The moon returns to her fullest glow, casting a spell across the sky. This one’s extra sweet: the Strawberry Moon peaks in Sagittarius on Wednesday, June 11, at 3:44 a.m. ET. Each month, the full moon invites us to reflect inward on our feelings, desires, and direction for the month ahead. With the solstice near and your summer love horoscope promising steamy adventures, this lunar event is a portal to unforgettable experiences. You’ve called this summer in—now the Strawberry full moon lights the way to enjoy it.
Here’s the astrology behind the Strawberry Moon, plus three lunar rituals to try.
What Is a Strawberry Moon?
The Strawberry Moon is June’s full moon, named for the season when strawberries ripen to their sweetest, most vibrant state. Each month, the full moon marks the peak of the lunar cycle, illuminating the sky and stirring our emotions. These moons are traditionally named after seasonal shifts in nature, reminding us of our connection to the Earth’s rhythms. The Strawberry Moon invites us to harvest the fruits of our labor—and savor what we’ve grown.
What June’s Strawberry Moon Means Spiritually
The spiritual meaning of the Strawberry Moon reflects the sweet reward of your efforts so far this year. June marks the midpoint of the calendar, and this full moon arrives just before the summer solstice—the year’s longest, most light-filled day. Since January, you’ve been planting seeds and tending to your dreams. Now, the Strawberry Moon invites you to savor what’s blossomed. Indulge in your growth, honor your progress, and celebrate how far you’ve come.
3 Rituals to Try Under the Strawberry Full Moon
1. Strawberry Crystal Grid
Full moons heighten our emotions, and under the glow of the Strawberry Moon, we’re invited to savor the sweetness of the moment. If you’re looking to capture this lunar magic energetically, a strawberry crystal grid is a beautiful ritual to try.
To begin, gather a decorative scarf, a space beneath the moonlight, and a handful of your favorite pink and clear crystals. Settle into stillness outside. Meditate on how far you’ve come and everything you’re proud of—even if things didn’t go as planned, you made it here. That’s worth honoring.
Once your heart feels clear, start laying your crystals on the scarf in a pattern that feels aligned to you. Trust your intuition to guide the design. When your grid feels complete, take a photo to preserve the energy, then leave your crystals out overnight to charge in the moonlight.
You now have a set of Strawberry Moon–charged crystals to return to whenever you need a little extra sweetness, love, or celebration in your life.
2. Strawberry Honey Jar Spell
The Strawberry Moon is all about celebrating life’s sweetness, and a honey jar spell is a lovely way to honor that energy, whether solo or with your favorite coven of friends.
Grab a sealable jar, strawberry oil or essence, honey (regular or strawberry-infused), and any meaningful ingredients: rose petals, small crystals, sugar, dried herbs, coins, photos, manifestation notes, or natural objects.
Create a cozy, magical space. Light pink, red, or white candles to honor the Strawberry Moon, play soothing music, and ground yourself in the moment. Write a heartfelt note that captures your intentions—what you’re ready to receive or amplify—and place it in the jar. Cover it with honey and a few drops of strawberry essence. Then, add your chosen ingredients intuitively.
When your jar feels complete, seal it and drip pink, red, or white candle wax over the lid to create a wax seal. Place it on your altar or in a sacred space. Any time you need to attract sweetness or call in your desires, shake the jar gently and whisper your intentions aloud.
3. Strawberry Milk Ritual Bath
The Strawberry Moon is a gentle invitation to slow down and savor life. If you’re craving simple self-care, a strawberry milk ritual bath is a luxurious, love-soaked way to unwind.
Start by grabbing some strawberry-scented oils, a milk-based bubble bath (or bath milk), and a candle in a sweet scent—strawberry, rose, honey, or lavender all work beautifully. Run a warm bath and take your time turning your bathroom into a cozy little oasis. Set everything up with love. Let it feel soft, romantic, and whimsical—because you deserve that.
Put on your favorite playlist, light your candle, and allow yourself to melt into the moment. When you’re ready, slip into the bath and soak in the sweetness. Let the water hold you. Linger for as long as you need. This is your time.
After your bath, extend the ritual. Pamper your skin with your favorite lotions, oils, or perfumes. Then, close the night with a journal entry—write down what you love about yourself, what you’re proud of, and what you’re ready to welcome in the second half of the year.
