This Sunday, April 13, a splendid full moon will light up the sky. And not just any full moon, but a pink one. Last year, aesthetes and astronomy enthusiasts didn’t have to get up at dawn to admire its splendor. All they had to do was look up at 8.57pm. But what time to observe the pink moon on Sunday April 13, 2025? What’s the best way to observe it from Paris? And above all, will it be pink in the true sense of the word?
A full pink moon, to celebrate the arrival of spring
But why exactly does the full pink moon bear this name? Although it’s commonly referred to as such, the full pink moon isn’t actually pink. In fact, it evokes the arrival of spring. It echoes flowering, rebirth and renewal. It’s a name that perfectly evokes the return of the cherry blossom. In fact, the full pink moon owes its name to a tribe of American Indians, who named it to celebrate the arrival of spring. A nod to the first blooms, notably that of the wild fhlox. A herbaceous plant with magnificent clusters of pink flowers and a delicate fragrance.
When can you see this beautiful pink moon?
Wondering how best to witness this celestial spectacle? Nothing could be simpler. This Sunday, April 13, will be a magical moment for those who look up to the sky. The pink full moon will appear in the sky at 2.22 a.m., reaching its peak at 6.23 a.m. Paris time. While it’s advisable to stay away from light pollution, we can only hope that the weather will be kind this Sunday, and the skies clear.
For astrology aficionados this time around, the pink moon in Libra should be synonymous with change and emotional clarity. A period of plenitude after some turbulence, which should be favorable for Gemini, Capricorn, Cancer and Aquarius signs.
