Celebrating the Pink Full Moon
Today (on my location in the early morning hours just before sunrise) on April 6th we celebrate and honor the Pink Full Moon.
The Pink Full Moon causes us to experience heightened and strong emotional feelings and sensitiveness caused by Jupiter standing in opposition to the moon. At the same time Jupiter, in opposition to the moon, is responsible for expansion and growth. The Pink Full Moon also represents healing, growth, potential, rebirth and transformation out of the dark times into the better and warmer spring and upcoming summer times.
The Pink Full Moon standing in the Air sign Libra will keep us in uncertainty and will make decision making more difficult. Thus the Pink Full Moon in Libra motivates us to seek equilibrium in our emotions, find balance, harmony and peace with oneself and within our relationships. This can be achieved through seeking equilibrium in embrace and emotional bond with loved ones. The Full Moon in Libra is all about relationships, strengthening relationships and focusses on love, romance, sex and spending time with loved ones. She furthermore encourages us to open up for new interactions, possibly involving romance. The Air sing Libra is furthermore ruled by Venus, the planet of love and relationships which indeed makes it a powerful time to deepen our bonds with loved ones and explore new ways to connect with others.
It is also a time of reflection and so the Pink Full Moon is also associated a little with death, for example in our bond with deceased loved ones.
The Pink Full Moon also influences finances.
To honor the Pink Full Moon you can wear pink clothing, moon symbols, spend time surrounded by the blossoming wildflower Moss Phlox after which the moon was named, spend time with loved ones, go for a walk in the moonlight, perform a full moon ritual and cast a circle.
Personally I spend the day by wearing pink and then first going into the city with my mother to go for a lunch and buy an outfit for Beltane, which is upcoming at the end of April/beginning of May of course. After that we surprise visited friends who had bought and decorated a new house and drank some tea together. It was kind of funny because the astrology forecast in the timeframe of the Full Pink Moon said "we may feel drawn to healing professions" and the boy was studying for his exams to become a physiotherapist right before I knocked on the door, and he was very happy to see me since it had been a long long time. After this, we visited another friend to help prepare a wedding gift for her daughter and spend some time with her cat as well, which is a holy animal in connection to the moon. In the nighttime we wanted to go for a walk in the moonlight or go to the witches forest at the border either during midnight or early in the morning because the moon would be completely full right before sunrise, but we were so exhausted that we just watched the Pink Full Moon from our window instead and I listened to my devotional playlist while doing so.
This weekend we also have our village fest, which is annually being held around the time of the Pink Full Moon, there some celtic pagan bands will also be performing.
