2025 Full Strawberry Moon in Sagittarius: A low-hanging moon and some hard-hitting truths
Arrows up, tops off, folks, the full Strawberry Moon will rise and shine on Wednesday, June 11 at 3:44 A.M EST, peaking at 20 degrees of Sagittarius.
When is the Full Moon in June 2025
Peak lunar peeping will be moonrise on Tuesday evening, around 8:30 PM for New Yorkers.
On account of this year's Major Lunar Standstill and our proximity to the summer solstice, the Strawberry Moon will be the lowest-riding moon we've seen in decades.
Full moons are always synonymous with release and of things, both literal and figurative, being brought to light. But, in the truth venerating sign of Sagittarius, this baring and bringing is amplified, so brace yourself for the shocking and the shattering, my dudes.

Also, upon the altar of honesty, the Sag moon asks us to uphold the slow knowing of wisdom over unverified, albeit dopamine-massaging, hogwash.
Where will the flaming arrows of righteousness strike you? Look to the house in your birth chart ruled by Sagittarius.
Remember, folks, Sag is ruled by luck-doling, world-expanding, pocket-lining, optimism as opium Jupiter, meaning if you are open to receiving truth, no matter how rocking, it will ultimately aid and abet a necessary perspective shift or path switch.
Further, when the full moon comes around this week, Jupiter will have just set up shop in Cancer, the sign of its exaltation, and a sign ruled by the moon. Meaning? This moon legitimately rules over itself and in that sacred sovereignty illuminates that we too are best suited to express and receive when we stay true, live free, and stand apart with curious compassion instead of furious judgment.

Symbolized by the centaur, Sagittarius represents the push and pull between animal need and divine aspiration. As the embodiment of 'shoot your shot' ethos, the Sag moon asks us why we doubt our capacity to have everything we want, and quite frankly, what the hell we're afraid of/waiting for.
Sag is also the bugle call of the wild, pushing us to run barefoot through the forest — that low, irrefutable octave evoking our lustful and free-wheeling nature, begging us to let the good times roll.
During the full moon, we'll still be in the waning throes of Venus square Pluto, where issues of self-worth and possessiveness, obsession and undermining, coercion and manipulation are being unearthed. What about yourself, do you still struggle to love, what are you excluding that's asking to be integrated? Where are you holding on for dear life, and how is that death grip draining you of your life force?
Pluto is no picnic, yet the energy here is lost for the goal of greater growth. He taketh away so he can giveth back anew, and any relationships that are undone during this lunation were ultimately binding us to a past we have outgrown and a love we have outrun.
Sag is also the bugle call of the wild, pushing us to run barefoot through the forest — that low, irrefutable octave evoking our lustful and free-wheeling nature, begging us to let the good times roll.
We're definitely poised to hear some thunder roll and some truth spoken, but trust that whatever is spilled will, like blood, s–t, and ashes to soil, feed our personal growth and the transformational cycle of others.
Keep your wits about you, my babies, and while you're shooting your shot, try not to shoot off at the mouth as warlord Mars in Leo squaring off against wild-out Uranus in Taurus, a rebellious aspect that engenders disruption, outbursts, and dramatic upheaval.

Further, this Full Moon plays host to a grand trine of fire (band name) as the Moon in Sagittarius will trine Mars in Leo and Chiron in Aries.
Grand trines create synergy between planetary energies, and in fire signs, this synergy supports willpower and actionable vision.
Mars says fear nothing, the Sag moon says all things are possible, and Chiron says your pain is your power source. In turn, this moon asks us to speak true, walk tall and cross the threshold from victim to wisened, rewilded survivor.

The full moon occurs when the moon is directly opposite the sun in its orbit around Earth, highlighting a zodiac polarity.
This go-round, we have the sun in 'chaos as cardio, conversation as sacrament' Gemini opposing the moon in the 'may the road go on forever and the party never end' sign of Sagittarius.
What unites these signs more than a love of nitrous balloons, s–t talking, and mischief is an allegiance to wonder/wander.
Marine biologist, writer, and conservationist Rachel Carson, herself a Gemini sun and Sagittarius moon, embodies the open, outspoken nature of this axis.
In her seminal book 'Silent Spring,' she writes, 'One way to open your eyes is to ask yourself, 'What if I had never seen this before? What if I knew I would never see it again?'
In honor of seeking and seeing, I hope you'll adopt a similar attitude of fleeting, feral rapture.
Strawberry Moon Meaning
6 Because this full moon is taking place in a mutable sign, those with personal placements in Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, and Pisces will feel its effects most acutely.

In a shocking affront to whimsy, the Strawberry Moon is not named for the moon's color but for the season of fruition to which it lends its light.
According to the Farmer's Almanac, the full moon in June was known by the Algonquin, Ojibwe, Dakota, Lakota, Chippewa, Oneida, and Sioux tribes as the Strawberry Moon, as the first flush of summer coincides with the wild and widespread ripening of the fruit.
Apropos of Gemini and Sagittarius being the zodiac's most shameless flirts, the Arapaho of the Great Plains call this moon the 'Moon When the Buffalo Bellows', a reference to the mating calls of those mythic creatures.
Similarly, the Inupiat and Tlingit peoples of Alaska call June's moon the Moon of Birthing, as many a mammal coughs out their offspring this time of year to give their young a fighting chance at survival before the onset of winter.

