This month's lunar peak is arriving tonight, April 12, and it's coming in the form of a full moon in the sign of Libra. Also known as the annual pink moon, it's an important time to manifest - as, among other things, it's the first full moon of spring and the astrological year.
This means that moon rituals and intention-setting spells are ready to be cast, so you should try one of these manifestation rituals to help you connect with your magic.
The April 12th Pink Moon takes place in the harmony and beauty-seeking sign of Libra, asking everyone to set aside the self-centered instincts of Aries season and focus on the synergy they are creating with the people and energies around them.
Some of the most prominent energies of the Libra zodiac are related to balance, partnership, and social connection, so focusing on manifesting goals related to these themes can be especially powerful during this full moon.
Flower planting demonstration
Fun fact: April's full moon is traditionally called the "pink moon" because of the abundance of pink flowers. And because spring is associated with themes of fertility and growth, this season's full moon is the perfect time to tend to the garden of your heart and plant a flower as a symbol of your intentions.
On the day of the full moon, gather your gardening supplies and find a space in your home or outdoors that will meet the sunlight and temperature needs of your chosen flower. If you want to match the lunar symbolism of the pink moon, choose a flower in that color, such as pink roses, petunias, carnations, or begonias.
Take a small piece of paper and write down everything you are currently working on. As you fill your pot and plant your seeds, fold the paper over the bottom of the pot or soil to give the seeds or flower roots room to grow.
As you water the plant for the first time, say aloud, “As this flower grows, so will my intentions bloom. From spring to summer, from fall to winter, under the pink moon.” You can repeat this mantra every time you water the plant as a reminder to keep your intentions in mind.
The ritual of affirmation from shadow to light
This can be painful, but you can use this emotional release to fuel your own manifestation and an opportunity to heal from whatever is hurting you. Try writing down a list of everything that is weighing on you right now. This could be feelings of self-consciousness, anxieties you have, difficult memories that are coming to the surface, or anything else in your heart that feels like it is weighing on you.
Now, write a list of affirmations that correspond to each statement on your list that offer some hope and healing for the painful thought or feeling.
For example, if one of your current pain points is "I feel like I'm not good enough and will never get ahead at work," then you might write "I am fully capable of achieving my career goals and will get exactly where I need to be at work."
You are now equipped with a set of positive affirmations that can help counteract these triggers as they arise, giving them less power over time and making more room for your manifestations to come to fruition.
