June – The Strawberry Moon

In essence, the Strawberry Moon is a time for embracing the positive energy of the season, celebrating accomplishments, and connecting with nature to foster personal growth and abundance.

The Strawberry Moon, occurring during June’s full moon, is named for the peak strawberry harvesting season in the Northern Hemisphere. Symbolically, it represents abundance, the ripening of fruits, and the flourishing of nature. It’s a time for reflection on the fruits of one’s labor, both spiritual and material, and for preparing for the hotter months ahead.

Other Native American tribes have called the lunar spectacular the Hot Moon and the Blooming Moon, to commemorate the spring season, and the Hatching Moon or Birth Moon to commemorate new life.

Outside of North America, Europeans have in the past dubbed it the Rose Moon or even the Honey Moon, as June is typically the first honey harvest of the year.