Neo-pagan religions call June's full moon the Planting Moon, and in Europe, it's known as the Rose Moon, as it's the time of year when the favored flower of poets and guilty parties blooms best.
In many places and many tongues, this moon is a symbol of fruition and vitality, hope and abandon/abundance.
Because this full moon is taking place in a mutable sign, those with personal placements in Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, and Pisces will feel its effects most acutely.

Daily Horoscope for June 19, 2025
General Daily Insight for June 19, 2025 There is practically no such thing as boundaries today. We'll have no problem jumping to the heart of any matter at hand as the Moon in Aries sextiles Pluto in Aquarius first thing. The world will take on all the vibrancy and fragmented beauty of an Impressionist painting when enthusiastic Jupiter in Cancer squares illusory Neptune in Aries at 6:50 am EDT. With Mars in Virgo then making a quincunx to Saturn, also in Aries, it'll be difficult to settle on one distinct strategy. Aries March 21 – April 19 It isn't currently easy to know what to do with all your emotions. Your feelings are larger than life while boundless Jupiter is spinning along through your sensitive 4th house, even as its square to foggy Neptune in your headstrong sign could make it rather difficult to figure out how to express them. What feels like a big deal could blow over in just a little while, and you won't know why you got worked up in the first place. Avoid overreacting. Taurus April 20 – May 20 Your immediate vicinity may resemble a wonderland more than the regular landscape you know. Excitable Jupiter in your local community sector tangles with magical Neptune in your dreamy 12th house for a confusing square, so everything is a bit out of proportion at the moment. That said, your usual routine might lead you down rabbit holes when you least expect them. The resulting adventure should be quite thrilling, if a little lacking in productive or disciplined energy, but that hardly matters. Have fun! Gemini May 21 – June 20 An atmosphere of generosity is shimmering in the air. A mind-stretching square between Jupiter in your invested 2nd house and Neptune in your humanitarian 11th house could inspire you to give your time or resources to a worthy cause. This is all good in theory, but Neptune can obscure the truth. Be sure to do your research before you start making any contributions, because the last thing you want is to find out that the organization in question is less than noble after donating. Cancer June 21 – July 22 You have endless energy, but knowing how to channel it wisely is another matter entirely. Your enthusiasm is off the charts while lucky Jupiter is moving along through your sign, bestowing all its blessings upon you. Opposingly, Jupiter's square to Neptune in your ambitious 10th house can cast a veil over the clear path forward. You may have a dozen different ideas and aspirations, but you'll do better if you just focus on a few of them, rather than trapping yourself with too many choices. Leo July 23 – August 22 Your dreams can take you all the way over the rainbow! There is a rare square between Jupiter in your fantastical 12th house and Neptune in your adventurous 9th house, practically begging you to soar off to parts unknown like an untethered balloon. This likely sounds very exciting, and it can indeed bring a lot of pleasure to your life. Still, be careful about flying so far away that you have no idea where you've wound up or how to get back home again. Virgo August 23 – September 22 Shadows may seem to creep into even the brightest of moments today. You are ready to come together and enjoy life with others while Jupiter is dancing through your affable 11th house — at least until that enthusiastic planet trips over mysterious Neptune in your secretive 8th house. This stumble could add a layer of fog to everything. Watch out for the temptation to read between the lines, because you might find some scandalous notions there, only to realize they aren't founded in reality. Libra September 23 – October 22 People may mean well, but that doesn't mean they are entirely reliable. You want to accomplish a lot and make a name for yourself while Jupiter is in your 10th House of Career, yet its square to illusory Neptune in your 7th House of Alignments will make it difficult to know who you can count on for a boost. Someone may promise you the stars, but being able to deliver them is another matter altogether. Self-sufficiency is very important right now. Scorpio October 23 – November 21 Reality is for the birds. The temptation to leave your usual responsibilities on the back burner will be strong while Jupiter in your outstretched 9th house pokes Neptune in your routine 6th house. They're supplying the inspiration to search for something new and exciting. That is all well and good — go ahead and explore something that fascinates you. Just remember that Neptune's haziness will make it easy to miss something important, so keep your senses alert even while on your whirlwind adventure. Sagittarius November 22 – December 21 It isn't always easy to know where to seek pleasure. You may feel pulled all over the place in your search for satisfaction as Jupiter in your intimate 8th house squares Neptune in your freewheeling 5th house. One moment you want to keep your circle small and your actions private, the next you want to find the cosmic spotlight and let everyone know exactly what you're all about. Ask yourself if there is any reason that you can't keep some things subtle while declaring others. Capricorn December 22 – January 19 Let people into your life. Jupiter in your relationship sector is bringing plenty of positive people your way, who all have their own ideas and opportunities to offer. With Jupiter squaring Neptune in your emotional sector, you'll probably be more than happy to let them in without question. On the other hand, Neptune can blur boundaries, so make sure you aren't letting someone take up more space than necessary or giving away more of yourself than is wise for your life in the long run. Aquarius January 20 – February 18 Today may fly by like a whirlwind. There is a potent square between Jupiter in your can-do 6th house and Neptune in your wordy 3rd house. Their debate could leave you feeling like you're in the midst of a tennis match, with the ball bouncing back and forth at the speed of light. Instead of trying to keep your eye on the ball, give yourself permission to sit back and enjoy the show. It won't be easy to play the game properly right now. Pisces February 19 – March 20 Be wary of throwing your money around. You have every right to enjoy yourself while fun-loving Jupiter is dancing along through your 5th House of Happiness, but its square to Neptune in your 2nd House of Income could make it seem like you need to spend more than usual to make it happen. It will be easy to get caught up in the general excitement, but stick to a budget, or you could regret your actions when the fun parade finally moves on.

