JACKSON, Wyo. — On Feb. 24, the Snow Moon will rise in the sign of Virgo. This is a time to challenge yourself to feel good enough as you are and channel the idea that “no two snowflakes are alike.”

Grounded Virgo energy encourages composure in your sense of self, so when the full moon energy illuminates what you consider our “shadow side” of emotions, it’s a chance to welcome that into a more conscious point of pride and expression. This month, find inspiration in how the unique forecast for your sign aligns with iconic winter species found in Jackson Hole:

Navigating the rocky terrain of relationships isn’t easy, but right now is a critical time for you to remind yourself that you are deserving of love. Put in the work to guide yourself to a place where you can feel stable, and don’t just run away because you perceive something to be scary. Let yourself enjoy the views.

Pisces

With all of the emotions that may be bubbling up, now is the time for hibernation over transformation. Cozy up with all your feelings and find ways to get comfortable sitting with who you are. Self-acceptance may actually come more from stillness than ambition. Let your natural intuition tell you when you’re ready to emerge, but don’t rush it.

While your impulsive, adventurous streak may be calling you to stretch your wings and do some traveling this winter, the best thing to do for yourself is roost close to home. This doesn’t mean being inactive, but taking inventory and making use of all the resources you need to feed your self-sufficiency on a day-to-day basis. Don’t sacrifice your basic needs for bigger plans.

Taurus

Sometimes you thrive being independent, but the key to sustaining your momentum right now is attaching yourself to the people you trust to help encourage you in your work or life goals. Teaming up this winter will give you the enthusiasm and validation you need to feel capable of bringing more to the table when motivation feels scarce.

It’s time to eradicate self doubt and trust in your ability to adapt to any situation. Leaning into this adaptability is the key to your success; don’t waste time wondering if you’re the right fit for anything, but instead explore all the different ways you can adjust to thrive in your current environment, even if that environment appears harsh.

Cancer

You’ve heard the saying “actions speak louder than words,” and that’s exactly what you need to drive you this month. Use your empathy to connect with others and provide for your immediate family and friends. You get what you give, and receiving acts of service will be incredibly validating. Now is not the time to be the lone wolf, but to feel confident with your place in your pack.

Love is in the air, but instead of seeking it out, foster it for yourself and the relationships you already have. Newness has its time and place, but the best boost of confidence you can get is reinvesting yourself in your already existing commitments. Fall back in love with who you are and the people who have stuck by you as you evolved.

Virgo

You need to start forgiving yourself for not being perfect and realize that your hard work is more than enough. Instead of constantly criticizing yourself, accept that your tenacity is what allows you to continue excelling. Focus on powering through the work in front of you and finding your strongest flow state to distract you from judging yourself on your performance.

Now is the time to start fully leaning into your creativity without being worried about what other people think. Use nature as your biggest resource and follow the beauty that feeds your soul the most. Don’t let expectations guide you, but find creative ways to be as present as possible and capture those moments to inspire you in the long-term.

Scorpio

Being part of a community is important, so make sure to temper your wild side with welcome boundaries that don’t just involve deciding what to exclude, but also involve deciding who to include and keep close to you. For everything you identify in your life that doesn’t serve you, make sure you’re finding an alternative so your refuge has sufficient resources.

Stop playing it cool and let yourself feel how you actually feel. You’re active this winter, and letting yourself be your quirky, natural self is imperative to sustaining your energy levels. See how you can stand out in the crowd and have fun with the ways that you change, making moves that feel more intuitive than pre-planned to keep you grounded.

Capricorn

You may have hit the ground running in 2024, but it’s important to remember that you don’t always have to hustle. While it’s important to forage for opportunity, hunkering down is also critical to balance out your behavior. Exert your energy in ways that can then enable you to take time off and den at home.
