an excellent combination to have on the Air team. You are honest and know that wisdom comes from strange places.

You value your freedom more than you do anyone that is trying to take it from you. You cannot put a cage on those born on February 16, a true Aquarian.

Eiffel Tower Prominence on the Sun

Eiffel Tower Prominence on the Sun
Video Credit & Copyright: Hawk WolinskiExplanation: What’s that on the Sun? Although it may look like a flowing version of the Eiffel Tower, it is a solar prominence that is actually much bigger — about the height of Jupiter. The huge prominence emerged about ten days ago, hovered over the Sun’s surface for about two days, and then erupted — throwing a coronal mass ejection (CME) into the Solar System. The featured video, captured from the astrophotographer’s backyard in HendersonvilleTennessee, USA, shows an hour time-lapse played both forwards and backwards. That CME did not impact the Earth, but our Sun had unleashed other recent CMEs that not only triggered Earthly auroras, but puffed out the Earth’s atmosphere enough to cause just-launched Starlink satellites to fall back. Activity on the Sun, including sunspotsprominences, CMEs and flares, continues to increase as the Sun evolves away from a deep minimum in its 11-year magnetic cycle.
