Why the March New Moon is called the New Pink Moon
In 2023 the new moon that begins the lunar cycle for the April full moon, called the Full Pink Moon, will occur in late March. This is one of the few New Moon Names not easily guessed. Inspired by nature, the April Full Moon is named for a flowering pink herb moss widespread that time of year. It’s one of the signs Spring is on its way.
Each year depending on when the April Full Moon occurs, the New Pink Moon will occur in either late March to Mid-April.
