The Strawberry Full Moon Is the BAMF Energy You Need RN

Brace yourself for a rollercoaster-y few days, because on June 17, the Strawberry Full Moon in Sagittarius arrives to seriously change up your life–in (mostly) a great way!

Full Moons are always a bit of a special event–everything kind of climaxes around them, but the energy around this one IS super-spesh. Read on to find out why!

What is the Strawberry Moon?

The Strawberry Moon (also known as the Honey Moon, Mead Moon, or Full Rose Moon) got its name from the Algonquin tribes in eastern North America who saw it as a signal that it was time to harvest the wild strawberries in their landscape. More broadly, its proximity to the summer solstice (June 21) enhances the energy of personal development and achievement, like a "high point" in the astrological calendar.

How does it affect us?

"If you can dream it, you can do it." That is the message that the universe is beaming down on you right now, so absorb these positive vibes and activate your deepest desires and ambitions. It’s a time to let your daydreams totally off-leash and see where they take you.

Don’t project your internal anxieties or doubts onto someone else–most importantly, yourself!

Where in the world do you most want to go? What do you most want to do? Even quickly journaling everything that immediately comes to mind can help you hone in on what you most care about, and take steps to pursue your wildest #goals.

Is it all good news tho?

All this self-reflection could trigger some tension or miscommunication in your closest relationships (particularly if you’ve never really shared your own life goals before.) Don’t let others thwart your ambitions–and vice versa, support other people's dreams as well. Don’t project your internal anxieties or doubts onto someone else–most importantly, yourself!

A fun lil’ Strawberry Moon part-aaaaay might be just the way to fix this, though. Invite your besties, pop a strawbs in your Prosecco, and share what you're all currently second-guessing yourselves about.

Which signs are most impacted?

The four mutable star signs–Sagittarius, Gemini, Virgo, and Pisces–are likely to feel this Moon’s influence the most.

You're good at instigating change and handling life’s twists and turns, so use that gift to help others do the same.

Each of these signs emerge at the end, or changing, of a season (Gemini-Spring; Virgo- Summer; Sagittarius-Fall, Pisces-Winter.) As such, mutable signs are ALL about change. This can make them come across as inconsistent and uncommitted (hello, Gemini), but also flexible and intuitive (hey, Sagittarius). This moon speaks to their inner character, to the need and appetite for continual change. If you’re one of these signs, then use the super-charged vibes of the next day or so to clarify your biggest, wildest dreams and believe that they are NOT out of reach.

Also, you can also be a bit of an ambassador for the transformation process re: the other eight signs. You're good at instigating change and handling life’s twists and turns, so use that gift to help others do the same. Spark discussions about their own hopes and dreams, and help instill the confidence they need to trust they can reach their goals. Just don't forget about your own!
