The Pink Moon is April’s special full moon. This year, it will shine bright in our sky in mid-April. Don’t be fooled by the name – the moon doesn’t actually turn pink! It gets its name from the pink phlox flowers that start to bloom in early spring.
This full moon is more than just a pretty sight in the sky. In astrology, the Pink Moon has special power. It affects all of us differently based on our zodiac signs. Let’s look at why this moon matters and how it might affect you personally!
What Makes the Pink Moon Special?
The Pink Moon has been important to people for thousands of years. Native American tribes named it after spring’s first pink flowers. They saw it as a sign that winter was truly over.
Other cultures around the world also celebrate April’s full moon. It marks a time of growth and new beginnings.
In astrology, the Pink Moon usually happens when the sun is in Aries and the moon is in Libra. This creates a balance between “me” energy (Aries) and “we” energy (Libra). It’s a perfect time to think about how your personal goals affect your relationships.
The General Astrological Impact of the Pink Moon
All full moons make our emotions stronger. The Pink Moon is especially powerful for bringing hidden feelings to the surface.
Full moons represent completion and release. The Pink Moon helps us:
- Let go of old habits that don’t help us
- Finish projects we’ve been working on
- See the truth in our relationships
- Connect with our deepest feelings
The Pink Moon’s energy is all about growth and renewal. It’s like nature in spring – ready to bloom and expand.
