Celebrating the Pink Full Moon

Apr 12, 2025

Wolfgang Tillmans Tag/Nacht II, 2010

One of my favourite things to witness in life is a pink sky at sunset, there is something quietly magical about how the day exhales into dusk, when soft pastel hues spill across the horizon like strokes of paint. The clouds drift and swirl like spun candy floss, delicate and dreamy, I can taste their sweetness. The pinks slowly melt into deeper tones, roses turning to amber, lavender to fire, until the whole sky burns with a rich, magnificent orange, casting a golden hush over the world. I often find myself being still, held in place by the wonder of it, as if the heavens themselves are whispering secrets to me in colour. Lately, I’ve found comfort in moments like these, in stillness, in solitude, in soft things. Just like the sky, I’ve learned to shift gently, to let myself change in my own time, small shifts and soft awakenings. In this golden hour, I feel both fragile and strong. Being quiet has taught me that softness is not weakness, and that in fact there is a great power in gentle things. There’s a grace in simply sitting with yourself and letting your heart catch up. A pink sky at sunset has become my mirror, a reminder that it’s okay to be still, to rest, that there is beauty in the letting go, the surrender. And slowly, in my own way, I am beginning to glow again too.

Today, in keeping with the theme, the pink full moon rises. I imagine it calls upon us to release what no longer serves us, to restore balance, and to realign with our inner peace. I’m sharing some pink moon affirmations and images that have been inspiring me lately. Oh, and if, like me, you’re having a soft weekend, I highly recommend watching/listening to this live performance of Air at The Royal Albert Hall, it always gives me chills.
