Pink Moon 2027: Full Moon in Scorpio on April 20

What is in the sky

• The Sun is in Taurus, directly opposite the Moon in Scorpio.
• It is the fourth full Moon of 2027. The full Moon also falls in Scorpio on May 20.
• Mercury is direct. The next retrograde starts June 10.

Why is it called the Pink Moon?

The Pink Moon is one of the traditional full Moon names used in North America. The name refers to spring-blooming pink ground phlox, not the Moon's color.

Other names include the Sprouting Grass Moon and the Egg Moon.

What this Full Moon in Scorpio means

A Scorpio Full Moon pulls the curtain back. Whatever you have been quietly carrying, a doubt, a secret hope, a debt you do not mention, gets harder to ignore. With the Sun in Taurus across the sky, the question has a practical edge: what do you really want, and what is it worth to you? This Pink Moon is not a gentle one. It is honest, and honest is useful.

Love and close ties: Trust is the whole story. If something has felt off between you and a partner, this Moon is the time to name it, kindly and in one clear sentence. Single Scorpio? Notice who makes you feel safe, not just who makes you feel something. A second Scorpio Full Moon follows on May 20, so you get another chance to finish a talk you start now.

Work and goals: Look for what is hidden in your workload: the task nobody owns, the promise made in a hallway, the number that does not add up. Bring it into the open and ask for a plain answer. If you have been holding back an idea until it is perfect, show a rough version to one person you trust.

Money: Taurus holds your own money and Scorpio holds the money you share, so this Moon puts both on the table. Check joint bills, loans, and anything with fine print. Decide what you are willing to pay for, and what you are paying for only out of habit. Write down one number you want to reach.

Body and daily care: Intense feelings land in the body first. Notice tight shoulders, a clenched jaw, or poor sleep, and give them a way out: a long walk, a hot shower, a good cry, a hard workout. Eat something warm and simple. You do not need to think your way through this Moon, you can let your body help.

Put the theme to work: Use the Pink Moon to tell one truth and drop one pretense. Pick the thing you have been circling, say it plainly to the right person, and let the answer be whatever it is. Release the old story about what you are supposed to want.

Do this

• Name the one thing you have been avoiding, and say it to the person it concerns.
• Review a shared bill, a loan, or a contract, and ask about any line you do not understand.
• Write down what you want and what it costs, then choose what is worth it.

Skip this

• Do not test someone's loyalty with a trap. Ask the real question instead.
• Skip the late-night spending that is really about a feeling you have not named.
• Do not keep a grudge for company. If it no longer protects you, let it go.
