2025 Full Pink Moon Ritual

The Full Pink Moon in Libra for 2025 will peak at 6:23 PM, MST – 23 Lib 20′. It is the first full moon of Spring. We call April’s Full Moon the Pink Moon because of one of the earliest blooming spring flowers, the pink Phlox, starts to flower around this time. Other names for April’s Full Moon are the Sprouting Grass Moon, the Frog Moon, Broken Snowshoe Moon, the Fish Moon, the Hare Moon, and the Egg Moon. It’s also called the Sucker Moon, the Sugar Maker Moon, the Breaking Ice Moon, the Paschal Moon, the Seed Moon, and Growing Moon.

Unlike some other months, as a whole, all of the names for the April Full Moon are tied to the changing season and the arrival of spring. It’s no wonder the Full Pink Moon ritual is an annual favorite. It, like the season of spring itself, is a time of renewal and rebirth. Plus, there’s something magickal about the color pink. It makes people think of love, happiness, newness, and creates an overall sense of happiness. Spiritually, the timing is perfect for cleansing. As we clear the dust from our houses, allowing the fresh air to come inside, we should also release the negative energy that has been cluttering our lives, and allow positivity to come in. It’s time to cast of the weight of those things which are holding us back from achieving our greatest and highest version of ourselves. Our ritual tonight is rooted in the idea of living in harmony with the land and honoring the sacredness of life’s rhythms.

Opening the Circle

Full moon night, blessed light, magick realm within my sight. No present nor past, this circle cast, our place to think, our lunar link. Between the worlds, for now we dwell, to freely cast our magick spells. This Full Pink moon circle is open!

East – the Direction of Air

Look to the East, the realm of the Air Spirits. Seek and you shall receive the breath of life, and the clarity that comes with it. Tonight, we focus on new beginnings and our eternal relationship with the land <light Yellow Candle in the East>

South – the Direction of Fire

Turn to the South, the birthplace of the Fire Spirits. Open your heart and feel the eternal flame of heart. Let the passion, magick, and beauty of life itself bathe your spirit. Find the courage to embrace that which guides you toward greater things and a higher vibration <light Red Candle in the South>

West – the Direction of Water

Now West, the domain of the great Water Spirits. The lunar energy flows all around, just as the waters of the sacred rivers and streams. Look inward tonight, focus on the reflection from the shimmering waters of the sacred wells, where healing water await you spirit <light Blue Candle in the West>

North – the Direction of Earth

Finally, turn to the North, where the Earth Spirits stir and prepare to spread throughout the lands. Our night is visionary, our time together perpetual, our environment triggered by the bone of the land, and with it comes a great grounding and wellspring of new wisdom <light Green Candle in the North>

Now return to your energy to center. Look skyward, Close your eyes and breathe deeply. Feel yourself between the worlds.

Honor the Full Moon 

<Light the Pink candle and recite the following>

Showered by the energy of the pink moon,
Abundant prayers, blessings soon
While blossoms bloom, our hearts expands
We grow in beauty as the Earth commands
A stirring within, the seeds of Spring
My inner voice, sweet words does sing
Now by moon and bloom, and by sacred tide
Guide my hand, from deep inside

Introduction

Before we begin our cleaning ritual, we will engage with the energies of the land, the elements, and the moon.

 A Blessing for the Waters

<Place a few flowers gently in the bowl of water>
‘O sacred well, our land’s delight,
Plus graceful blooms in the moon’s fair light,
As the petals float, so shall we grow,
In beauty, grace, with hearts aglow.
<Dip your fingers in the water and anoint the foreheads, hearts, and hands of all present>

 A Blessing for The Moon

<Hold the green stone or rose quartz to your heart, and look skyward>
From grounded earth to sky above
Surrounded by eternal love
Energies join within my soul
Only both can bring me whole
<Touch the stone to the top of each participants head and then to the ground in front of them>

An Offering to the Land

<Pour out a small libation of honey, mead/wine, or milk onto the Earth>
Spirits of land, of stone and tree,
Ancestors near and gods I see,
Accept this gift with love and cheer,
I honor all who gather near

Cleansing And Clearing Negative Energy

<Pass out paper and pencils>

As we cleanse and clear under the full Pink Moon, we are willingly stepping away from those things which are no longer serving our highest self. Whether places, people, behaviors, or engagement, we have come to the realization that those negative influences are no good for us and need to be banished. There is no judgement or scorecard for the choices we are making, it’s simply a logical and rational look at the multitude of influential things in our lives and discarding the ones which are working against our spiritual growth.

Tonight, I call upon each of you to focus on those things which no longer serve you. Those activities or actions which are counterproductive or leave you feeling drained. Write them down and commit that list to the great spirits of fire and air for banishment. Tonight, under this glorious full Pink Moon, I ask that each of you make a pact with yourself to avoid returning to bad behaviors and associating with bad influencers, regardless of how hard they try to pull you back. Do this without shame, guilt, or fear. You are in control.

When you are ready, approach the fire and cast your list into the flames. As they burn repeat the words, “I give up freely that which is no longer serving me,” as many times as necessary.
