Every month has a special moon, and April’s special moon is the Pink Moon. This year’s Pink Moon is said to appear on April 16.

The truth is that it isn’t that pink. It is more of an orangey-golden color. The reason it gets its name is because it comes along when the wild ground phlox blooms.

The plant wild ground phlox is also known as “pink moss” because of its pink color.

The Pink Moon represents many things, ranging from immortality to fullness. It represents maturity, inner self, transcendence, and much more.

There are good names and bad names for the special moons of the month. April’s Pink Moon has a much better name than the March full moon, which is called the Worm Moon.
