Read the horoscopes for today, April 12.
April’s full moon is nicknamed the Pink Full Moon because of the phlox flowers that blossom in spring across North America.
This year’s April lunation happens to be a micromoon — which is the opposite of a supermoon. Micromoons occur when the moon reaches peak fullness when it’s far from Earth’s orbit and therefore appears smaller than usual.
Another nickname for the April lunation is the Paschal Moon, since it’s the full moon that coincides with Passover and falls before Easter.
How can you see April 2025’s full moon?
The Pink Full Moon in Libra occurs on April 12 at 8:22 p.m. ET, ushering in a weekend of desire and creativity. The moon will appear full for about three days.
What is the astrological meaning of April 2025’s full moon?
Within astrology, full moons always denote times of release. However, each full moon takes on the flavor of the astrological sig it’s in, plus whatever else is happening in the cosmos.
The full moon in Libra calls for harmony and balance in life — particularly in relationships.
This specific moon squares the action planet Mars, urging us to fight for what we need in matters of love. Dynamics that aren’t even keeled will be brought back to center, with a little push.
The fortunate fixed star Spica links up with the moon, lending us luck in endeavors and the ability to make good choices that are beneficial to our lives.
The same day, Venus, which has been retrograde in Aries and Pisces since March 1, turns direct. The planet of love and money is beginning to move forward in Pisces, allowing us to retrace the steps we made last month and make better choices. We are making decisions about relationships and finances.
The sun and Chiron connect in Aries, offering a chance to heal. We will have the opportunity to make up with those we’ve been in conflict with recently. All might not be forgotten, but this is a chance to let go of some resentments. Listen to others with an open mind and heart.
What are full moon rituals?
There are a few ways to honor the energy of the full moon, if you so choose. Astrologers recommend using the three-day period of the full moon to journal and reflect, indulge, clean your space and reach out to people and make amends.
Think of the full moon as a nesting energy. You want to release burdens, forgive and do whatever you need to in order to fully enjoy the moment.
This is how the full moon will affect your sign
Aries
Your support system will change quite a bit, allowing you to see friends for who they are. There may be some tension within your peer group, but you can disengage from the situation by focusing on yourself.
Taurus
This day highlights changes at work, especially with your colleagues. Your coworkers are moving on and leaving their positions for greener pastures, which means responsibilities and work piling on your already heavy load. Just be careful not to burn the candle at both ends this month.
Gemini
Money isn’t an issue, as you can put your artistic talents to use and get your side hustle on. Sharing your creations will also show the world your gift. Think about where you can start a side hustle.
Cancer
You may have the urge to redecorate your home, as you are longing for professional inspiration and motivation in your dwelling. After all, working in an elegant, lovely, and creative environment is key for your artistic professional endeavors. Just don’t go too wild and overspend on this project.
Leo
You may think people are judging you, but you’re judging yourself. Stop being so hard on yourself and understand that you’re human. No one is perfect (even if you’re pretty close).
Virgo
You may decide to return a few purchases made today later on. This will also allow you to have a better financial system, which will save you from many stresses and meltdowns in the future.
Libra
The cosmic vibe makes you feel self-doubt, especially from your partner. But you also have a chance to rectify things. The full moon energy gives you the chance to give your relationship one more shot, which may prove successful if you both set boundaries with each other.
Scorpio
Turn your phone off and log out of social media before you text and post something you regret. You don’t want everyone to know your messy business or overshare information you’ve recently heard. Step back and disconnect while you process recent frustrations.
Sagittarius
Your crew is trying to assert their dominance over you, which is frankly a mistake because no one can control you. The intense energy may spill over into the professional sphere of your life, which is why it is best to meditate on the best course of action before reacting.
Capricorn
Recognition is coming your way. Although you’re succeeding at work, you’re also feeling humbled in your personal life, so strive to provide more attention to your family and home.
Aquarius
The full moon shines its light onto your hopes and dreams. You will begin to rebuild your self-esteem. You will come to see yourself as a person of worth. Take a look in the mirror and embrace your fabulousness. You are all that and much more.
Pisces
There is a monetary silver lining to the full moon’s intense energy. Your confidence is at a high, allowing you to regain your financial power and self-esteem from those who aim to keep you down.
