The full moon on February 22, 2016 is known as Snow Moon, Ice Moon or Wild Moon. The ruling sun sign is Pisces, which gives us a full earth moon in the opposite sign Virgo. Wiccan rituals include spells to purify the mind, body and soul. Nature always fills a void, so any negative energy that you release must be consciously replaced with positive vibrations.
As this full moon occurs during daylight hours in the western hemisphere, (1:20 pm in Toronto and New York; 6:20 pm in London), you can place your tools and talismans out for cleansing and charging on the evening of February 21st. You might want to perform your ritual on that date as well.
In Australia and the far east, the full moon reaches its peak in the morning of February 23rd, so you may perform rituals on the evening of the 22nd.
