The strawberry moon, the first full moon of the summer, is set to illuminate the skies in June. Coinciding with the summer solstice, this year’s strawberry moon holds special significance for various cultures worldwide. Celebrity astrologer Kyle Thomas shared insights on how to maximize the energy of this full moon.
The peak illumination of the strawberry full moon in 2024 will be on June 21 at 9:08 p.m. E.T. This celestial event will last for about three days, from Thursday evening through Sunday morning.
Named the “strawberry moon” by some Native American tribes due to the short strawberry harvest season, it is also known as the “honey moon” in some European cultures. The connection between the full moon and weddings is evident, with the term “honeymoon” possibly originating from the custom of gifting newlyweds mead made from fermented honey.
A rare occurrence, the alignment of the full moon with the summer solstice is memorable. This year’s strawberry moon falls just a day after the solstice, making it a unique phenomenon.
Positioned in Capricorn, the strawberry moon holds significance for legacy-building and domestic matters. Astrologer Kyle Thomas highlights the importance of incorporating nature into rituals to harness the full moon’s potent energy.
Furthermore, Thomas provides horoscope insights for each zodiac sign during this vibrant period. From professional breakthroughs to relationship reassessments, the strawberry moon is poised to influence various aspects of life.
