The figures
At 15:10 UTC on Sunday, April 25, 2032 the Moon reaches 5°58' Scorpio with the Sun opposite at 5°58' Taurus. The distance is 386,350 km, 1,950 km further out than the 384,400 km average — near enough to the mean that the apparent size is unremarkable. The degree, 5°58' Scorpio, places it in the first decan of Scorpio, on the axis that runs across to Taurus. This one is also a total lunar eclipse, so the Moon is within range of a node at 5°58' Scorpio rather than merely opposite the Sun. It is the 8th of the 24 lunations dated for 2032, and the cycle it belongs to is set out in what a lunation is.

Why it is called the Pink Moon
The Pink Moon is the traditional North American and European name for the full Moon of April, and in 2032 it falls on April 25, 2032 at 5°58' Scorpio. Those names follow the calendar month rather than the zodiac, which is why the 2032 one lands in Scorpio at 5°58' Scorpio while other years put it elsewhere.
