April 2025 Full Moon: The Pink Moon of Renewal

The Full Moon of April 2025, also known as the Pink Moon or the Easter Moon, graces the sky today, April 12th, and reaches its peak illumination at 5:22pm Pacific Time.

This moon gets its name from the early-blooming wildflower Phlox subulata, often called “moss pink. " It signals the awakening of color and life across the natural world. Spiritually, this moon invites us into a sacred space of emotional clarity, healing, and renewal, especially in our relationships with others and with ourselves.

Theme of Alignment: Harmony

The energy of this Full Moon is all about restoring harmony. As nature begins to bloom, we are called to assess what needs tending, what needs weeding, and what is ready to blossom in our lives. Whether it’s a relationship that needs nurturing, a habit that needs releasing, or a dream that is finally ready to take root, the April Pink Moon holds space for balanced growth.

This is also a powerful time to align your emotional well-being with external actions. The moon’s illuminating energy helps us see clearly and with compassion, especially regarding relationship dynamics. It invites us to make peace - with our past, with ourselves, and with those around us - so we may move forward lighter, freer, and more aligned with our soul’s purpose.

Harmony Garden Spell: Even if you don’t have a full garden, plant something - herbs like basil or mint or flowers like pansies or daisies. Infuse the soil with a bit of moon water and your spoken intentions. As you care for your plant, let it be a living reminder of the harmony you’re cultivating.
