How the strawberry full moon can help you glow up and manifest your best life

Mark your calendars and set those alarms, because on June 11, the enchanting strawberry full moon will light up the sky. Now, don’t expect it to suddenly turn bright pink like a giant floating gummy bear—though if the stars align (and the atmosphere cooperates), you might catch a soft reddish glow that’s just as magical. But trust us, this moon’s sweetness goes way beyond its name—it’s a cosmic treat for your soul, your goals, and yes, even your love life.

The name comes from Indigenous Algonquin tribes in North America, who called it that because June was prime strawberry-picking season—a time to celebrate abundance and the fruits of hard work. Other cultures call it the rose moon, hot moon, or mead moon, all nodding to the lush, vibrant energy of early summer. But this full moon isn’t just a pretty sight; it’s a powerful invitation to tune into different parts of your life and align your energy with the season’s vibe of growth, sweetness, and celebration. Whether you want to recharge your soul, spice up your love life, or power through your career goals, the strawberry moon’s got your back.

Here’s how to channel its magic in every corner of your world. 

For your soul: Self-care and manifestation magic

With your mind clear, get juicy with your goals: picture them vividly, feel them, live them in your imagination. Want to up your moon game? Try a strawberry-infused face mask, soak in a lavender bath, or leave a glass of water outside overnight to soak up that lunar mojo for a refreshing sip come morning.

For the heart: Love and connection glow-up

Single or coupled, this moon has you covered. If you’re in a relationship, plan a dreamy date night under its glow—bonus points for a strawberry-themed treat or a deep chat that gets to the heart of things. Flying solo? This is your moment to boost your self-love and confidence because the more you shine from within, the more you magnetise authentic connections.

For the hustle: Career and ambition boost

This full moon is basically your personal cheerleader for career wins. Take a minute to celebrate your recent accomplishments—nailed that presentation? Finished a tough project? Hell yes! If you’re brewing a bold new idea, this is the perfect time to visualise its success, ditch any doubts holding you back, and launch with full power.
