On Tuesday, June 11, the sky will be illuminated by the Strawberry Moon, a name inspired by the ripening fruit of early summer. This celestial event has been celebrated for centuries, symbolizing abundance, renewal, and reflection.

As the full moon reaches its peak at 3:44 a.m. ET (9:44 a.m. CET), it invites us to pause and appreciate the natural cycles of life. Just as the moon waxes and wanes, so do our experiences—growth, challenges, moments of clarity. It’s a time to embrace transitions, release what no longer serves us, and set intentions for the next phase.

The best time to view the Strawberry Moon is shortly after sunset on June 10, when it rises in the eastern sky. Depending on your location, the moonrise will vary, but it will cast a warm, golden glow as it ascends.

Many cultures view the full moon as a powerful force—some believe it enhances intuition, while others see it as a moment of completion. Whether you spend the evening under its glow, journaling your thoughts, or simply basking in its quiet wisdom, let it be a reminder of your journey and how far you’ve come.

How will you honor this full moon?
