The first full moon of spring is here, and this one isn't coming in quietly. Here's what you need to know about the energy moving through this Libra Full Moon and how to work with it.

The Pink Full Moon in Libra occurs on April 1,2026 | At 7:12 PM Pacific Time and 10:12 PM Eastern Time

This is the first full moon of the new season, highlighting the growth of the beautiful pink flowers that mark the beginning of spring. It’s typically a time when we seek balance and harmony in our lives. But, this year, the Pink Moon is coming in hot — complete with passion, profoundness, and desire on April Fool’s Day (so don’t take pranks or jokes to heart).

When these two planets share a frustration in the cosmos, we can expect major changes to happen in our lives. The first way is that we may experience a windfall. It’s a wonderful day to invest in relationships. However, since Libra has two sides, we may also experience disappointments and arguments with others. Jupiter pushes us to the max and creates intensity so that it will be an unpredictable Full Moon.

Connecting with your spiritual side will be important right now

Connecting with your spiritual side will open gateways for releasing trauma or grief while we evolve our heart and soul. Just be mindful to be gentle and patient with ourselves. Try to take it easy right now, and don't let this energy take away our shine or sense of self. If you find your mind racing, look for ways to ground yourself. Finding a creative outlet to work with can help you make the most of these vibes, so don't be afraid to put down your work and pick up a hobby for a few hours.

Mercury in Pisces

Mercury in Pisces is still in its post-retrograde zone until April 9, causing us to feel overwhelmed or as though too many people are vying for our attention. The prospect of change and the work that goes with it may also feel like a daunting challenge, which is exactly why breaking it down into smaller, more digestible steps should be a priority. It's also important to remember that it's okay to step back from our responsibilities for a bit, especially if we are feeling highly stressed or tightly wound. Use this time to decompress and try not to set unreasonable expectations for ourselves or others. Also, be mindful of the words we say to avoid miscommunications.
