April’s Full Pink Moon will occur in April 2025

The first full moon of spring, known as the Pink Moon, will rise on Friday, April 12, 2025, offering a spectacular view across North America and beyond.

Although it won’t actually look pink, the moon’s name comes from the pink phlox flowers that bloom in early spring, signaling the arrival of the season. The full moon will reach its peak at 8:23 p.m. EDT on Saturday, April 12.

It will rise in the eastern sky just an hour before the peak of the full moon in some areas, a rare occurrence.

Is pink moon visible in Pakistan?

In Pakistan, the full Pink Moon will be visible on Sunday, April 13, 2025, with moonrise in Karachi at approximately 9:08 UTC. The full moon will be visible all night, as it rises in the east at sunset and sets in the west at sunrise.

This full moon is also important in its connection to Easter. It is the “Paschal Moon,” the first full moon after the spring equinox, which determines the date of Easter Sunday. This year, Easter falls on Sunday, April 20.
