In 2025, you can see the Strawberry Moon on the early morning of Wednesday, June 11 if you don’t have a cloudy sky. However, it will appear most dramatic during dusk on Tuesday, June 10, low on the southeastern horizon — the lowest-hanging full moon of the year.

Where does the name Strawberry Moon come from?

This full moon is named “Strawberry Moon”, and it originates from Native American tribes such as the Algonquin, Ojibwe, and Lakota. According to the lore, these tribes used it to mark the ripening of wild strawberries - it was their way of knowing that wild strawberries are ready for picking. It has nothing to do with the moon’s color, though it may appear reddish near the horizon due to atmospheric filtering.

What is the lore behind it?

This Strawberry Moon actually has many names. Some cultures call it Berries Ripen Moon, Green Corn Moon, Mead Moon, or Honey Moon. No matter how you like to call this next full moon, it is celebrating the fertility, growth, and sweetness of early summer. Spiritually, the moon represents abundance, passion, and emotional clarity, offering a powerful moment to heal, release, and manifest.

What is the Strawberry Moon Ritual?

A Strawberry Moon ritual is a spiritual practice aligned with the energy of this full moon. It allows you to connect the power of the moon, set bold intentions, express gratitude, and release what needs to be released.

How to prepare for the Strawberry Moon ritual?

To prepare:

• Make your space clean and purified: Burn sage, incense, or essential oils.

• Ground yourself: Spend a few minutes meditating or journaling.

• Gather tools: Candles, crystals (like moonstone or rose quartz), tarot cards, and strawberries can enhance the energy.

• Know your intention: What do you wish to release or welcome?

“I have done many different moon magic rituals, and preparing is always such a fun part of it. I usually shower or take a bath before the ritual, because well, I also want to be clean. While cleaning myself, I always think about washing off all negative energy and everything that does not serve me anymore. I also love to burn palo santo or sage incense in the space I’m going to do a ritual - if I’m doing it outside, I also burn them, because I love the smell. To take time to really focus on my intention for a ritual, I love to take time to think about my intentions and even write them down.” - Caitlin
