If you're in the mood to celebrate the full moon, there are plenty of things you can do to welcome its energy into your life, but astrologers say there are also some things you'll want to avoid.
April's full moon will begin lighting up the sky at 7:49 pm ET on Tuesday, April 23, and will continue to shine until Wednesday morning. This new moon occurs in the water sign Scorpio, which is known for strong emotions due to its rulership by Pluto, but is also passionate, loyal, and intuitive.
According to astrologer Stina Garbis, this full moon in Scorpio will bring up a lot of feelings. As the day approaches, you may notice that there is energy in the air, and you may feel more sensitive heading into Tuesday. Since this may lead you to make emotionally-induced mistakes, it's a good idea to keep this in mind.
It's also a pink full moon, and while it doesn't actually look pink in the sky, it still injects some rosy meaning into the day. "The Pink Full Moon is named after the spring flowers that bloom this time of year and are filled with nature's wonderful colors," she told Busy. "This represents a new beginning."
While April's full moon has its own unique characteristics, any full moon is a good time to wrap up things, let go of the past, and look toward the future. Ready for your ceremony? Here are the best things to do and things to avoid as the next full moon approaches.
Do: Light a candle and meditate
To tap into Scorpio's intuitive energy, Garbis recommends lighting a pink candle—for the pink moon, of course—and meditating. A full moon is the perfect time to release something, so think about what you might need to let go of, whether it's self-doubt, past stress, or anxiety about the future. The vibe of a water sign will help you tune in and find out.
DON’T: Text your ex
This powerful full moon may bring back memories of past partners, but don't take it as a sign to text your ex. Although drafting a 1,000-word message and expressing all your feelings may seem like a good idea, the rush will be gone the minute you hit send—especially if your ex asked you to keep reading. Do yourself a favor and unleash your thoughts in the Notes app.
DO: Write a list of your passions
As you enter spring, let Scorpio's energizing energy inspire you to get back in touch with all the things that excite you. It's common to get stuck when you get up and repeat the same routine day after day, but you'll feel better if you tap into a creative and inspired version of yourself. If you're not sure where to start, Garbis recommends writing down a list of your hobbies and interests to use as inspiration.
Don’t: Give away all your secrets
Scorpio is a mysterious sign. On the one hand, Scorpios like to be low-key and keep to themselves. On the other hand, they crave close connections with others. If you're in the latter mood, you may find yourself eager to reveal some of your deepest, darkest secrets during the full moon, but try to hold back. Garbis recommends going to bed before calling your mom or texting your best friend. Hopefully you'll wake up the next morning and realize that some things are better left unsaid.
How to do it: Place rose quartz on the windowsill
To celebrate the pink moon, grab your favorite rose quartz and let it charge on your windowsill at night. According to Garbis, rose quartz is known as the "love stone" and can be used to attract romance into your life as well as more self-love.

Don’t: Give in to your bad habits
"This full moon is not for things like alcoholism," Garbis says. "Pluto, the ruler of Scorpio, can be incredibly transformative, but it can also be destructive, so avoid doing anything that could ruin your life. things." This includes arguments with loved ones. If you find yourself tingling around your partner, go your separate ways until the full moon passes.
DO: Take a refreshing bath
For the ultimate spring refreshment and embrace your water sign, Scorpio, relax in the tub at night. Fill a bathtub with warm water, Epsom salts, and pink rose petals.
