A supermoon arises when the new or full moon is perigee, which means that it’s closer to Earth than usual. The next supermoon will occur at the full moon on 26 April, when the Taurus sun and Scorpio moon oppose each other in the sky, lighting up Earth’s atmosphere. It’s known as the ‘pink moon’ – but of course, it isn’t actually pink. Instead, its name comes from the wild ground phlox (mossy pink flowers) that bud in North America during this time of the year. Spiritually, this lunar phenomenon signifies a time of rebirth and reflection as we embrace spring.
On the evening of the pink supermoon, its gravitational pull will be felt emotionally in many ways. Feelings will run deep, truths will be revealed, the desire to commit to others will be strong and the need to change with the times will be essential to personal growth.
As the supermoon aspects action planet Mars and rebellious Uranus, we can expect major shifts to happen – most of which we didn’t see coming. Don’t fear or resist the change that the cosmos brings. It will revolutionise your life for the better, in unexpected ways. It will also end the emotional cycle that began on 22 April 2020, during the new moon in Taurus. What are the lessons we’ve learned since then? What are we willing and wanting to let go of?
A great way to celebrate this occasion is to honour the moon. A bath with healing crystals such as carnelian, clear quartz and flower jasper along with Epsom salts will rejuvenate your body, mind and spirit. It will also help cleanse your aura, raise your energetic vibration and recharge your life force.
What does the pink supermoon have in store for your star sign?
Aries
This isn’t the time for making investments, Aries, but consolidating existing debts and making good on payments owed may prove vital. Conversely, you may be asked for a financial loan by an acquaintance. Although you want to help them out, you should put yourself first. The lesson to be learned is that you do not have to extend your wallet to everyone. Make sure you can afford your lifestyle before agreeing to any conditions. The supermoon is guiding you to making the financial choices that work for you.
Taurus
The supermoon will strengthen all the partnerships you are emotionally invested in. The sense of security in your intimate relationships has recently felt off-balance. Now, things are beginning to change as your relationships begin to flourish and grow — if you are willing to watch them take off. You’ll no longer question the intentions of those you care about, as you’re seeing them at a soul level. You can finally overcome your hesitations and connect with them. Their loyalty won’t waver in the face of relationship ‘tests’ you have put them through.
Gemini
Let the pink supermoon breathe new life into your world, Gemini. Adding a few inspirational and motivational touches to your day-to-day activities can help you create the work experience that you crave. Brighten up the workstation in your home with flowers, inspiring colours and funny pictures. By adding positive vibes to your desk, you can level up the daily tempo of your energy and create a pleasant environment for yourself. This will also allow you to be optimistic and outgoing with colleagues and find fulfilment in the professional projects you are currently undertaking.
Cancer
The supermoon is highlighting the need to let your creativity shine. Nurturing a hidden talent will give you the encouragement to embrace your artistry and express yourself. Picking up a guitar, painting a mural, cooking a meal or planting flowers will allow you to showcase your gifts to the world. If you embrace this part of yourself that has been brewing beneath the surface and wanting to come out, you’ll feel emotionally fulfilled and aesthetically lifted under the supermoon’s radiant glow. You may even want to take your brilliance to the next level.
Leo
The lunar glow is making you see the cracks in the foundations of your relationships — none of which can be ignored anymore. Challenges in righting the wrongs you’ve done to others (and vice versa) will persist now. Keep in mind that you don’t have to forgive and forget, but use the supermoon’s potent transformative energy to be honest with yourself about your emotions and limits. By acknowledging the problems with others and your role in the situation, you will be able to start the healing process with those with whom you want to reconcile and also within yourself.
Virgo
This supermoon is helping you boost your confidence. Rather than listening to what people have to say about your actions and decisions, you are starting to see that you have to live your life for yourself and are on the right path towards attaining greatness. The pink supermoon is illuminating your inner tenacity and power by showing you that your strength is unlimited. You are your own champion. Nobody’s opinion matters except yours. You can attain anything your heart desires during this luminary, if you lean into the affirmative energy and drop the negativity that’s been holding you back.
Libra
The pink supermoon is pushing you to be completely honest with others about your feelings. Your heart is wanting to be seen in its rawest and most beautiful form right now. Rather than holding back your emotions, the supermoon is insisting that these sentiments come to light. Although it may be hard to speak your truth because you do not want to offend anyone, you’ll find that it’s essential in growing and deepening your intimate relationships. Getting to the bottom of situations and expressing your truest emotions will elevate the connection you have with others, and with yourself.
Scorpio
Like a phoenix rising from the ashes, you have the power to become the best version of yourself during the pink supermoon. The universe is urging you to let go of everything from the past that’s been weighing on you (heartbreak and emotional upset). Listening to the supermoon’s call to release the past will allow you to move towards a new vision and life (the dream you have always wanted). Your innate determination to evolve won’t let anything stand in the way of transforming during this luminary.
Sagittarius
Although you are known for having a direct and upfront demeanour with others, you’re not willing to share your secrets with your friends and family. The reason for your newfound clandestine nature is due to the supermoon’s call for you to protect your heart. Your guard will stay up until you know that loyalty and trust exist within these close relationships. The supermoon will urge you to discuss parts of yourself that are pertinent for the time being. Once you see that they aren’t judging you, then you will open up to them tenfold.
Capricorn
Comparing yourself to others isn’t healthy for your wellbeing. Although you radiate confidence, you are finding that you aren’t in the same professional place that your colleagues are, which is making you feel jealous. Luckily, the pink supermoon will let you take stock by allowing you to note how blessed you are in other capacities. Everybody wants to rule the boardroom, but not everybody has the personal success you do. Chances are, others are envious of your happiness. The grass may be greener on the other side, but your garden is lush and prosperous.
Aquarius
The supermoon is making you take a hard look at the lack of direction in which your career is headed. Simply put, you’re wanting to take on more responsibilities and projects. However, your boss is in strong opposition to letting your career flourish and in prohibition to expanding your professional horizons. The supermoon is giving you the motivation to be proactive. Rather than being quietly upset, it is pushing you to do something about these issues. Looking for another position in the company or elsewhere will allow you to step up your professional game and be happy.
Pisces
You often worry about the future before the events have begun to unfold. The result of your fretting prohibits you from being free to act on your impulses – which the pink supermoon is encouraging you to do. Stop worrying about what can happen and focus on being present. Allow yourself to be fully engaged and open to new experiences. This lunar occurrence will show you that living in the moment can take you to great emotional heights. Tell your loved ones how much you care about them, buy a lottery ticket and try existing outside your comfort zone. Seize the day.
