Strawberry Full Moon
The Strawberry Full Moon is here to lend power to our choices and commitments, supporting us in making our own turning points in life—when we follow the calling of our inner, higher truth
The June Full Moon arrives just before the Summer Solstice and the turning of the solar year, creating a powerful portal for change, manifestation, healing, and expansion—with strong support for your next step in life, whatever that may be.
Full Moons occur when the Sun and Moon align at the same degree of opposing signs. They represent the culmination and maturation of a lunar cycle, allowing us to see the results and the fruits of what we’ve been working on.
The Strawberry Moon is here to help you ‘leap over.’ Whatever obstacle has held you back on your recent journey, it’s time to turn around—first in your mind, then in your life.
A Turning Point
The Strawberry Moon is calling you to commit to new choices that hold the potential to become a turning point in your life.
The universe operates under different laws than human laws, and one of the universal laws is the Law of Reciprocity. Nothing can be given to you that you won’t receive—and the universe, in its kindness, grants us the gift of free will, which works in the same way. In order to change a situation, you must ask for—and commit to—the change first.
The Strawberry Full Moon is a powerful time to reflect on what changes need to be made in your life and to formulate a prayer of optimism and hope to send out to the universe.
The tricky part is that, just like our bodies, most of our mind is made up of habits. Our mind prefers the same old, same old ideas and concepts because it favours the known and wants to play it safe. And just like we can feel resistance when changing our eating or workout routines, resistance can show up when we’re challenged to change our thoughts and ideas about something in our lives.
Leap over the word 'obstacle' and the idea that it cannot become. Make up your mind for your own higher truth and the new possibility that comes with each new day.
Balancing the Scales
The Strawberry Moon is an incredibly soft and kind moment of celestial support. It shines a light on the value of true security and comfort in your life and asks what that truly means to you.
It challenges you to consider the scales when making future life choices and commitments—to reflect on power balances and ask yourself: “What is the real trade here?” That job that gives you money and esteem but taxes your health and steals your passion—is it really the path to a wholesome life? That friend you always show up for, always listen to, but who cannot show up for you—is it truly worth your time and precious energy?
During this Full Moon, try to be honest with yourself. Allow yourself to feel into anything that drains your personal power pool. You can read more about power balances and explore four ways to make empowered choices here. .
Under this Full Moon, take some time to reflect, journal, make a simple fire ceremony, or go for a walk in nature—to fuel yourself with the grounding, nurturing energies, vitality, and creativity of Mother Earth.
Just like the strawberry fruits and flowers that light up with their little buds under the shining Full Moon, you are here to flower and bear fruit as well.
Don’t live a life that is ‘less than’ what you deserve. Living a full life is your birthright, and the Strawberry Moon wants you to feel into what that means to you—and to make new choices from that place.
Full Strawberry Moon Blessings,

Strawberry Moon Practices
TAKE TIME TO REFLECT
The days around the Full Moon are especially powerful for reflecting on the past cycle and acknowledging your growth. During the Strawberry Full Moon, take a moment to feel into everything that has come full circleor ‘full moon’ in your life. What are you grateful for?
Recite your gratitudes every night before sleep, and write them into your heart—or note them down on paper to be the first thing you see in the morning.
Gratitude is a magnet for miracles, and the Strawberry Full Moon is here to help your mind focus on all that is possible, laying the foundation to invite even more abundance and wonder into your life.
JOURNAL
The sages say there’s no better time to journal than under a Full Moon. Poets and writers have long sworn by its power. There is something undeniably magical about this lunar phase—it offers a unique moment for meditation, reflection, and journaling.
During the Strawberry Full Moon, try playing with WHAT IF.. questions and scenarios.
WHAT IF
What if you could make your wildest dream come true?
What if the only thing standing between you and what you desire is the courage to take the next step?
What if you believed what the Strawberry Moon whispers to you:
“You already have all it takes, sweet child of mine”?
