How to Celebrate the Pink Moon: Rituals, Reflections & Lunar Magic

As April’s full moon rises in the night sky, the Pink Moon casts a soft, enchanting glow over the earth. Despite its name, the moon itself doesn’t turn pink—rather, it’s named after the blooming of wild pink phlox, one of spring’s earliest flowers. This moon is a celebration of rebirth, growth, and the blossoming of intentions planted at the start of the year.

Here’s how to honour this magical moon and channel its energy into your life.

1. Cleanse Your Space (and Your Energy)

Before any ritual or celebration, it’s wise to clear away stagnant energy. Burn incense or sacred herbs like sage, rosemary, or lavender. Open your windows and let the fresh spring air in. You can also cleanse your aura by taking a ritual bath with salts, flower petals, and essential oils under the moonlight.

2. Create a Pink Moon Altar

Dedicate a space in your home to honour the moon. Decorate your altar with soft pinks and fresh spring elements—flowers, rose quartz, moonstone, candles, and anything that feels aligned with renewal and self-love.

Include a journal or piece of paper for your intentions, and place a cup of water on your altar to charge with lunar energy overnight.

3. Reflect & Release

The Pink Moon is a powerful time to reflect on what you’ve outgrown—habits, mindsets, relationships—and lovingly let them go.

Take a moment to journal:

• What have I learned since the last full moon?

• What am I ready to release?

• What is beginning to bloom in my life?

Write what you want to release on a small piece of paper and safely burn it, bury it, or tear it up under the moonlight.

4. Charge Your Crystals

Set your crystals out under the Pink Moon to cleanse and recharge them. Rose quartz, moonstone, amethyst, and clear quartz are especially potent under this moon’s energy. Place them on a windowsill, altar, or outside (if safe from moisture) overnight.

5. Do a Pink Moon Tarot or Oracle Spread

The full moon is an ideal time for divination. Use your cards to connect with the moon’s message for you. Here’s a simple 3-card Pink Moon spread:

1. What is blooming in my life?

2. What do I need to release?

3. What should I nurture next?

Trust your intuition and let the cards guide your next steps.

6. Sip Moon Tea & Set Intentions

Brew a gentle tea—rose, chamomile, or hibiscus are lovely choices—and sit quietly under the moonlight. Sip slowly, breathing in the moment. Whisper your intentions into your tea or write them down and keep them on your altar.

The Pink Moon reminds us that we are always in bloom—sometimes quietly, beneath the surface. Celebrate this full moon with softness, self-love, and sacred intention. Whether you dance barefoot under the stars or simply light a candle and breathe deeply, know that you are part of something beautiful and vast.

Blessed be.
