The 2025 full Strawberry moon will rise and shine on Wednesday, June 11 at 3:44 A.M EST — peaking at 20 degrees of Sagittarius.
In an affront to whimsy, the Strawberry Moon is not named for the moon’s color, but rather for the season of fruition to which it lends its light.
Meaning of the Strawberry Moon
According to the Farmer’s Almanac, June’s full moon was known by the Algonquin, Ojibwe, Dakota, Lakota, Chippewa, Oneida, and Sioux tribes as the Strawberry Moon, as the first flush of summer coincides with the wild and widespread ripening of the fruit.
It’s best to view a full Moon when it appears on the eastern horizon, just after the sun sets in the west — in this case, peak lunar peeping will be moonrise on Tuesday evening.
Author and tarot reader Kerry Ward illuminates what lies ahead and within for each zodiac sign under the light of this ever loving lunation.
“The Full Moon in Sagittarius is an eye opener, a horizon broadener, and a game changer. What are your most authentic desries; where you want to go, who you want to become, and what you want to spend your precious time here doing?”
Ward shared that regardless of zodiac sign, we can all access and embrace the honest, active and lucky qualities of the Sagittarius archetype.
“The dreams that surface and you decide to bring into real life this Strawberry Full Moon could change everything,” she told The Post.

Air signs – Gemini, Libra, Aquarius
The Magician
Ward assures Air signs that the Strawberry Moon will clarify their purpose and shed light on an actionable plan forward.
“You are going to make the biggest mental leap of 2025 this Full Moon. You will feel deeply and truly that you possess all of the power, creativity, determination, and force to manifest your dreams and ideas.”
She maintains that this month marks the move from thinking to believing.
“It’s time to become the magician, to make magic, to put the fantasies in action.”
Fire signs – Aries, Leo, Sagittarius
The Chariot
Ward notes that Fire signs will find themselves preoccupied with place this Full Moon.
“All Fire signs are afflicted with wanderlust — but now more than ever, this is an advantage as a change in landscape is a change in opportunities. The Chariot gives you the green light to move and move on. If you went somewhere else, what doors could open?”
Known more for knee jerk reaction than measured response, Ward shared that it is imperative that fire folk do their research.
“Most importantly, bring a purpose to your travels or moves. Put ambition at the heart of all decisions. What you think about now could be in place by the end of July, and it will be a major turning point in your life.”
Water signs – Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces
Ten of Cups
Relationships are the focus for Water signs during this powerful, fertile Full Moon.
“The Ten of Cups shows that this Full Moon will reveal your ideal vision of love to you.”
Ward assured that what being in the imagination can become the bedrock for happily ever after.
“If you’re single, look for a fellow Water sign. If you’re attached, act as though you and your partner are already living that vision, do the things you’d do in an ideal partnership… a shift from you will shift the whole dynamic. Ten days from now, everything could be glowy and gorgeous!”
Earth signs – Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn
Temperance
Ward asks Earth signs, “How can you make your life easier, more flowing, and more aligned with your nature and desires?”
Temperance indicates that the beauty of balance can be achieved not through radical change — but thoughtful adjustments to the minutiae of the everyday.
“Amplify the good, release the negative. Stop the stale. Plan, research, analyse, audit, and create a new schedule that fully supports you fully living the life you want.”
