As I clicked on this thread it had 6666 views, no idea if that's meaningful.
It's a full moon tonight, the Pink Moon, and it's just rising now.
The name Pink Moon comes from the pink flowers – phlox – that bloom in spring. Other names for this Full Moon are Sprouting Grass Moon, Fish Moon, Hare Moon (also used for May's full moon), Egg Moon (the Anglo-Saxon name), and Paschal Moon. These names all refer to the birth of spring with grass sprouting, birds laying eggs, fish being more plentiful, hares breeding, and people planting seeds.
The first Full Moon in April is also known as the Paschal Moon in the ecclesiastical (Christian) calendar, because it is used to calculate the date for Easter; the first Sunday after the Paschal Moon is Easter Sunday. The ancient Hare Moon and Egg Moon names are often referenced a potential reasons for the emergence of the modern Easter Bunny laying Easter eggs.
Since the Pink Moon occurs in Scorpio while the new moon occurred in Aries, this particular lunar cycle is immensely powerful.
This is because both Aries and Scorpio are ruled by Mars, the most fiery and passionate of the planets.
The growth that occurs between such incredibly potent moon phases can be immense.
Since the Pink Moon will also sextile the ringed planet Saturn, ruler of discipline and stability, delivers in astrology can expect to see long-term changes to place.
So this is the perfect full moon to reorganise your daily routine, reinforce your relationships, and cut out any bad habits.
It should be a clear night so there should be some good views.
