Lunar calendar for February 2025: Moon phases and the most unfavorable days
Since ancient times, the moon has been considered a celestial reference point, helping our ancestors to predict the most favorable times for various activities. Their knowledge about the movement of the night luminary took the form of a lunar calendar. This system allows you to plan your daily activities, choosing the most suitable lunar phase for cleaning, going to the hairdresser or conducting financial transactions. What days in February 2025 will be favorable and unfortunate for various activities - tell "Izvestia".
Waxing Moon in February 2025
The lunar calendar is one of the oldest systems of counting time, based on the change of four phases of the Earth's natural satellite. One lunar, or synodic, month lasts approximately 29.5 days. During this time, several lunar phases are seen alternately in the night sky - new moon, waxing moon, full moon and waning moon.
It is believed that the lunar calendar was invented by the ancient Sumerians who inhabited the territory of Southern Mesopotamia - modern Iraq - several millennia ago. The ancient people observed the night luminary, determining the most suitable days for agricultural work, religious rituals and social events.
Similar calendars were found in other peoples. Egyptians made a schedule of agricultural work based on lunar cycles. In China, the traditional New Year is still celebrated according to the lunar calendar. In India, the phases of the moon are used to select the dates of weddings and religious festivals.
Today, the lunar calendar is used to plan various daily activities, such as cleaning, financial transactions, agricultural work, trips to the doctor or hairdresser. Also on the basis of lunar phases it is possible to predict the most favorable days for travel and other important events - weddings, negotiations, medical operations and other procedures.
According to astrologers, each lunar phase has its own energetic features that affect the result of planned affairs. It is believed that surgical intervention during the waning Moon is easier - the risk of complications is reduced. For general cleaning and getting rid of unnecessary things, too, it is customary to choose the waning Moon. In this period, clearing the space will fill the house with positive energy and well-being. Many people choose dates for haircuts, hair coloring and skin care depending on the phases of the Moon. For fast hair growth, astrologers advise cutting hair on the waxing Moon. This phase is also suitable for visiting a beautician, hair coloring and home facials.
In February 2025, the phases of the Moon will take place in the following order:
- waxing Moon (February 1-11);
- Full Moon (February 12);
- waning Moon (February 13-27);
- new moon (February 28).
The waxing Moon is considered an active, but at the same time creative phase. During it, the visible form of the Earth's satellite gradually increases from the new moon phase - when the Moon is almost invisible from the Earth, to the full moon - when the disk of the satellite is clearly visible in the sky. During the waxing Moon, the natural satellite is located between the Earth and the Sun in approximately one straight line, so it is difficult to see it with the naked eye in the first few days. Despite this, the energy of the waxing Moon has a powerful effect on the body and human life in general. In February 2025, this phase will last from the 1st to the 11th of the month, until the onset of the full moon.
According to astrologers, this period is characterized by an active growth of internal energy and emotional uplift. On the waxing Moon is best to carry out those cases, the result of which can be fully assessed in the long term. This applies to training, financial transactions, moving, long trips or business trips.
During this period, the body is set for renewal, so it is favorable to make cosmetic procedures for the body, face and hair, massage, visit spa treatments, sauna or sauna, as well as to undergo health diagnosis or treatment. Exercise in these days will be more effective than in other lunar phases. Also, this phase is suitable for hairstyle renewal, coloring and long-term perming. In the lunar calendar of haircuts you can find the most favorable dates for going to the beauty salon in February. On the waxing Moon it is recommended to sow vegetables and flowers for seedlings. It is favorable to plant cucumbers, tomatoes, peppers, onions, legumes, roses, begonias, petunias, chrysanthemums, daisies.
During the period of the waxing Moon in the human body there is a process of accumulation of energy, so it is very important what kind of lifestyle a person leads these days. Do not overeat, abuse alcohol and other harmful substances. In this phase, astrologers advise to spend more time outdoors, to engage in creativity and improve professional skills. This activity will help to significantly change life for the better, they believe.
Full Moon in February 2025
The full moon is one of the most mesmerizing phenomena in the night sky, which has long attracted people's attention. Ancestors believed that the full moon has a mystical energy, turning the usual course of life "upside down". At this time, many people have frequent mood swings, insomnia, increased emotionality. In this difficult period it is important to remain calm and limit the amount of communication with others, astrologers say.
