Every full moon is also given a characteristic name in
different regions. As said above, this pink moon is also known as paschal moon
sometimes when it is the first full moon after spring equinox. This phase of
the moon comes after every moon cycle of 28.5 days. Generally, every season has
three full moons. When there is an additional full moon in a season or a month,
it is known as blue moon. The last blue moon happened in October 2020.
What is Pink Moon and Rose
Moon
As said above, pink moon is the full moon of April
month. This full moon is generally the first or the second full moon of the
spring season. It is also known as Fish Moon, Egg moon, Passover Moon and
Paschal Moon, and Rose Moon.
The name Pink Moon is derived from the appearance of a
moss caused by a herb that appears in spring season. The herb is found in USA
and mostly in the eastern parts. It is one of the first flowers that appear in
spring in the eastern America. The name has nothing to do with the colour of
the actually moon.
The full moons of the March and April are the fully illuminated moons of spring season. This year, the first day of spring is on 20th March and the full moon March is on 28th March. Hence, the pink moon is not the very first full moon after spring equinox. Due to this, the full moon of March is known as the paschal moon and hence the Easter date is 4th April; the first Sunday after the first full moon of spring season.
