"Full Pink Moon – April This name came from the herb moss pink, or wild ground phlox, which is one of the earliest widespread flowers of the spring. Other names for this month’s celestial body include the Full Sprouting Grass Moon, the Egg Moon, and among coastal tribes the Full Fish Moon, because this was the time that the shad swam upstream to spawn." -The Farmers Almanac
For people on the West Coast, the full moon in Libra arrives April 10th @ 11:08pm (PDT). This is an energetic full moon with a grand cardinal cross formed by eight planets. With a Mercury, Venus, Jupiter, Pluto, and Saturn all being in retrograde, expect volatility, ugly communications, shocking behavior, and surprising stress. The bright light of this airy Libra lunation will shine on the emergence of numerous psychological, intellectual, and/or mental tribulations. It will feel like we have both receptive and expressive aphasia-is it the information going in or the response coming out that is the problem? You can bet there will be issues of fairness or justice which will also come into play.
But this is also a transformative time. The chaos of the mind makes us realize we are not so sure of our plans, creating the space for change. This allows us to be uncomfortable with the status quo and light a fire under new intentions. We are also being called to be more kind, patient, and understanding as we are being inundated with powerful cosmic forces pressuring us to get going. The hard part will be surfing through the astrological retrograding planetary waves.
April is always a transitional month. Winter does not give way to spring easily. Just when the crocuses are coming up, an unexpected winter storm arrives. But we know the sun is shining longer and the temperatures are warming bringing renewed life. Hang in there, things will smooth out toward the end of the month.
