April is on its way, but the only joke played on April Fool’s Day will be the chaotic energy of the Pink Moon, which will peak at 10:11 p.m. EDT April 1.
Appearing in Libra, the Pink Moon brings renewed energy as the first full moon of spring. The new phase will highlight balance and clarity, specifically in relationships. Physical and psychological well-being will be affected. Now is a good time to meditate, get outside and journal as the moon will amplify communication and intimacy.
Aries (March 21–April 19):
Aries, the new energy of the moon pushes you to stop avoiding difficult conversations. You are being asked sincerely what you want. During this time, your passion is on overdrive, so be sure to think deeply before acting. As we continue to move through the Aries season, remember to go after what serves you, even if that means ending what you are in.
Taurus (April 20–May 20):
Love is your method for stabilization, and this week the moon guides you toward spaces and people that bring comfort and emotional security. Pay attention to the people who bring you peace, and cut off the ones who don’t. You can let in the people who deserve to be in, but it’s time to exile those who don’t.
Gemini (May 21–June 20):
Gemini, your relationship is center stage this week. This week begs you to get deeper or get out; you have been craving emotional bonds. Remember, it’s OK to want more, but you have to have honest conversations with others and yourself about who will give that to you. It might be time to walk away.
Cancer (June 21–July 22):
This full moon highlights your attachment patterns. You might have felt extra reliant on others and disappointed by your own expectations. Your tension will lift, and space is your gift for renewal. Go off the grid, escape patterns of codependency and remember the best person to rely on is yourself. Pay attention to what relationships support your peace, not threaten it.
Leo (July 23–Aug. 22):
This week is going to be an emotional mess for you, Leo. Expect major realizations in love and unexpected shifts in relationships. Stay open, as a new beau or best friend might come in and change your perspective entirely. Embrace the unknown this week and remind yourself that the goal of life is to change and grow; it’s time to rid yourself of stagnation.
Virgo (Aug. 23–Sept. 22):
Virgo, this week brings clarity and communication, things you have been deeply craving. The full moon pushes you to resolve conflicts and face misunderstandings head-on. In order to cultivate the best relationships, you need to say what you have been hiding. This week, challenge yourself to avoid escaping into your own mind. Instead, don’t think, take the leap and speak the direct truth.
Libra (Sept. 23–Oct. 22):
Libra, the new moon is in your sign this week, meaning a powerful time for you. This week, the focus is on your relationship with yourself. This time is all about self-awareness and asking yourself what it is you really need. Expect major emotional breakthroughs and honest conversations you may have been scared to have.
Scorpio (Oct. 23–Nov. 21):
Scorpio, you’ve been avoiding the connection right in front of you. The ball is in your court, and with the new moon, expect intense emotional bonding and passionate attraction in your connections. It’s time to take the leap of faith; what your heart desires will only be strong and meaningful if you take control.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22–Dec. 21):
For you, Sagittarius, this week brings a renewed sense of purpose. You might have felt isolated and down over the last month, but the new moon brings connection back in. The love you crave isn’t dramatic, and doesn’t have to be to be real. Take time this week to focus on relationships that feel consistent and freeing; ask yourself what is worth truly arguing over.
Capricorn (Dec. 22–Jan. 19):
Capricorn, this is a very emotional week for you. Vulnerability and emotional honesty will come center stage, and there is no longer time to hold yourself back. Whatever emotions are clouding your judgement this week, remember they do not hold power over you. Take a deep breath and remember you will figure it all out with time.
Aquarius (Jan. 20–Feb. 18):
Aquarius, your relationships, specifically those in your daily space, are center stage, whether it be roommates or a partner. Balance is the most important aspect for you right now. Remember, it’s always OK to protect yourself and walk away from people or things that don’t give you reciprocated energy.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20):
Pisces, put your seatbelt on. This new moon marks a major turning point in your love life. Now is the time for you to be sincere with yourself and remind yourself that unless it is everything to you, it is nothing. Expect to have to make deep emotional decisions. This might be a week where you find yourself in commitment discussions or on the receiving end of emotional confessions.
