Spring is here—and it’s time to blossom like the flowers. As nature awakens in soft hues and delicate petals, the April Full Moon, known as the Pink Moon, rises on the evening of Saturday, April 12, 2025, calling us to soften, realign, and bloom into our most radiant selves.
Despite its name, the Pink Moon won’t appear pink—but its energy is as tender and transformative as the earliest spring wildflowers. Also known as a micromoon, this moon occurs at apogee, when the moon is farthest from the Earth, making it appear slightly smaller and dimmer—yet no less potent in meaning. It’s also called the Paschal Moon, the first full moon after the spring equinox, which determines the date of Easter in many traditions.
Alternative Names for the Pink Moon
The most common names are:
Paschal Moon – Marks the first full moon after the spring equinox, used to determine the date of Easter.

Egg Moon – Symbolizing fertility, growth, and new life.
Fish Moon – Associated with spawning fish, representing abundance and nourishment.
Spiritual Meaning of the Pink Moon
While “Pink Moon” comes from the early blooming pink wildflower Phlox subulata, its spiritual significance is rooted in emotional healing, beauty, and rebirth.
The Pink Moon is all about fresh starts, emotional growth, and softening into your full expression. As cherry blossoms bloom and the days grow longer, this lunation invites you to:
Blossom beyond winter’s stillness and honor how far you’ve come.
Restore harmony in your relationships and inner world.
Realign your environment, self-care, and energy with beauty and balance.
Think of this moon as a spring cleaning for your soul—an invitation to make space for new connections, creative expression, and healing. This is a powerful time to reflect on your boundaries, nourish your inner world, and thrive unapologetically.

This Pink Moon shines in Libra, the zodiac sign of beauty, balance, and relationships. Libra’s influence encourages you to:
Seek harmony—in love, friendships, and your environment.

Tend to both your needs and others’—without sacrificing your peace.
With Venus (Libra’s ruling planet) ending its retrograde in Pisces on the same day, the vibe is romantic, dreamy, and emotionally rich—perfect for healing rifts, setting loving boundaries, and reconnecting with what makes you feel beautiful and whole.
