As we welcome the warm weather of April, the Pink Moon will usher in new beginnings as we head into summer.
Celebrity astrologer Kyle Thomas, known for his cosmic advice to celebrities, businesses and online influencers, spoke to “Good Morning America” about the best ways to take advantage of this resourceful full moon.
First, let’s break down the meaning of the Pink Moon.
When is the Pink Moon in 2024?
According to Thomas, the Pink Moon will reach peak illumination on Tuesday, April 23 at 7:48 p.m. ET.
Why is it called the Pink Moon?
The Old Farmers’ Almanac, which began publishing the names of full moons in the 1930s, states that some eastern Native American tribes call the April full moon the “Pink Moon” because the name comes from the correspondence of the moon with the beginning of the moon. spring wildflowers.
According to NASA, this Moon is also known by other names, including Sprouting Grass Moon, Egg Moon, and, among coastal tribes, Fish Moon, because “this was when shad swam upstream to spawn”.
Other tribes are also said to have named the moon based on signs of spring. For example, the Old Farmer’s Almanac states that some Native American tribes called the April full moon “Breaking Ice Moon” and “Moon When the Ducks Come Back.”
What zodiac sign is the Pink Moon in April?
The zodiac sign of each full moon is determined by the position of the moon in the night sky in relation to the different astrological signs.
This year, the Pink Moon is positioned as a full moon in Scorpio, a water sign ruled by intimacy, sexuality, the shadows and the occult. As a zodiac sign, Thomas said Scorpio pays a lot of attention to how we share resources in our lives and in the world.
“Finding a balance between what we give and what we receive will be extremely important and any imbalances within these themes will be extremely important to confront,” he added.

From Chinese traditions to Hebrew holidays, many ancient cultures celebrate celestial cycles and often revere the power of the moon.
Thomas said that because Scorpio is a water sign and deeply focused on intimacy, sexuality, vulnerability, sharing and rebirth, these energies are amplified in the collective.
Since the sign is also linked to assets, investments, and big money matters, rituals focused on these themes would be powerful.
Since Scorpio is a water sign, using emotional transmutation and alchemy for manifestation can be very powerful. “However, using liquids such as water, essential oils and lotions can also be effective,” Thomas said.
Potential meditations, mantras, or journal prompts:
- I free myself from my fears, my traumas and my insecurities.
- I open myself to true intimacy and vulnerability.
- I will not let my past failures or fears in matters of love control me.
- I am a phoenix, always ready to be reborn and renewed.
