Full Moon: April 1 - The Pink Moon

Quote: "The earth does not apologize for the upheaval of spring. To bloom is a radical act of letting go, trusting that the same soil that held your shadows is now ready to fuel your light." — Anonymous

April  brings the energy of the number 4 – it is the 4th month.  The number 4 is the number of trust, patience, organization and work; how things work, making things work, and working towards something that means a lot to you . 4 is the number of logic and intellectual reasoning. Plus we have April 4th - the 4th day of the 4th Month. The meaning of the number 44 is related to achievements, accomplishing goals, putting in hard work, and laying foundation or grounding. Seeing Master Number 44 can mean you are driven to achieve your goals, need reassurance to keep going, or need to build a foundation on which to build. Many believe the number 4 possesses energies of the Archangels.

Our theme for April is “Budding”. Since ancient times, people have associated the seasons with different energies. Spring is associated with rebirth and renewal.  As the snow melts and the ground softens, life is brought back to the earth. Nature begins her rebirth process and we are each invited to begin our rebirth process.  Spring is always a time when we are aware of transitions. This spring we are also experiencing a huge shift in consciousness and vibration. Take responsibility for your own shift, and stay in your own lane with regards to where others are in their own navigation.   As we continue to pray for peace in the world, we must also remember to have peace within ourselves.  

This time  is a call to recognize the oneness of humanity, to allow us to open to compassion. We have a window of time right now that favors subtle action-- prayer, energy work, meditation.  April is also the month we celebrate Passover and Easter. 

 April bring us the experience of flowers budding and plants beginning to grow.   Nature is “budding” and so are we.  Animals begin their mating season, bringing new life into this world. We feel this energy too. There is more life within us.  After the cold winter, we feel the joy and refreshing powers of spring. We begin to embrace being outside again.

Energetically April is a month to take risks and have faith, reaching for a better life, more meaningful relationships, increased health or whatever you want to manifest. Spring is the energy that can help it burst into life. When we think about transferring that to our spiritual lives, what it is we wish to experience this spring and even into summer?   How can we plant the seeds now for our desires to manifest?  Often, we can find when we get in touch with our higher self, we find inspired possibilities, new ideas and creativity. Some thought-provoking themes to consider:

 This is a time of initiating a new self, a new expression and a new experience.

Even in the midst of fear and suffering, keep your heart open; this will invoke a miracle. The symbolic “three days” between the crucifixion and the resurrection represents the time it takes for a situation to transform from fear to love. Have patience and faith during the “tomb time” in between the two. Things might still appear dark, but the light is coming.
— Marianne Williamson
  • What do you want your life to feel like?

  • What is out of balance and needs to be trimmed?

  • Are you in balance with your doing and your being, giving and receiving? 

It is an exciting time, a difficult time, an unstable time as Spring always seems to be.  Metaphysically the Earth is giving birth to a new landscape and we can work with that energy to bring new experiences into our lives.  


The Full Moon in April is 4/1

April’s full Moon rises on April 1st Traditionally called the Pink Moon, this full Moon is also the Paschal Full Moon this year. Here’s everything you should know about the Moon this month, including facts, folklore, and Moon phase dates. 

This year, April’s full Moon is the first full Moon of the spring season, which began with the spring equinox on March 20. This means that April’s full Moon is the Paschal Full Moon—an important Moon to those who celebrate Easter, since Easter’s date depends on the date of the Paschal Full Moon.  Easter is celebrated on the first Sunday after the Paschal Full Moon (i.e., the first full Moon of spring), which means that it will be celebrated this year on Sunday, April 5 (following the full Moon) 

Why Is It Called the Pink Moon? The full Moon names used by The Old Farmer’s Almanac come from a number of places, including Native American, Colonial American, and European sources. Traditionally, each full Moon name was applied to the entire lunar month in which it occurred, not only to the full Moon. Although we wish this name had to do with the color of the Moon, the reality is not quite as mystical or awe-inspiring. In truth, April’s full Moon often corresponded with the early springtime blooms of a certain wildflower native to eastern North America:  creeping phlox or moss phlox—which also went by the name “moss pink.”  Thanks to this seasonal association, this full Moon came to be called the “Pink” Moon!

Crystal of the month for Aquamarine

Aquamarine harnesses the soothing and cleansing powers of water. Associated with the water element, this stone powerfully nurtures and renews one’s emotional body. It emits gentle, compassionate energy and inclines people towards service and generosity. Useful for dealing with change, it connects to the transitioning of the seasons, from winter to spring.

In the language of gemstones, aquamarine represents happiness, hope and everlasting youth. In ancient times, aquamarine was thought to protect those at sea. It was believed to make sailors fearless and safe from adversaries on the open waters.
