June Full Moon, The Strawberry Moon, in Sagittarius, Wednesday June 11th, 2025
Once a month, the Full Moon illuminates the night sky. After two weeks of growing momentum, emotions rise asking to be honored. And that’s what the Strawberry Moon brings forth for us this month; an invitation for us to embrace our authenticity, commit to honoring the truth of who we are, and trek into uncharted territories. When the Moon is Full, we have an opportunity to gain awareness of something previously unclear or unconscious, as the light of the Sun illuminates our inner and emotional world. These oppositions are aspects of being polar opposites that activate two complementary signs and ask us to find a harmonious way of honoring both energies. The Moon in Sagittarius and the Sun in Gemini bring our attention to how we think, what we believe, and the lens through which we see the world.
The Gemini-Sagittarius polarity is all about learning. While Gemini relates to our close environment, our everyday surroundings, and short-distance travel, Sagittarius is all about distant cultures, foreign places, and unfamiliar lands. This Full Moon is an invitation to expand beyond our comfort zone, move toward uncharted territory, and search for answers in unfamiliar places.
During this time, we have an opportunity to see in what ways we may unconsciously keep ourselves small and stuck or hold ourselves back from growing in new directions. We are being challenged to notice where we may be excessively attached to our beliefs and assumptions: this Full Moon emphasizes the dangers of identifying with ideologies and clinging to fixed ways of thinking and seeing the world. This month is about reclaiming our freedom, our voice, and our role as leaders in our lives. This event reminds us that meaning is not something we find; it is something we consciously create, something we choose to create and cultivate every day.
How to harness the power of this celestial event:
Meditation: During the full moon period, meditating can help ease some of the discomfort felt by the shifting energies. It also can help bring about clarity of the next step or phase of our Journey. Meditating can be done in silence or with a guide, there is no wrong way to do it, it helps us all be in the Present.
Crystal Charging: Crystals can be recharged monthly under the light of the full moon. They utilize the energies of this celestial body to cleanse the captured energies within. NEVER charge your crystals under a solar eclipse. To recharge your crystals between Full Moons, place them in the Earth for a few hours, cleanse them with Sea Salt, or perform Reiki on them.
Cleansing: Cleansing rituals under a Full Moon are extremely beneficial for the Soul. Draw a bath with essential oils and incense to calm the Body and Mind. Smudging your space with Sage can cleanse the energies of where you physically are to bring about a sense of Peace. Use this time to reset and rebalance the energies you surround yourself with.
Intention Setting: To set intentions during a Full Moon helps our Mind and Spirit align with what we want manifest for ourselves. It is a powerful time to be authentic and truthful with the Universe to make sure our Highest Self is being served.
Expressing Gratitude: Being gracious with what the Universe has already given our Mind, Body, and Spirit allows us to be open to continue receiving the gifts and knowledge for more growth on our Journey
