The Strawberry Moon, which peaks in illumination on Wednesday, June 11, at 3:45 a.m. ET, marks a significant celestial event. This strawberry full moon, so-called for the brief wild fruit harvest, is in the daring fire sign Sagittarius. The Strawberry Moon is full of happy, abundant vibes. We hope it inspires people, young and old, to dream big and get the most out of all that summer has to offer.
It’s common to refer to it as the “honey moon” since the honey harvest happens during late June. After the long, cold winter, this full moon represents the call toward growth, blossoming and good fortune. The fiery energy of Sagittarius, a fire sign, is perfect for igniting your passion for ritual practices that include fire. Light candles, burn incense, and tap into this magical energy.
Characteristics of the Strawberry Moon
The Strawberry Moon’s astrological placement changes slightly from year to year, impacting the Strawberry Moon’s characteristics and the energy it brings to us. This year, it comes with a refreshing optimism that it has the potential to change life as we know it. The moon’s energy is especially good for anyone hoping to redefine their relationships or start a new chapter in their work life.
Astrologer Kyle Thomas tells us that this full moon can help point the way toward a safer, more prosperous life. He explains, “Money will be a major factor on your mind as you plan out things now and in the months ahead. A raise, new job offer, or side hustle could present itself.” There’s no more exciting time to be someone looking to move up or start out on an entrepreneurial journey.
For anyone born beneath the indication of Scorpio, this complete moon will probably mark a transition of their cash. Thomas elaborates, “Another way this could affect you is around financial matters, bringing a shift or the arrival of a bonus, venture capital, new credit line, inheritance, or settlement. Assets and investments are favored.” This is an opportunity to inspire long-term financial discipline and strategic decision making.
Opportunities for Reflection and Growth
The Strawberry Moon happens to correspond with Virgo’s energies, offering a nurturing and healing environment for inward reflection and self-improvement. During this time, most of us will have an acute need to hibernate and replenish our energy reserves. Thomas advises that “pushing too hard against the grain now would only burn you out more,” suggesting that self-care is essential.
He further states, “You may feel a desire to rest, recharge, and recuperate. You may instead be feeling a bit haunted by baggage, dreams, trauma, or the past.” Whether it’s through spiritual guidance or therapy, reaching for these healing practices can help you find the closure you’re looking for this full moon.
The moon’s influence doesn’t stop at self-reflection. The full moon sparks social engagements too. Strawberry Moons are especially fortuitous for anyone born under Libra, bringing all sorts of chances to socialize and make important connections. Thomas highlights that “this is an excellent period to join groups and communities, volunteer, or become actively engaged with a cause that you believe in.”
Navigating Relationships and Career Opportunities
For those with Taurus as their sun sign, the June full moon will offer an opportunity to take stock in your romantic life. Now that this lunar event has put a spotlight on partnerships, it could be the catalyst that inspires important discussions about continued commitment or plans to develop more. As Thomas points out, “You are at a time where you will be facing the truth in a significant partnership.”
This full moon means it’s a time to go big or go home professionally, Pisces. For those who are dissatisfied within their current positions, we hope they’ll have the inspiration to advocate for or pursue needed transformations. Thomas notes that “you may receive praise, success, or recognition for work that you’ve been building toward for six months or longer.” It’s a time of great change, but great progress awaits those who are bold enough to pursue it.
Love too, romance thrives in the soft glow of the Strawberry Moon. For those not in a serious relationship, people might really be able to enjoy dating and courtship in this period. Thomas emphasizes that “romance, dating, and courtship could all be particularly enjoyable now.”
