Eclipse season is finally over, but the lunar intensity continues with the Full Moon rising on April 12.
April’s Pink Full Moon occurs in the balanced and refined sign of Libra and is traditionally nicknamed the Pink Moon due to the reddish-toned flowers that tend to bloom in North America during this time of year.
While the dust of eclipse season and the recent Mercury retrograde is finally settling for many, the zodiac signs most affected by April’s Pink Moon may still have to deal with some cosmic drama.
We are currently in Aries season, and having the Sun in this fiery cardinal sign infuses everything with a revitalizing energy of zeal, motivation, and passionate drive. It has certainly been an intense season so far, as Mercury retrograde, Venus retrograde, and a powerful solar eclipse in Aries overlapped during the final third of March, creating a tornado of cosmic turbulence at the start of fall.
However, this Full Moon is rising directly opposite the Sun, in the sign of Libra — an air sign focused on partnership — offering all zodiac signs the chance to step back and observe the energetic dynamics in their lives with fresh perspective. Libra’s energy seeks to create harmony, synergy, and balance in all things, so strive to identify any imbalances in your life that need adjusting — if they’re not already clear.
Some people may feel even more sensitive to the emotions that surface during this lunation, as Chiron, the wounded healer, will be in exact conjunction with the Sun and directly facing the Full Moon, reminding you of your weak spots and emotional triggers.
Additionally, hotheaded Mars will form a tense T-square with the Sun, the Moon, and Chiron, activating the cardinal axis of the zodiac with friction and adding layers of frustration to the lunar mix. Call upon Libra’s innate sense of balance and diplomacy to navigate the tenderness and defensiveness that may arise.
The Pink Moon can help everyone cultivate more calm and poise in their hearts, but it will take intense work to get there — especially if you’re one of the cardinal signs of the zodiac.
Find out if your sign will be most affected by the Full Moon on April 12.
Aries (March 20 – April 18)
This Full Moon is stirring your relationships and your heart, Aries. Rising in your seventh house of commitments and partnerships, this lunation is holding up a mirror to all your close and cherished bonds. But more importantly, it’s showing you a mirror of yourself, allowing you to see your reflection fully.
When you build close relationships, they often force you to confront issues you’d otherwise easily ignore — and with the Moon facing off with the Sun and sensitive Chiron in your sign, you’ll likely need to begin working through many of your wounds and triggers. Doing so is the only way to reach deeper connection, honesty, and balance in your relationships, and you deserve that.
Cancer (June 20 – July 21)
The Pink Full Moon is rising in your fourth house of memories and home matters and is asking you to find stronger balance between your public and private life. Past issues may trigger sensitive emotions and doubts about your career and the legacy you’re leaving behind, but you need to feel these things in order to heal them. Instead of running from your insecurities, give yourself time to explore those tender points and find the root cause.
Also, passionate and action-driven Mars is about to complete a more than three-month tour through your sign on April 18 — so this lunation serves as a final major activation of that intense energy. The Sun, Moon, and Chiron will form a T-square with Mars in your sign, challenging you to stand out and channel your inner leader. Stand up for yourself and don’t let your fears keep you from reaching greatness.
Libra (September 22 – October 21)
Happy Full Moon in your sign, Libra! Aries season has had you examining your interpersonal dynamics and finding more independence in how you relate to others. But this Full Moon is challenging you to shift some of that focus inward. Relationships can bring pain at times, and a lot of emotions may surface under this lunation — especially when it comes to love and partnership. But it’s important to ground yourself in the truth that you are whole and complete on your own, regardless of who else is in your life.
If something someone else is doing is making you overly sensitive or anxious, use that as a catalyst for self-reflection instead of immediately getting lost in the trigger. Of course, there may be plenty of reasons why your tenderness is valid — but what’s most helpful is examining why it’s impacting you so deeply. Sometimes, a little distance is essential.
