Peak Illumination: 08:44 BST (UK time)
As June unfolds and the summer solstice draws near, the Wheel of the Year turns once again. This month’s full moon rises under the name of the Strawberry Moon, glowing in the bold and truth-seeking sign of Sagittarius.
This is no quiet moon. It does not wait politely. It asks — directly and without hesitation — where you’ve outgrown your current path.
🍓 Why “Strawberry Moon”?
The name “Strawberry Moon” originates from the seasonal cycle — a nod to the time when wild strawberries ripen and abundance begins to bloom. It speaks of sweetness, fruition, and nature’s reminder that good things take time to develop.
But this year’s Strawberry Moon carries a deeper message.
🔥 Sagittarius Energy — The Call to Expand
Sagittarius is the eternal seeker — wild-hearted, philosophical, and unafraid to question everything. As a fire sign ruled by expansive Jupiter, its energy is not content with surface-level answers. It craves meaning. Truth. Freedom. Adventure. And under this full moon, that Sagittarian fire lights a path not just outward, but inward.
This is the zodiac’s great archer, aiming its arrow high into the sky, chasing dreams that might scare others. But Sagittarius isn’t afraid of the unknown. In fact, it thrives in it. It asks us to believe in possibility, to leap even if we can't yet see the landing, and to trust the wisdom that comes not from books or teachers — but from our own lived experience.
Under this moon, you may feel a restlessness stir. A sense that you’ve outgrown your current container. That the life you’re living, while once right for you, is now whispering for change. Sagittarius energy doesn’t come to destroy; it comes to liberate. To peel away the masks, the obligations, the narratives that no longer feel aligned, and to offer you a new compass — one guided by your inner truth.
This is a time to ask:
– What beliefs have I outgrown?
– Where have I been playing it safe?
– What is my soul truly yearning for?
And here’s the key: Sagittarius teaches us that we don’t need to have all the answers to begin. We only need the courage to take the first step — and the faith that the path will appear beneath our feet as we walk it.

🌌 Astrological Alignment & Collective Energy
This moon arrives at a time of movement — not chaos, but clarity.
– Mars in Leo adds heat and drive to our intentions, encouraging bold, heart-led action.
– Chiron offers a gentle undertone of healing, helping us find resolution through authenticity.
– Jupiter’s recent shift into Cancer brings a softer edge — reminding us that even as we seek new ground, we must nurture our roots.
This full moon creates space for you to reflect on what you believe, what you’re learning, and what it means to truly live a life in alignment with your soul.
This Moon Says: Trust the Leap
The Sagittarius Strawberry Moon arrives to stir your spirit, it says:
– “You are allowed to grow beyond the container you were placed in.”
– “Truth is not always comfortable, but it is always freeing.”
– “Let go of the story that says you’re not ready — you already are."

🌕 Ritual Suggestions for the Sagittarius Full Moon
1. Fire Ceremony for Release
Write down what feels heavy or restrictive — beliefs, fears, patterns and safely burn them under the moonlight. Watch the smoke rise and imagine your limitations dissolving into ash.
2. Moonlight Meditation
Sit quietly and feel the air on your skin. Breathe deeply into your body. Imagine an arrow of light extending from your heart into the horizon. Ask: “What is calling me forward?” or "What is holding me back?"
3. Journalling Prompts
– What truth have I been ignoring or denying?
– Where do I need more freedom in my life?
– What is the next brave step I can take towards my vision?

🌿 Final Thoughts — The Inner Horizon
This Strawberry Moon in Sagittarius is a sacred crossroad. It asks you to choose growth over comfort. Truth over illusion. Expansion over smallness.
It is not reckless. It is wise.
It knows that real freedom starts when we stop pretending we don’t already know the way.
Let this full moon be your reminder:
You are not lost. You are being invited to grow — and the map lives within you
