April Full Moon
The full moon is on Thursday 6th April 2023, and it is called the Pink Moon. The Pink Moon refers to the colour of the blooming of a certain flower called Phlox Subulate or ‘Moss Pink’.
Pink Moon
For those who celebrate Easter, this is also called Paschal Moon as Easter’s date depends on this full moon.
Astrologically, the sun is in the fire sign of Aries (the Ram) while the moon is in the air sign of Libra (the Scales). The archetype of Aries is the energy of the warrior; the ‘go-getter’ and the energy of Libra is that of the judge and of balance.

What does this Full Moon ask us to consider?
During the New Moon we were asked the questions:
- Who would you like to be?
- If you could be anything, what would you be?
We were encouraged to dream bigger about ourselves than we’d ever done in the past.
The Devil
Then the Tarot message for April (the Devil), invited us to go within and to really know ourselves. We were being asked to look at ourselves objectively, then release attachments and inflexibility of beliefs.
So, the question then becomes, where do I go from here?
The fiery sign of Aries encourages us to be bold and brave and the balancing element of Libra reminds us to connect with our hearts and not to go off ‘half cocked’.
We need patience and compassion to understand both ourselves and those around us and this means having boundaries.
What are boundaries and is it okay to have them?
The definition of a boundary is ‘a line which marks a limit’.
The question we need to think about is: Where do I end and where does another person begin?
We need to find the balance.
Boundaries
When we don’t have boundaries, we:
- Can find it hard to say NO (it’s okay to say no!).
- Refuse to accept responsibility for an action we took.
- Expect respect from other people
- Struggle to separate our feelings from someone else’s feelings (empaths particularly need to be aware of this).
- Sacrifice our own needs to please another or put them before ourselves.
- Blame someone else for our problems or feelings
- Feel the victim
- Are submissive to another
- Allow someone to manipulate us emotionally (emotional blackmail)
Questions to Journal on:
- Where do I need to set boundaries in my life?
- When do I feel the victim?
- When do I deny my feelings or sacrifice myself to please another?
- Do I feel annoyed with myself when I do something for another person (when I was busy)?
Becoming aware of these shadows and bringing them into our consciousness is the path of healing ourselves and living with greater freedom.
