The beautiful full moon in April is known as the Pink Moon. And not just because our natural satellite looks like this on the night of this Wednesday, April 5, and early in the morning on Thursday, April 6, when it reaches its maximum point.
This year Pink Moon is the first in the spring seasonwhich began with the March 20 equinox, which is why it is also called the Easter Moon, an important lunar moon for Catholics, since Easter or Sunday depends on the date of this full moon.
To know how the April full moon affects our lives, we must understand its spiritual and astrological significance.
Why is it called the Pink Full Moon?
The old American and European colonial cultures distinguished each moon of the month by a name that allowed them to represent the season, so they not only “celebrated” the full moon, but the full season of the lunar month.
April full moon the first flowers of the American wildflower known as phlox, commonly referred to as “pink moss”. It is thanks to this plant that the Pink Moon owes its name, explains the Old Farmer’s Almanac.
The Spiritual Meaning of the Pink Full Moon
As the first full moon of spring in the northern hemisphere, The Pink Moon marks the season of rebirth. In nature, after a harsh winter, plants bloom and trees become more deciduous. Something similar happens to us, only this flowering is internal.
Astrologically, this is the first full moon of the astrological year, so this is an opportunity the Universe is offering us to let go of old negative habits and patterns to make room for the positive things we will receive from now on.
This moon is more special because it occurs under the sign of Libra., a sign of balance that encourages us to balance our lives, mostly personal relationships. Thus, the April full moon is the best time to heal the heart, reconnect with ourselves, find out what needs have not been met, and reconcile them with the interests of our loved ones.
How to use the energy of the Pink Full Moon?
The practice we can resort to is walking in the open air to be in touch with nature; thus we will receive the spiritual gifts of this spring lunar month. You can also practice full moon rituals.
As far as our relationship is concerned, the central theme will be internal control towards others, finding common ground and examining the inner feelings that come to us these days in order to correct what is needed, explained the astrologers at Bustle and PopSugar.com.
