When To See It, Meaning Explained

The April full moon is arriving on Sunday 13 and lunar lovers, boy do we have a treat for you. While we’ve just recovered from the intensity of March’s full blood moon eclipse April is bringing us a pink full moon, and it’s a far gentler lunation.

Below, we’re unpacking everything you need to know about the April 2025 pink full moon. 

What Is A Pink Full Moon?

Despite its poetic name, the pink moon isn’t actually rosy in colour. April’s pink moon is named for the early springtime bloom of wild ground phlox, a wildflower that blankets fields across North America and reaches full bloom around April. This year, the pink full moon is also the Paschal Full Moon. The Paschal Full Moon is the first full moon following the March Equinox. The first Sunday after the Paschal Full Moon is always Easter Sunday in the Catholic calendar, and the long weekend for everyone else. 

When Is The 2025 April Full Moon? 

Now we’ve got all the Midsommar details out of the way, where can you see the April full moon? In Australia, the pink full moon will reach peak illumination on Sunday, April 13 at 10:22am AEST. While it will reach its full lunation during daylight hours the moon will rise at5:30pm AEST. This moon is also a micromoon – meaning it is occurring when the moon is at its farthest point from the earth – so expect a slightly smaller than typical full moon sparkling in the sky. 

What Does The Pink Full Moon Mean Astrologically? 

Some people are happy taking in the simple majesty of the stars, some people want to know exactly what they mean for them. If you’re in the latter camp, let’s look at what kind of energy the pink full moon will bring with it. 

Astrologically this month’s full moon is taking place in Libra, the sign of balance, beauty and relationships. Opposite the fiery, self-starting Aries sun this lunar movement will invite us to consider how we move in partnership with others – whether romantically, professionally or within friendships. 

April’s full moon will introduce a push pull between these oppositional signs. Aries energy urges independence, while Libra seeks collaboration. But, Libra, represented by the scales, is also the sign of fairness and justice. This means the April full moon is an ideal time to check your boundaries, reflect on the reciprocity of your relationships, and ask whether your life could benefit from more harmony. Is there a person in your life whose energy is tipping you off balance? Now might be the time to create some distance. 

This is also a moment for softening, aesthetically and emotionally. Libra is ruled by Venus, the planet of love, aesthetics and pleasure. Beautify your home, lean into grace in your relationships and seize opportunities for emotional repair where they occur.

Intercontinental Champion Bron Breakker vs. Penta vs. Finn Bálor vs. Dominik Mysterio

0


At WrestleMania, the Intercontinental Championship will be defended in a Fatal 4-Way Match for the first time ever at The Showcase of the Immortals.

Intercontinental Champion Bron Breakker will clash with Penta and The Judgement Day’s Finn Bálor and “Dirty” Dominik Mysterio.

Breakker has earned singles victories against all three competitors and has retained the title against Penta and Bálor, but now he’s primed to defend his championship in what is sure to be a can’t-miss Fatal 4-Way Match.

Penta will compete at WrestleMania for the first time and has yet to be pinned or submitted since making his electric debut in January.

Bálor and Mysterio have been butting heads in recent weeks, leaving plenty of intrigue as to what will happen when each challenges for the Intercontinental Title in the same match.

Bálor is a two-time Intercontinental Champion, whereas Mysterio and Penta will be looking for their first Intercontinental Title reign.

Which man wall walk out of Las Vegas with the Intercontinental Title?

‘American Idol’ chooses Top 24 singers as Jelly Roll mentors

0


play

With four people through to the Top 24 and 20 spots left in the competition, “American Idol” contestants are running on fumes.

In Monday night’s episode, the remaining 42 singers, sleep deprived from overnight rehearsals, paired up for the head-to-head round. It was sink-or-swim as the aspiring stars struggled to memorize lyrics, went on vocal rest to preserve their overworked vocal cords and — for some — adapted to singing with another person for the first time.

While some pairings both made it through to the next stage, other duos only had one successful contestant. In a few rough cases, neither singer earned a spot in Carrie Underwood, Lionel Richie and Luke Bryan’s Top 24.

Jelly Roll returned to the show as the first-ever artist in residence to dispense advice and encouraging words from side stage. He even got a celebrity cameo for one lucky pair.

Here are the top moments from Episode 7.

Judges give a floundering Baylee Littrell another chance

Were we watching the same performance as the judges?

After a powerhouse delivery from Keilene (who has received almost no air time thus far) in the second of three “Shallow” performances tonight, the judges instead chose to focus on her stage partner, Baylee Littrell. Underwood said, “Baylee, you were more comfortable singing with somebody else. It’s like we got to see a different side to you.”

Uh, yeah. We saw that when he did a duet with his dad, the Backstreet Boys’ Brian Littrell, in the season premiere. It was true that he mostly sounded solid when complementing Keilene’s vocals, but alone? His voice understandably sounded tired and overused, and he couldn’t reach some notes while her Broadway-ready voice had the ability to pierce through Kevlar.

Richie had very fair feedback when he pondered whether the cover was on the verge of being “too powerful,” while Bryan insinuated that Keilene was too overwhelming in the closing notes. The country star also accurately pointed out Baylee was “timid” in his verses.

