April 2024's Full Pink Moon in Scorpio and what it means for your sign
April’s Full Pink Moon lands in mysterious, transformative, intense Scorpio on 23 April – powering up plans, potential and all the big feelings as spring hits its stride. A full moon in Scorpio brings leap-before-you-look energy into our lives – inviting all of us to shed our inhibitions, find our focus and allow more passion in. So, if you’re ready to tear it all up and start over or tell someone how you really feel, now might just be the perfect time to throw caution to the wind.
April's full moon is called the ‘pink moon’ – which already sounds all kinds of magical, right? Read on to discover what part of your life this full moon is set to illuminate and where you might find the focus you need to switch things up for good.
What is a Pink Moon?
It’d be amazing if April’s full moon was actually pink, but it isn’t. It is, however, named after the pink wildflowers that would appear in North America around this time of year. That doesn’t mean it’s lacking in magic, though. As spring gathers pace, the full moon in Scorpio provides a perfect opportunity to shed an old skin and step into a new one. Whatever you want to do and whoever you want to be, the invitation is ready and waiting.
What sign does this Full Pink Moon fall in and what does that mean?
This full moon falls in intense water sign Scorpio, which is associated with the eighth house in astrology. This is the house of transformation, secrets, sex, passion, windfalls and other people’s money, making this an ideal full moon to let go of the weight of other people’s expectations and become more YOU.
What should I do to make the most of the full moon energy?
Full moons are magical portals for both manifestation and release, and this Pink Moon is no exception. Appearing as spring begins to heat up, this is a full moon for shedding the remains of winter as summer looms on the horizon.
Easy full moon rituals you can try include:
- Journaling using the prompt “In my best life, I wake up and…”
- Getting outside and moon bathing (charge your crystals while you’re at it!)
- Writing down everything you wish to let go of and burning the paper to ash.
- Lighting a candle and making a wish for your future self.
What does April's Full Pink Moon in Scorpio mean for me and my star sign?
