Tomorrow night, April 1st, the Pink Moon reaches peak illumination at 10:12 PM Eastern Time.
It's the first full moon of spring, and it marks a turning point in the season. The flowers are blooming, the days are getting longer, and the night sky puts on a show.
The Pink Moon gets its name from moss pink, also called creeping phlox, one of the earliest wildflowers to bloom in spring across North America. Bright pink petals carpet the ground right around the time this moon appears, so early settlers and indigenous communities named it accordingly.
Different cultures have their own names for April's full moon. The Algonquin called it the Breaking Ice Moon. The Dakota named it the Moon When the Streams Are Again Navigable, marking the moment when rivers and lakes thawed enough to travel. The Lakota called it the Moon When the Ducks Come Back. The Tlingit named it the Budding Moon of Plants and Shrubs.
All of these names point to the same thing. Renewal. Growth. The return of life after winter.
This particular Pink Moon also determines when Easter falls this year. In Christian tradition, Easter is celebrated on the first Sunday following the first full moon after the spring equinox. That makes this the Paschal Moon, and Easter will be on Sunday, April 5th.
This year, the Pink Moon also falls on April Fools' Day, which is just a funny coincidence.
The moon falls in Libra, which astrologers say brings themes of balance, relationships, and harmony. Whether you follow that or not, there's something undeniably powerful about watching a full moon rise during the season of rebirth.
Spring is here. The flowers are blooming. And tomorrow night, the moon reminds us of that.
