The traditional names given to the full moons come from a number of locations and historical periods, including Native American, colonial American, and European sources.
The full moon that falls in June is commonly referred to as the “Strawberry Moon” – a name derived from Native Americans. Because June is traditionally a time when wild strawberries are ready for harvest in North America.
“The full moon of June was named by several indigenous peoples, including members of the Algonquin, Ojibwe, Dakota and Lakota peoples, after what translates to ‘strawberry moon’ in English, to mark the ripening of wild strawberries
The Strawberry Moon is ‘ripe’ with spiritual meaning, as mentioned it refers to the nutritious wild food staple that was only available for a short time each year.
It also perfectly aligns with the Full Moon’s general spiritual significance of enlightenment, illumination, and setting fresh, new intentions.
Other historical nicknames for June’s full moon include Honey Moon, Blooming Moon, and Rose Moon, as according to the Old Farmer’s Almanac, are synonymous with the sense of sweetness in the air during the early summer months when fragrant gardens reached their peak.
Love and luck also bear spiritual significance to the June Strawberry Supermoon, as according to the Almanac, June was seen as a particularly lucky time to marry.
June is named after the Roman goddess of marriage, Juno. Following marriage comes the ‘honeymoon’, which could refer to the alternative Moon name.
When exploring the Moon’s full spiritual meaning, it’s also key to consider the zodiac placement in which it transits.
This Supermoon will take place in the fiery sign of Sagittarius, known to astronomers as the explorer Moon.
Following the tumultuous months with Mercury in retrograde - an illusion that makes Mercury appear to travel backwards and can be seen to complicate communication, the Sagittarius Full Moon heralds renewal, clarity, and a sense of adventure.
“The Full Moon is here to illuminate your way forward, helping you to wrap up the first half of the year, tie up loose ends and decide who you want to be and what you want to create in the second half.”
Use this Moon to leave behind anything you don’t want to take into the second half of the year, so you can “adventure into summer, open yourself up to all that’s possible, and grab opportunities as they come along”.
While the Strawberry Moon takes place in the Sagittarius, some believe it can have a physical impact on the body.
According to astrology, your hip joints, hip muscles, liver, lumbar muscle, lumbar vertebra, sacrum, tail bone and thigh bones are all more sensitive while the Moon is in Sagittarius, so make sure to take extra care

Ahh, magic is always around us!!!!
I believe I'm a wizard now I can't stop messing with Earth, Air, Fire, and Wind of the creator in such a good way though I'm using my own inner Charka senses daily and uses my 3rd eye to pick up senses and see more and feel more and smell more things you're not supposed to smell I smell Demon's & Angels, The Past Living people. I reached a point in my life where I can Touch the creator now and control it just takes practice which includes perfection, I accepted a part of myself that I'm part Wizard I had a very long journey.