After June Strawberry Moon, when is the next full moon? What to know about July's Buck Moon
June's full moon, the Strawberry Moon, just passed last week. It was the lowest full moon since 2006 and the last until 2043. Next up is the July full moon, called the Buck Moon. And it's just about three weeks away. Here's what to know about the July full moon, why it's called the Buck Moon, when to see it from Florida and some alternative names for it. The next full moon will be on Thursday, July 10, and reach peak illumination at 4:37 p.m. ET, according to The Old Farmer's Almanac. The July full moon is called the Buck Moon because male deer (called bucks) have full-grown antlers at this time of year. Bucks shed and regrow their antlers annually, and they get bigger and more impressive each year. 'Male deer antlers begin to grow in late spring. Antlers grow as fast as a quarter of an inch per day or one and one-half inches per week during this period, making them the fastest-growing bones in the world,' The Farmers' Almanac says. 'Antlers grow from the pedicel in the buck's skull. The lengthening daylight in spring triggers the hormones that start the growth each spring. Buck antlers can easily be spotted in full velvet come July.' Here are some other names for the July full moon, : Salmon Moon, The Haida and Tlingit of Alaska Time Of Much Ripening Moon, The Mohawk in the Eastern Woodlands Blackberry Moon, The Shawnee in the Midwestern region When The Chokecherries Are Black Moon, The Lakota in the Northern Plains Squash Are Ripe Moon, The Algonquin from the Northeast to Great Lakes Limbs Are Broken By Fruit Moon, The Zuni in New Mexico Ripe Corn Moon, Cherokee Nations in the Carolinas Wyrt, Herb and/or Mead Moon, Celtic culture Hay Moon, Anglo-Saxon culture To see the July Buck Moon from Florida, look toward the southeast after sunset on Thursday, July 10. Although a full moon only stays truly full for a moment, it still appears full to the naked eye for a few days. The July full moon will reach peak illumination at 4:37 p.m. ET. 'The moon appears full to the eye for two to three nights,' according to EarthSky. 'However, astronomers regard the moon as full at a precisely defined instant, when the moon is exactly 180 degrees opposite the sun in ecliptic longitude.' There are 12 full moons each year, one in every month. Each month's full moon has a nickname or a variety of nicknames. Including the Buck Moon in July, six full moons are left in 2025. Here's a list of 2025's full moon dates: January 13: Wolf Moon February 12: Snow Moon March 14: Worm Moon April 12: Pink Moon May 12: Flower Moon June 11: Strawberry Moon July 10: Buck Moon August 9: Sturgeon Moon September 7: Corn Moon October 6: Harvest Moon November 5: Beaver Moon December 4: Cold Moon This article originally appeared on Florida Times-Union: July full moon is the Buck Moon.

When is the July full moon 2025? How to see it and what makes it special
The full Buck Moon will be on the rise next month, following up on the display of June's Strawberry Moon. The Buck Moon, a Native American term, is called as such because "the antlers of male deer (bucks) are in full-growth mode at this time," according to the Farmer's Almanac. "Bucks shed and regrow their antlers each year, producing a larger and more impressive set as the years go by." Here's what to know. It will rise on July 10, 2025, according to the Farmer's Almanac. When the sun goes down that day, stargazers can look towards the southeast to see the full moon. According to the Farmer's Almanac, they include: Feather Moulting Moon (Cree) Salmon Moon, (Tlingit) Berry Moon (Anishinaabe) When the Chokecherries are Ripe (Dakota) Month of the Ripe Corn Moon (Cherokee) Raspberry Moon (Algonquin, Ojibwe) Thunder Moon (Western Abenaki) Halfway Summer Moon (Anishinaabe) A full moon can be seen clearly with the naked eye. But in a past interview with USA Today Network, Tim Brothers, Massachusetts Institute of Technology technical Instructor and observatory manager, said with any case of stargazing, it's much better if you're using a good telescope or a pair of binoculars. According to Time and Date, they include: Sturgeon Moon: Aug. 9, 2025 Corn Moon: Sept. 7, 2025 Harvest Moon: Oct. 6, 2025 Beaver Moon: Nov. 5, 2025 Cold Moon: Dec. 4, 2025 This article originally appeared on The Providence Journal: When is the next full moon?
