2023 - APRIL FULL MOON

Hello everyone!

This week we get to benefit from enjoying the wonderfully nourishing energy of our April full moon on Wednesday AND Thursday.  She is fullest at 12:37 am Thursday morning, April 6th, 2023. 

I am sure that March's impact was felt by all of us.  March left us having an "urgency" of sorts where we felt the need to purge and tidy up our environment as well as our minds.  It was a chaotic month preparing us for what's to come.  This was imperative as we are in a tremendous state of transformation this year!   This reminds me of a song from 1969, "The Age of Aquarius" by the 5th Dimension.  All the planets are aligning to impact each and everyone of us.

Since the start of March's full moon on March 7th, we've felt uneasy.  This continued until the equinox on March 21st, because we were nudged to make room for what's next to come!  This is a year of truth and "finding our feet".  We'll be feeling the urge to find truth in areas we have interest, as well as the desire to be truthful not only to others, but to ourselves.
"Finding our feet" means we will get a clearer understanding of our purpose, and will be eager to know how to get there.  It will be a year of new discoveries about ourselves and the environment in which we live.  Get ready, folks, growth is coming whether we want it or not!

April's full moon is a Pink full moon, named for the emerging blossoms of spring - most notably the pink phlox.
Because she will be in the 'balance and justice' sign of Libra, it will push us for more harmony in our social, as well as intimate, relationships.  Libra is all about healthy connections with people and actively searching ways to build those connections.  It's time to ask, what relationships inspire us to be the best version of our selves?  By inviting the correct people into our circle, it will strengthen supportive bonds which, in turn, will encourage the healing that we may need.  

Some of us may have been striving for extreme independence.  This full moon will align us with a correct balance, showing us the importance of having a connection with others. 
Sometimes, old wounds can entice us to hide away from others, and we may take on the attitude of, "I can do it on my own". 
This month's healing lunar energy will help us to remember that past hurts do not have to stop us from feeling authentic at our core.  We can choose to heal the wounds, or perhaps just accept those deeper wounds as part of what we've endured - but not become. 
Then, we can live wholly with a new gentler attitude by starting with a more positive vibration.  Welcome in supportive people who will reinforce the need for human interaction.  It's a perfect time for this to happen due to better weather coming which will get us outdoors more.

This gentle moon also knows that everything has energy that connects us all.  She reminds us how important it is to be in harmony with the people we encounter, and also with everything that is living.  Pause, know this fact, and ponder the importance of treating everything and everyone the way you want to be treated.

As a final reminder, take advantage of the cleansing energy that full moons offers us by bathing any crystals/stones outdoors in her moonlight, or on a window ledge.  For the crystals that can be in water, gently wash them prior to having them recharge in the moon's light.

Until next month!
