The Sun and Moon oppose each other in the sky, while the Earth resides in between the two planets. The juxtaposition and position of the planets create a glowing effect on the Moon that makes it look brighter than ever from the Earth’s perspective.
The full moon represents the culmination of the 30-day lunar cycle. All of the projects that we’ve been working on for the past month reach an ending or hit a pivotal turning point. Change and growth have happened. Now is the time to reflect and enjoy the fruits of our labors.
The Full Moon occurs on April 16 at 11:55 AM PT and 2:55 PM ET.
The Pink Full Moon gets its name from the pholus or moss that grows in North America.
The Full Moon in Libra squares Pluto and aspects Saturn, which means that resolving and evolving interpersonal relationships, self-love, and romance are at the forefront of our desires. Therefore, we can expect to experience transformation and growth within relationships and personal matters.
If situations or partnerships have been off-balance, this is a time in which implementing structure is necessary — even though it’ll take a lot of work. If you’re ready to roll up your sleeves and put the energy into bettering partnerships, mindsets, and ourselves then the Full Moon will be an extremely metamorphic and healing time.
Luckily, the Full Moon falls between the fortunate fixed stars Spica and Arcturus. This energy will add promise and positivity to the somewhat fraught connection of the Plutonian energy. We will want to win at all we do, giving us the power to take on matters that require a lot of effort, work, and determination. The good news is that we’ll prevail stronger than ever.
The energy of the lunation can be intense. Mediation is key for relaxation. Close your eyes and breathe in and out. Focus on the light that shines brightly within yourself to decompress. You can do this for as long as you like.
Light a brown candle to add balance and stability to your life. Write your intentions down on a piece of paper and place it under the candle (which should be burning in a bowl of water to call in the spirits).
Burn patchouli or camphor incense to cleanse the home, and spirit, and relieve stress. These scents will help to ground, heal, and awaken our energy. Therefore, it’s ideal for the Full Moon.

The first new moon of the astrological new year occurs on March 31 at 11:24 PM PT and April 1 at 2:24 AM ET in Aries.
This lunation aligns with Mercury and the centaur Chiron — all of whom are in Aries. Therefore, it’s a time of opening up and letting others know about our pain, trauma, and upsets. The only way to mend our hearts and to be free from these emotional hardships is to discuss them in order to let the healing begin.
The new moon is also a time to start implementing matters. We can create the life we want. Our goals aren’t too far out of reach and with the right amount of manifestation can happen. We are the ones in control at the moment and can make our dreams a reality.
This lunation is a great time to make amends with people from the past. Write a letter to a person that has upset you or that you’ve wronged. You don’t have to send it to them, but getting your feelings out on paper will allow you to understand your emotions on a deeper level. Plus, it will put the energy out into the universe that will help you towards forgiving the situation. When you’re done, rip up the paper to have all these sentiments expelled from your life.
Being that the centaur Chiron is in the mix of this luminary, we should manifest global peace. Take a blue candle and light it at the time of the new moon. Think about how you want the world to come together as one and heal.
Light a white candle (Although red is the color of Mars, the new moon occurs on Friday which is Venus’s day. You can always use a red candle if you want.) to open the pathways ahead of you. Carve your name and astrological symbol into the candle. Anoint the candle with a dab of almond or sunflower oil. Then roll it on crushed bay leaves, mint, and cinnamon. Set your intentions and light the candle to bring your dreams to life.
