Pink Moon – Letting Go in Spring

Pink Moon is a celestial event that you don’t want to miss! Why is it so special? You will discover that in this blog!

Once in a while we are treated to a Pink Moon, Blue Moon, or even Blood Moon. And that’s not even all of them! In this blog we discuss the special pink moon. For example, we’ll tell you about the influence of this ‘pink’ spectacle, when you can see it, and we explain where the name of this phenomena comes from. Are you reading along?

Pink Moon Meaning

Of course it would have been nice if we could tell you that the name originated because the moon turns pink. Unfortunately this is not the case. Sorry! But imagine a carpet of striking pink spring flowers, blooming beautifully, and full of fragrance. That’s exactly what this moon is named after. The timing of the pink moon coincides exactly with the blooming time of the pink flame flower. Ooooh, that’s why! By the way, did you know that the Pink Moon is also called Sprouting Grass Moon, Egg Moon, and Fish Moon?

When is the Pink Moon?

Each Full Moon has a different name. For example, you have the Snow Moon in February and the Worm Moon in March. Some even get an additional nickname, such as the Blue Moon, the second full moon in a month. As the name suggests, this doesn’t happen very often! But when does the “pink” full moon appear in the sky? The Pink Moon is the successor to the Snow Moon and Worm Moon, so in April!

Spiritual Meaning Pink Moon

Like the season in which the pink moon occurs, this pink spectacle is about renewal and rebirth. It’s the perfect time to clean up both literally and figuratively. A thorough spring cleaning is therefore a great Pink Full Moon Ritual! You could also renounce all unnecessary ballast you carry with you, everything that no longer serves you. You can do this by filling garbage bags, but an Energetic Cleansing is also a good idea. Smudge yourself and your home for a nice ‘fresh’ feeling!

More Rituals for Pink Moon

This letting go is of course accompanied by making space. The universe never leaves you alone, and with everything that is taken away, she makes sure that space is filled again. Often even with something better. And then you better make it clear to her what your wishes are! Spring is also about planting new seeds. While full moons aren’t necessarily about setting intentions, this one does! It’s the perfect time because it coincides with the new life that is emerging. The Pink Moon is a great time to let go of negativity and welcome a new life!

What Sign Does the Pink Moon Fall In?

A full moon always falls in the opposite sign of the zodiac Sun Sign at the time that it occurs. Not entirely illogical, because the sun and the moon are then directly opposite each other! Is the sun in the sign of Aries? Then the Pink Moon falls under Libra. This is about a balance between your own needs and those of ‘the other’. Themes such as love, relationships and harmony are also highlighted. Is it past April 21 and has the season of Taurus already started? Then the pink moon falls under the sign of Scorpio. This is all about transformation!

When is the Pink Super Moon?

A Pink Supermoon occurs when the pink full moon is extra low to Earth in April. This makes it appear as if the moon is larger than normal. Yet the super Pink moon is not necessarily larger than the ‘regular’ Pink Moon. This only seems so because she appears extra low on the horizon. And if you’re lucky, the sky will be completely clear! Then you can enjoy this special spectacle even more. It could even be that the moon turns a little orange or pink because it is lower to the horizon. The light refracts differently through the atmosphere, creating other colors! You could also feel the effects of this moon extra well. Get your tissues ready!
