If you thought April was just a month of rain and pollen, think again. On April 13, a so-called pink moon – a full moon in the sign of Libra – will appear in the sky, bringing with it an emotional tsunami that will be a personal lunar reality check for many.
No, the sky won't be colored pastel pink (sorry, Instagram filter not included), but pink full moon nevertheless, it carries a strong symbolic meaning – it is the first full moon after spring equinox, which carries the energy of rebirth, purification, and inner balance. And because all of this is happening under the sign of Libra, the astrological symbol of harmony and justice, we can expect a real test of our relationships in the days around April 13th – from romantic ones to those we maintain purely out of habit (or courtesy).
Libra – the zodiac queen of balance (and passive aggression)
If your emotions have been tossing around like leaves in a spring breeze in recent weeks, then let us comfort you: you are not alone. The full moon in Libra is not just that – it brings the culmination of everything that has been (too) quietly building up in your heart, mind and, yes, even in your relationships. We will feel its energy for at least another two weeks – as a slight tremor underfoot, or as a drama in three acts.
The sign of Libra is a symbol of balance, justice and… diplomatically turning a blind eye when things don't go according to plan. And Libra will hold up a mirror to all relationships with the full moon – love, friendship and business. If the relationships are solid, they will bloom like cherry blossoms on Instagram. But if they stand on shaky foundations – well, let's just say that “unsubscribing from the group” can happen.
Time for a personal reality show
The full moon acts like a spotlight on the stage of life: what no longer works becomes unbearably obvious. But don't panic – it's not the end of the world. Just a signal that it's time for change. New chapters. Time to say "no" to what's draining you and "yes" to yourself. Just no drama, please (or at least - if you do, keep it classy, with a good soundtrack).
What can you do around a full moon? (Hint: it's not the time for impulsive shopping decisions... or is it?)
If you want to harness this energy – not just to survive, but to to bloom – then here are some lunar aids for internal reset:
Write a journal – old school introspection. Write down what's bothering you and what you're true you want. You will be surprised what is hidden between the lines.
Meditation – because sometimes silence says more than 17 analyzed conversations with your ex.
Honest conversations – with people you love (and who return your love, not emotional bills).
Spring cleaning – not just closets, but also energy. The space we live in always speaks about us.
Sleep – yes, that counts as a spiritual practice too. The moon can mess with your biorhythm, so give yourself one good, solid night without scrolling through TikTok at 3am.
The end of compromise, the beginning of love (for yourself)
The full moon in Libra reminds us that there is no need to suffer. There is no need to remain silent. And above all – there is no need to persist in relationships that have become an emotional diet. This is a moment to choose yourself. Not out of ego, but out of love. And this is not just an astrological cliché, it is – if you are willing to listen – an invitation to true transformation.
So: let the moon shine, and you stand up for yourself. Balance starts with you.
