What is a Full Moon?
If you need a recap of a Full Moon, click here! 🌕
A full moon happens when the moon is directly opposite the sun from the Earth. This means that the side of the moon facing Earth is fully illuminated by the sun, making it appear as a complete circle of light in the night sky.
As with anything in witchcraft, there are many different beliefs on what type of magick should be done during a Full Moon. Some witches believe banishing should be done. Others believe intentions should be set for manifestations. Still, others (such as myself) believe that the Full Moon is the best time for literally any spell you want because the energy is at its highest.
During the Full Moon, the Triple Goddess becomes the Mother of all beings. It’s a great time to work on intuition, spells of love, and prosperity. The Power of all Magic is truly at its peak, this lunar phase is key to either accept or reject projects, transformations, and manifestations that we initiated during the New Moon. - Spells and Things To Do on a Full Moon | Spells8
The Pink Moon
Here in the Northern Hemisphere, the Full Moon for the month of April is called the Pink Moon. It is given this name not because the moon is actually pink (though that would be pretty awesome) but because of a pink moss that blooms during this time of year. Some alternate names for the Pink Moon include Breaking Ice Moon, Frog Moon, and Budding Moon.
The Southern Hemisphere is in the midst of a transition from Summer to Autumn. Because of this, the names of the Full Moons in the Southern Hemisphere are often different! For April’s Full Moon in the Southern Hemisphere, you may want to consider using the names Harvest Moon, Hunter’s Moon, or Blood Moon. You can even use the Spells8 Harvest Moon ritual instead of the Pink Moon ritual!
The Sign of Scorpio
Ahh Scorpio - I know all about this sign as it is my personal sun sign! The sign of Scorpio is enigmatic, mysterious, and devious. They like to keep all of their secrets yet also want to know the secrets of everyone else. The Scorpio tends to be seen as mysterious and dark, drawn to all things occult, spiritual, and taboo. Scorpios are naturally curious and will do whatever they can to learn about their interests. They feel intensely which makes it very easy for a Scorpio to get in over their head very fast! Many may think the Scorpio is dramatic, but I tend to find that Scorpios feel so deeply that they hide their secrets for fear of being too vulnerable with those who might hurt them.

Activities for the Full Pink Moon in Scorpio
There are many things you can do for the full moon, but these activities will be enhanced by the specific energy of this Full Pink Moon in Scorpio!
Magickal Massage Oil
Scorpio is a sign of sensuality and passion - and no, that doesn’t just mean sex. Massage, whether on your own or with a partner, is a wonderful way to get in tune with your physical body. Create a magickal spell massage oil with the intention of enhancing physical sensation, relaxing the body, or creating a connection between you and another person.
Emotional Release
With the intensity of Scorpio’s water sign and connection to intuition and emotion, we may find ourselves feeling things we haven’t felt in a long time. This is especially true if you are prone to bottling up your emotions or pushing things down to deal with them later. This Full Moon is a great time to release those emotions, especially if you have been holding on to them for a while and they are running your life.

Remember, the energy of the Full Moon isn’t just for the one day that it reaches its peak. Personally, I give myself a three-day window for the Full Moon: the day before, the day of, and the day after. This works well for my practice and it may work for yours, too!
