Why is it Called a Strawberry Moon?

AWE A PINK MOON

We’ve had a very cosmic month. With a Mercury retrograde, an eclipse, to now a “strawberry moon,” we’ve been taken on a comic ride. Buckle up.

If you’re lucky enough to step outside as the full moon is rising tonight, Thursday, June 24th, then you’ll witness a peachy-pink and glorious full moon (it’ll look like it’s bathed in rosé). It’s the last super moon of 2021, and everyone, including astronomers, are excited to see this shimmy pink moon.

How did it get its name?

Although the moon can be “pinkish” in color, it did not get famous for its appearance. The name is based on the season when the moon rises. It’s strawberry season and can be seen in Framer’s Alamac. This spectacular celestial phenomenon has helped people harvest strawberries well into the night under the brightness of the moon.

What can you do?

#1) Go moon bathing (just like sunbathing but way more cosmic)

#2) Full moons are times for extra reflection

You can try:

• Illuminating situations or feelings that need your attention

• Honoring your moon cycles every month (that might run parallel to this super moon)

• Appreciating your divine feminine power (everybody has it…)

• Journaling and reflecting on the month

At OMNI, we celebrated this strawberry moon with strawberry-everything, even strawberry oatmeal bars. Though if you want to go out and see this spectacular moon with no expectations, then that sounds like a perfectly good cosmic night as well!
