The horoscopes show that not only is this week off to a strong start, but so is the month, thanks to the arrival of the Full Moon. However, astrology shows that this April 1st Full Moon is not just like any full Moon, but one that occurs in Libra. Furthermore, this very special Moon is known as the Pink Moon, a symbol of renewal.
Before getting into the main topic—the arrival of the Full Moon—a great practice, not for the horoscopes and astrology lovers, to engage in gratitude. The last days of the month leading into the first days of the next are an excellent opportunity to meditate or reflect on everything we experienced this month, in this case, March. Think about everything you faced and what you learned as a result of each challenge, and be grateful for all the experiences you had. This exercise will keep you grounded in your reality, so you don’t compare yourself to others as much.
It’s important to know that the Moon we’re seeing right now is known as the Pink Moon—not for astrological reasons, but because of folklore. This Moon gets its name from the reddish hue it sometimes takes on, but in reality, it refers to it being the first Moon of spring. Thus, this Moon represents renewal, new beginnings, and fertility; this is because, in ancient times, people marked the start of the planting season. For our lives today, this represents starting new projects, changing habits, and pursuing new passions.
Finally, we’ll discuss what it means for astrology that this April 1st Full Moon in Libra occurs while we’re in the solar season of Aries. Primarily, now that Aries is the ruling sign, those born under this sign will receive a greater amount of energy, feel more motivated, and be bolder in forging their own path. Aries is more direct, independent, and individualistic—not in a negative way, but in that they don’t let others interfere with their decisions. Libra, on the other hand, is the symbol of balance, and this is reflected in every aspect. Libras are calmer and more analytical due to their air element, and they typically consider the greater good, so they’ll try to avoid conflict by seeking a middle ground.
So this week speaks of a battle of energies that will make us feel bolder and more willing to take risks to try something new, to renew ourselves, but it’s not a leap of faith—rather, something more deliberate, something that brings balance to our soul. This season, horoscopes want us to question our structures; we’ll want to tear them down, we’ll want to reclaim that lightness, but we’ll think it through deeply.
