In April in the Northern hemisphere the thunderstorms of March begin to subside, and the wind picks up. This is a windy month in many places, and the seeds of spring are being blown about on the breezes, spreading life all around.

This lunar cycle is often known then as the Wind Moon or as the Seed Moon.

Trees have buds on them, spring daffodils and tulips abound, and the birds are nesting once more.

Much like March, this is a time of conception and fertility and new growth.