The nearest full moon will come on Wednesday, February 12, at 16:53 Moscow time. Since this moment will happen in the daytime, it will be impossible to observe the peak of this phase of the Moon. However, on the night before and after February 12, it will be possible to see a bright and almost perfectly round full Moon with the naked eye.
February's full moon is often referred to as the Snow Moon. This name comes from the traditions of North American Indian tribes, who observed that the snow becomes deep during this period. Harsh weather conditions made hunting difficult, so the full moon was also called the Hungry Moon. In addition, this natural phenomenon has other names associated with animals traditionally found at this time of year. For example, Indian tribes called it the Groundhog Moon and the White-headed Eagle Moon.
February is the shortest month of the year, and sometimes there is no Full Moon at all. This phenomenon, which occurs about once every 20 years, is called the Black Moon. The balance is equalized by the appearance of two full moons in one of the neighboring months - January or March. The second full moon occurring in the same calendar month is called a Blue Moon.
Astrologers believe that during the second lunar phase, all the accumulated energy bursts outward - increasing activity and confidence in their actions. The danger of such excessive optimism lies in the fact that on an emotional high you can overestimate your strength and find yourself in an unpleasant situation. To avoid this, you should think carefully about all decisions. At the same time, the Full Moon is a time of creative upsurge and opportunities for a deep understanding of life. It is recommended to meditate, do creative work and finalize previously started cases. It is undesirable to start new projects and perform surgical operations, as complications are possible. Financial transactions on this day are also better to postpone to avoid unforeseen risks.
Waning Moon in February 2025
The period of the waning Moon in February 2025 will last from the 13th to the 27th. It is believed that the third phase of the Moon is the most successful period for realizing the accumulated energy and getting the results of the work done. Astrologers advise to spend energy carefully and thoughtfully, otherwise you can fall into a depressed state, spoil relations with loved ones or colleagues.
This is a favorable time to solve complex and important tasks and analyze the work done. On these days you can safely plan a serious conversation with your superiors, change of place of work or move. The waning Moon is not suitable for signing contracts - deals may be unsuccessful. Financial investments during this period are undesirable, as they may lead to losses. Astrologers also recommend to limit communication with suspicious and unfamiliar people - there is a possibility to become a victim of deception.
During this period it is favorable to do household chores - washing, cleaning, rearranging furniture. It is also desirable to give away debts and fulfill earlier promises. The last days of this phase is better to devote to rest with family, socializing with friends.
The waning Moon symbolizes a difficult period, when the Moon gradually loses its brightness, and its energy is directed to completion and purification. Therefore, some during this period may feel malaise, increased fatigue and weakness. The human body at this time is focused on getting rid of toxins and unnecessary substances. This time is good for getting rid of bad habits and revising nutrition. Cosmetic procedures aimed at cleansing the skin will also give a positive result.
New Moon in February 2025
The phase of the new moon is considered the beginning of the lunar cycle. During this period, the Moon is between the Earth and the Sun, approximately on a straight line. To see the satellite in the night sky is quite difficult, since the celestial body is facing our planet with the unlit side. However, in clear weather, just before and immediately after the new moon, you can see a faintly illuminated disk - the Moon's ashy light.
According to astrologers, the new moon is able to "suck" energy from living beings, because during this period the Moon needs resources for further growth. A person in this phase can feel empty, lethargic and tired. Men react to the new moon more strongly than women. They may become more aggressive and irascible.
It is believed that the new moon is the darkest night of the month and at the same time the most emotionally unfavorable day. During this period, the mind is filled with mental dirt, anxiety, depression and self-esteem worsen. Astrologers say that you can get rid of the negativity inside yourself both with the help of a psychologist and on your own. To do this, you need to write out on paper all negative thoughts and burn it, thereby clearing yourself of the accumulated "dark" energy.
Physical exertion and active projects are better to postpone, as the body can be weakened. It is desirable to spend this day quietly, drink more water and try to relax the body. The New Moon will be a good time to meditate and take a relaxing bath.
