The first full moon of spring is here! On April 1, at 10:12 p.m. Eastern Time, the Pink Full Moon in Libra rises as the phlox subulata (the vibrant pink flower the full moon is named after) burgeons brightly. We can meditate on our goals for the upcoming lunar cycle as our current one ends. Truths will come to light, and revelations will be made due to the moon’s illumination on Earth.

Otherwise known as the Paschal Moon, the celestial event marks a divine moment. The so-called Ecclesiastical Moon defines the timing of Easter and Passover, which typically occur on the Sunday after the Spring Equinox in the Northern Hemisphere. Spiritually, the Pink Moon offers us a prospect of renewal and rebirth as we honor a time of seeing the light after months of darkness. At this moment, we have an opportunity to redefine our boundaries, desires, and relationships.

Astrologically, the full moon in Libra represents companionship, mediation, and diplomacy. This year, the Pink Full Moon squares off against the expansive planet Jupiter, which is in the sign of Cancer, offering us protection and sanctuary. When they collide, it’ll make us yearn for comfort and stability, since we’ll feel off-kilter. Staying in the now might be challenging, but it is imperative that we do not overthink and live through our hearts.

Read your horoscope for the Pink Full Moon in Libra below:

Aries

There will be tests in relationships that require problem-solving. The Full Moon offers a chance to find remedies that work for both you and others. All that matters is how you choose to handle the issues that arise. Lean into the power of the lunation to heal partnerships and encourage yourself to move forward. Compromise is key at this moment.

Taurus

Big declarations are being made about how you wish to live your life now and in the future. Before committing 100% to one particular way of being, leave wiggle room in case you need to mend your current path. The only way to maintain structure is to find a middle ground in your beliefs regarding what is ideal for you.

Gemini

You’re in the mood to take a chance when it comes to love. If there is someone in particular you want to express your feelings to, the Pink Full Moon is the moment to do so. Since you're a wordsmith, it won’t be hard for you to find the right way to express yourself. Get creative and poetic, Gemini!

Cancer

Beautifying your home will not take any extra effort because your creativity and imagination are at a high. With your sharp aesthetic vision, it will be easy to find complementary decor that aligns with your persona. Do not ask people for their opinion, as it'll confuse your plans. Trust your instincts and paint the walls whatever color speaks to your soul.

Leo

A short trip out of town is going to offer you a temporary break from mundane responsibilities. Make sure you don't take on too much right now, and find an equilibrium in your daily activities to maintain a healthy work-life balance. While away, schedule a massage or attend a yoga class to foster a sense of personal harmony and peace.

Virgo

Be ready to boss up and take dominion of situations that are seemingly out of your control (but won’t be for long) to help attain a sense of security. The lunation offers claritys into how you can and should accomplish such endeavors. If you have to confront matters or people, state your feelings and opinion with kindness to avoid arguments.

Libra

You are wearing your emotions on your sleeve, wanting to forge a connection with others—and more importantly, with yourself. Use this time to acquire a more definitive awareness of your fundamental values and virtues. Pretty soon, you’ll look for these qualities in others to ensure they align with your core sentiments. As a result, you will feel seen and understood.

Scorpio

You’ve been craving some downtime, which is why the Full Moon is the perfect opportunity to step back and de-stress. Centering your energy isn’t just cathartic and calming; it’ll also serve as a reminder to step back and mellow out. No matter what is happening in your universe, taking care of yourself is important—deem this task your cosmic homework.

Sagittarius

Being accountable for your part in a disagreement is pivotal. By accepting and owning your shadow self, you’re not just taking responsibility; you are mending your spirit. Consider this a gentle cosmic push towards not only healing a friendship, but also your heart. This is the first step on the road to recovery. If anyone can do it, it’s you!

Capricorn

Sharing your wealth with others doesn’t necessarily mean giving them money. Allowing them to revel in your success and be a part of your moment is a gift enough—they’d do the same for you. Through their lens, you’ll understand that supporting each other is the glue that holds your bond together. That is a big piece of a union and intimacy.

Aquarius

Even though you’re known for your unique demeanor, your desire to take a walk on the wilder side is giving you an edge, revolutionizing your perspective and challenging the status quo. Regardless of how you assert your beliefs, having a radical mentality elevates your mind and intellect. Opening yourself up to inventive ways of thinking is a wonderful investment.

Pisces

You’re not averse to being in the limelight; however, you are realizing that this comes with a price. People will criticize your personal and professional decisions. As long as you do not pay attention to the negativity and relish in the prosperity of your achievements, you’ll thrive. Create the reality you deserve by focusing on the positivity orbiting your aura.
