The February #full #moon will occur on Sunday, Feb. 5 at 1:28 p.m. EST, 10:28 a.m. PST, or 18:28 GMT. The indigenous Anishnaabe (Ojibwe and Chippewa) people of the Great Lakes region call the February full moon Namebini-giizis "Sucker Fish Moon" or Mikwa-giizis, the "Bear Moon". For them, it signifies a time to discover how to see beyond reality and to communicate through energy rather than sound.

The Algonquin call it Wapicuummilcum, the "Ice in River is Gone" moon. The #Cree of North America call it Kisipisim, the "the Great Moon", a time when the animals remain hidden away and traps are empty. For Europeans and others, it is known as the #Snow Moon or #Hunger Moon.
