“Consider this: You have traveled to other stars. When you were very little, you fled Earth. You’ve lost track of how many years your planet has been a cylinder of hybrid metals that is silent, cold, and moving at an unfathomably rapid pace through the web of stars. But one day you wakeor rather, you almost wakewith a perfume in your nostrils that is moist, cool, and black, sweet and bitter at the same time, immobile as stone, and swift as rain. Your mind automatically searches for memories by reaching back and probing. You now possess it. You awaken fully this time, with a sensation of the dawn, gazing directly upward like you used to while you awaited the saffron light to pour through your window. Then you come to terms with your current situationtrapped in metal, stillness, and starlight. However, you have acquired a possession that is internal and hence permanent. This weightless item is equal in value to the rest of your cargo, whatever it may be. Memory, sense-memory, the sense of morning, the knot in your nerves you carry eternally, and the pearl known as Home are the possessions. A Sense of the Morning by David Brendan Hopes
Today, keep that gem close to your heart. You will be located in the exact middle of the Cancer moon. Everything else will come to you naturally.

The Maine Farmer’s Almanac started releasing Native American names for the Moon for each month of the year in the 1930s.

This almanac refers to the full moon in April as the Pink Moon. This moon also goes by the names of the Sprouting Grass Moon, the Egg Moon, and the Fish Moon among coastal tribes because this was the time of year when shad swam upstream to spawn.
The Pesach or Passover Moon is also at hand. Passover, also known as Pesach, lasts from Friday, April 15, at dusk, till Saturday, April 23, 2022, at dusk. The first two evenings of Passover are reserved for the Seder feasts.
This is the Paschal Moon in the Christian ecclesiastical calendar, which is used to determine the day of Easter. The Latinized name for Pesach is Paschal.

The dates of these astronomical occurrences and the calendars used by the Eastern and Western churches, however, disagree. This year is one where the distinctions do matter. The Sunday following this first full moon of spring, April 17, 2022, will be Easter Sunday in Western Christianity. Eastern Christianity will observe Eastern Orthodox Easter on Sunday, April 24, one week later.
This moon’s fullness coincides with Hanuman Jayanti, a Hindu holiday commemorating the birth of Lord Hanuman, which is observed nationwide on the full moon day of the Chaitra lunar month.
This full moon is celebrated as Bak Poya by Buddhists, particularly in Sri Lanka, to remember the time the Buddha visited Sri Lanka and arbitrated a conflict between two chiefs to prevent a civil war.

The first sighting of the waxing crescent moon soon after the new moon marks the beginning of each month according to the Islamic calendar. Near the midpoint of the holy month of Ramadan is this full moon. As the month during which the Quran was revealed, Ramadan is revered. One of the Five Pillars of Islam is the observance of this annual month of almsgiving, prayer, and fasting from sunrise to dusk.
