In March, the spring equinox signifies the official commencement of spring. The daytime and nights have finally evened out, and the weather is warmer. The energy that was planted from the past month is expanding. This is the season of rebirth, growth and action. In April, spring is finally in full swing. We can use this period to harness the abundant energy available. While becoming an active participant in fulfilling our highest potentials.
The full moon in April is called the Pink Moon, and it is the first full moon to kick off spring season. Other April full Moon names include the Sprouting Grass Moon, the Egg Moon, Fish Moon, Hare moon and the Paschal Moon. These names are inspired by flowers, spring season, birth, eggs, Easter and fresh growth. The most common name is the pink moon. The pink moon is not actually pink, but the name comes from the blooming of spring flowers. This name’s origin comes from Native American tribes and their views of the first blooms in spring. The first blooms that inspired the pink moon are wildflowers that grow rampant in eastern North America during April. They are called pink phlox, “wild ground” phlox, creeping phlox, moss phlox or moss pink. These wildflowers grow abundantly, are densely packed, and when in bloom are beautiful shades of pink. They grow so abundantly that they cover the earth in blankets of pink. It is no wonder that the sight of these blooms would instill awe and inspire the name of the pink moon.
The April Pink Moon represents the rebirth and revitalization of all living things. During the spring, flowers and plants are in bloom, signifying that a new cycle of life is starting again. Life is growing and thriving. This is a season of new life, new beginnings and new opportunities. With many aspects of our lives, we can let go of the past and start fresh. In April, we can feel more emotional than usual. With so much growing energy, we can feel restless, scattered and lazy. If we do not have a way of redirecting and focusing this energy, we may feel lost or overwhelmed. Now is a great time to channel this extra energy into projects, hobbies, and learning new skills. Creativity and focus are also high, so explore creative activities to channel this extra energy. April is a time for new opportunities and action, so do not be afraid to work on your goals or dreams. The energy of April nurtures us and helps us jumpstart on what needs to begin. Whether you have been planning since January, actionable steps needed become clear. As we are reborn in this new season, now is the time for action.
April Full Moon in Libra
The energy of Libra is all about harmony, balance and equality. Libra is also the sign of relationships, beauty and justice. The energy of Libra helps give us clarity in our relationships. Libra energy is all about balancing our personal needs and the needs of others. When the moon is in Libra, the energy can also be a little chaotic because of the complex energy of the full moon.

It is also a time to organize what is chaotic in our lives. This is a good time for decorating your spaces as Libra energy has an eye for decor and sees the beauty in everything.
The energy of the full moon can amplify emotions and situations. As a result, we can also experience heightened emotions during the Libra moon. Although our emotions heightened, we are also aware of how it is affecting us. The Libra moon encourages us to share both good and bad feelings. The balancing nature of Libra gives us space to process our emotions and delegate these emotions into activities that serve us.
In April, we are in the peak of Aries season. This can cause a conflict between the assertive independent Aries energy with the diplomatic compromising Libra energy. There is tension between a “ME” vs. “WE” mindset. Remember to keep your cool and be kind if conflict arises. When you take kind actions, others will follow. Tap into the energy of Libra, to help resolve conflicts. As an air sign, communication skills improve and make difficult conversations smoother. There is a desire to keep the peace as Libra is known as the peacemaker. The Libra moon is all about compromise and strives to maintain relationships. This moon gives us the ability to use our charm and negotiation skills to help maintain balance, solve issues, or get what we want.
The Libra moon helps us evaluate our relationships and how we interact with others. This is a great time to reflect on how we interact with others as this helps us learn about ourselves.
