On June 11, 2025, the night sky will be illuminated by the Strawberry Moon - a full moon rich in symbolism and seasonal significance. Named by Indigenous tribes like the Algonquin to mark the peak of strawberry harvesting, this moon signifies ripening, reflection, and readiness for new beginnings.
Astrologically, this full moon occurs in Sagittarius, a sign associated with truth-seeking, expansion, and optimism. It’s a time that encourages looking inward, assessing personal growth, and setting intentions for the future.
Connecting Lunar Rhythms to Your Cycle
The menstrual cycle has long been linked to lunar phases, with the full moon often representing ovulation - a period of heightened energy and fertility. The Strawberry Moon’s themes of culmination and renewal align with this phase, offering an opportunity to tune into your body’s natural rhythms and reflect on your hormonal health.
