The April full pink moon falls on Easter Sunday this year meaning transformative changes are afoot giving many of us new hope or a fresh start for the future. But a warning, you could be “under siege” during your holiday.
The full moon will be in Libra, the diplomat of the zodiac, and the April 17th lunar event could be turbulent for the peace-seeking zodiac sign. For Librans and other cardinal air signs Aries, Cancer and Capricorn it’s going to bring up a lot of unrest in the subconscious and a need for self-protection. You will need to stay home over Easter to have more privacy to seek protection and nurturance.
However, home may not always be the best place over the holiday period if relatives are visiting – you can expect family arguments! This does depend on which area of your chart the full moon falls in, but there could be issues that arise with women and possibly your mother. The moon is the feminine energy and force, and usually of the feminine nature; but men have feminine energy too and may encounter problems as well.
The April full moon is also known as the “pink” full moon, but not because it’s pink in colour. The moon is named after the wildflower pink phlox that blooms in the United States at this time of year. The plant can represent rebirth and renewal and while it’s not spring in Australia, this full moon still signifies new beginnings that come from a new season.
For those who celebrate Easter, April’s full moon is called the Paschal moon, since the celebration’s date depends on when the Paschal full moon rises. Whether you are of Christian faith or not, the significance of the full moon falling on Easter Sunday this year is symbolically important, bringing with it hope and balance for the future.
We’ve just had an Aries new moon bringing new bold activity, so balancing your own needs with the needs of significant relationships becomes more important. The full moon rising on Easter Sunday – the day of the rising of Christ for those with Christian beliefs – is the peak of a cycle before a new cycle begins. With so much turbulence and despair occurring with global implications at the moment is certainly a time to reflect.
The full moon will signify going through a transformative experience where we gain insight and awareness about the dynamics between ourselves and others, then many of us can begin something new. It’s better to embrace it than to resist it, as what you resist persists. Try working on moving forward in a positive way rather than holding onto the past.
While everyone will be affected by the full moon’s influence, cardinal signs should take extra heed.
Your star sign mode is important because astrology is based on the seasons. Cardinal signs mark the beginning of seasons, followed by fixed signs in the middle of the season and mutable signs at the end of the season.
When can you see this month’s full moon in Libra? It will be reaching its peak on Sunday, April 17that 4.55am AEST.
