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.
