This Strawberry Moon will be unusual
as it will be a Full Moon on the beginning on Summer Solstice. It is a rare event, occurring
only once in a lifetime. Strawberry Moon
(or Rose Moons in Europe) derives its name from the harvest time for such fruit
among the Algonquin tribes. Another of
this month’s Sagittarius Full Moons (See my article FlowerMoon: Full Moon in Sagittarius), It is a time of exploration
of one’s needs and requirements. What are the things you need to feed and nurture
you? But rather than just meditating upon such concerns, Sagittarius will
encourage you to physically seek out those things that will satisfy said needs.
Much like the Algonquin seeking out strawberries, find those sweet and
compelling items to satisfy your hungers. Unlike the Flower Full Moon, which
was buffeted by the Mercury Retrograde in Taurus, This Full moon is a great
time to engage in and pursuit new projects. Full moon lends a nurturing energy to
new endeavors. The only caveat at this time is that Saturn current position in Sagittarius
will also provide greater challenges and obstacles. Just Saturn’s way of
keeping you on point
This full moon on the cusp of the Summer Solstice should
offer the warm, stimulating energies to elevate your perceptions and senses
with regards to any and all plans. If we
take in account the Sun’s entry into Cancer on the June 22, dwelling upon the
concerns of the Moon may prove very beneficial and synchronicitous.
Fiery moons are known for their capricious, high dramatic
natures, so work with the grounding elements of Saturn to stay focus upon what
really matters to you.
Sagittarius’,
with the Sun’s entry into Gemini, this full moon should offer ideas and
inspiration. Find that which you resonate with and after the 23rd, start
working on your plans! Gemini’s, this moon will offer priorities and clear
agendas. Seek to feed yourself on whatever level you need.
Recognizing
what you need and what will enrich and sustain your being will play an
important part of the upcoming week. Revel and embrace the Strawberry Moon as
you enter the Summer season