Despite Baylee’s roughest performance yet, it was Keilene who was shown the door. But Baylee was sent into the Top 24 with a warning from Underwood: “It was not a unanimous decision, so moving forward, I need you to step it up!”

Brandon Lake reacts to Breanna Nix and Rylie O’Neill’s cover of ‘Gratitude’

Breanna Nix and Rylie O’Neill, who’d bonded over being moms, paired up to cover a song by Christian worship singer Brandon Lake. Little did they know, the songwriter himself was listening to their performance.

After the women delivered their song, eyes gazing upward and arms reaching toward the heavens, Jelly Roll cut off the judges’ feedback to bring Lake in via FaceTime. “That was the most gorgeous version of ‘Gratitude’ I’ve ever heard,” he told Breanna and Rylie.

Underwood was emotional as she delivered her comments. “I know how difficult it is to come into the entertainment industry and bring your faith with you,” she told the singers.

“It is a brave thing to do because there are a lot of outside forces that are going to tell you not to do that. I want to tell you that I’m proud of you guys,” she added.

There was only one spot left in the Top 24, however, and the judges passed over Rylie to offer it to Breanna. The self-described 25-year-old “just a stay-at-home mom” sank to the floor crying with relief and happiness.

Who is in the ‘American Idol’ Top 24?

Sean O’Malley praises ‘f*cking skilled’ Paddy Pimblett

0


Sean O’Malley sees big potential in fellow UFC star Paddy Pimblett.

Pimblett (22-3 MMA, 6-0 UFC) takes on Michael Chandler (23-9 MMA, 2-4 UFC) in Saturday’s five-round UFC 314 co-headliner (pay-per-view, ESPN, ESPN+) at Kaseya Center in Miami.

Former multiple-time Bellator champion and former UFC title challenger Chandler will mark Pimblett’s sternest test to date. While most are looking at the matchup as more beneficial to Pimblett, ex-UFC bantamweight champ O’Malley thinks Chandler has an equal amount to gain with a win.

“Paddy vs. Michael Chandler is such an interesting fight,” O’Malley said on his “TimboSugarShow” podcast. “Michael Chandler is such a gangster for taking that fight. If he beats Paddy, that’s still a big win – maybe not in some people’s eyes, but Paddy is f*cking skilled. What he did to Bobby Green was super. It’s a big fight.

“Michael Chandler is a beast for taking that fight. Paddy’s a beast. Paddy, what he wants to do is climb the rankings. I think that fight makes so much sense. I don’t know who wins, either. I feel like it’s going to be very competitive. … (Pimblett is) very sharp and he’s very skilled.”

Pimblett entered the UFC’s lightweight rankings after notching a quick, first-round submission of King Green at UFC 304 last July. Chandler on the other hand, has lost four of his past five, and back-to-back to Dustin Poirier and Charles Oliveira.

Falling Knife Brewing Company will be closed on Monday night to allow people to grieve. A larger gathering to honor Berg is set to be announced at a later date.

The full statement from the Falling Knife Brewery Company can be read below.

It is with the heaviest of hearts that we share some awful and unexpected news. Over the weekend, our friend, Chief Brewing Officer, and owner Tom Berg passed away in his home. We are devastated to lose our dear friend, the visionary architect of what Falling Knife brews, and a guiding force in what we are and do.

There was nobody more passionate about Falling Knife, beer, and his friends. If you ran into him in the taproom during a Wolves game, at a show celebrating his love of music, or out at one of his favorite spots in town, you were immediately wrapped up in his warm personality as he welcomed you as he would his closest friends. Whether his lifelong work in the Minneapolis music scene, his passion for the Minnesota Beer Community at large, or just meeting him out and about in the world, it felt like everyone knew Tom. And to know Tom was to be loved by him.

We’re closing for the evening to grieve this monumental loss. We will pass along information for a larger gathering as we talk with Tom’s family and respect their wishes for honoring him. Take care of yourselves and each other.

WWE’s Adam Pearce Announces Massive WrestleMania 41 Championship Match Ahead Of Raw

0






Another big WrestleMania 41 championship match was made official just hours before “WWE Raw” on Monday. General Manager Adam Pearce announced on the official WrestleMania X (formerly Twitter) account that Intercontinental Champion Bron Breakker will be defending his title in a fatal four-way match against Penta, Dominik Mysterio, and Finn Balor on “The Grandest Stage of Them All.”

Breakker has been feuding with, and defending his gold in the ring against, the other three men over the last few weeks, with his most recent defense against Penta on the March 24 episode of “Raw” from Glasgow, Scotland. The match ended in a disqualification when Mysterio and Judgment Day stablemate Carlito took out Breakker, with Balor running in after the match to hit Breakker with a chair. The stable had offered a spot to Penta, who refused, leading to a tag team match last week on “Raw.”

The match joins the growing card for the two-night event that begins on Saturday, April 19. It was determined on Friday’s episode of “WWE SmackDown” that LA Knight will defend his United States Championship at the event against Jacob Fatu. As of this writing, no matches for the women’s mid-card championships have been announced for WrestleMania, but Bayley will challenge Intercontinental Champion Lyra Valkyria on “Raw” on Monday.
