This Full Moon on April 12 or 13, 2025, depending on where you are in the world, occurs with the Moon in the sign of Libra, emphasizing themes of balance, harmony, and relationships. Astrologically, this lunation invites reflection on how we navigate personal connections and the equilibrium between our individual needs (the Aries ♈️ Sun) and those of others (Libra Moon).
This Full Moon anlso involves Chiron in Aries, known as the “Wounded Healer,” which may bring unhealed wounds and relational patterns to the surface, offering opportunities for healing and renewal.
Additionally, Venus, the ruler of Libra, stations direct in Pisces just as the Full Moon peaks, marking a turning point in personal and relational dynamics. This alignment encourages emotional clarity and the potential for transformative connections.
Overall, the April Full Moon in Libra serves as a cosmic prompt to evaluate and harmonize our relationships, fostering a deeper understanding of ourselves and others.
This Full Moon is a Pink Moon and is a great time to cleanse and charge your crystals!
To cleanse your crystals under this moon:
1. Place them outside or on a windowsill where the moonlight can touch them.
2. Leave them overnight if possible—especially from dusk till dawn.
3. Set an intention as you place them out, like “I cleanse and recharge these crystals for healing and balance.”
Why is it a Pink Full Moon? The Pink Full Moon is the name given to the Full Moon that occurs in April. Despite its name, the Moon doesn’t actually appear pink—it’s called the Pink Moon because it coincides with the early springtime bloom of wild ground phlox, a pink flower native to North America. While you’ll see 12–13 full moons per year, only one of them is called the Pink Moon, and it doesn’t refer to the color—just the blooming of pink wildflowers in spring in the north.
This April Full Moon also has the significance of determining the date of Easter, which is celebrated on the Sunday after the first Full Moon following the Spring Equinox (called the Paschal Full Moon). I think it kind of magical that the Pink Moon and Easter align so closely this year—it adds even more energy of renewal, awakening, and spiritual rebirth.
