The Pink Moon, a time of ritual and renewal. The first full moon of spring. The first full moon of the gardening year.
Despite the rosy orbed visions that appear when listening toNick Drake’s 1972 album of the same name (it’s impossible not to hear the title track as this lunar cycle takes its turn), the pink hue actually refers to creeping moss phlox – Phlox sublata – that covers the slopes and open woodland areas of central and eastern United States in early spring.
A time to pay celebrate the flowers. The feminine. Longer, brighter days ahead.
Shuffling out from a long winter, it feels good to mark the passage of time. From Pink Moon to Pink Moon. From darkness to light.
Say thank you to the plants. You may not have ground phlox in your backyard (although it is a lovely plant for rockeries) but there are lots of other lovely bloomers around. Hellebores, magnolia, grape hyacinths, narcissi, irises, and the stalwart rosemary flower. Make a mandala from the petals. Or little pressings of new life. Notice the buds on the trees, the pollen on the catkins, and the cow parsley that has somehow already grown to great heights. Tuck seeds and plant life into moonlit beds: cosmos, dahlias, and sweet peas.
Think pink It really is the most restful, restorative colour. Look for it in the sky, in the cherry blossom, the flowering currant, and the tulips pushing up from a parallel dormancy. Look for it in your mind and heart. Look for it in life.
Embrace the feminine Draw a bath. Add rose petals and pink Himalayan salt. Light scented candles, lavender, sweet orange and rose geranium, and arrange crystals of rose quartz (for self-love and inner peace),pink opal (for self-healing and the heart), rhodonite (for compassion and emotional balance), or pink tourmaline (to calm anxiety). Let yourself stop fora moment while the moon rises to its fullest point. Shoulders down, breathe in, and exhale.
Rise with the dawn Get up early and absorb the duality of the moon and the sun. Look west, look east. A little stretch and a nod to the birdsong. So much louder than you remembered. Spring is here again.
