What Is the Strawberry Moon, Anyway?

Despite sounding like a mystical dessert you’d order at a fairy café, the Strawberry Moon is the name given to the full moon in June. The name originates from the Algonquin tribes of North America, who used the full moon in June to mark the time for harvesting wild strawberries. Sweet, right?

But make no mistake — this moon packs a punch. It's the last full moon of spring or the first of summer (depending on the year), and it's absolutely buzzing with energy. Think of it as the cosmic shift from flower crowns to fire pits.

Quick Facts:

• Occurs: Annually in June

• Name Origin: Native American tribes, especially the Algonquin

• Other Names: Rose Moon, Honey Moon, Mead Moon

• Vibe: Fruity, fertile, and full of magic

A Little Moon-y History

Long before Pinterest rituals and crystal reels on TikTok, the Strawberry Moon was a seasonal marker for indigenous peoples and agricultural societies around the world. While the name “Strawberry Moon” is attributed to Native American traditions, Europeans referred to the June full moon as the Rose Moon (hello, aesthetics), and in pagan circles, it often aligned with Litha, or the Summer Solstice — one of the eight Sabbats of the Wheel of the Year.

The moon also has romantic associations — the term "honeymoon" comes from June's popularity for weddings, with the full moon seen as a sign of fertility, love, and sweetness. And yes, some cultures even made mead from fermented honey and strawberries and drank it under this moon.

Because obviously, why wouldn’t you?

What Makes the Strawberry Moon So Magical?

The Strawberry Moon carries a unique blend of abundance, passion, sensuality, and ripening intentions. If the Spring moons are about planting seeds (literally and metaphorically), the June moon is when we start to see those seeds bloom — or rot, depending on how you’ve been tending your garden, witch.

This moon is ideal for

• Love magic

• Money manifestations

• Abundance rituals

• Fertility (creative or literal — your choice!)

• Inner growth & emotional clarity

Energetically, it’s like a Venus-in-a-sundress vibe: soft, sweet, alluring, but not afraid to burn the place down if needed. Hot girl solstice energy, if you will.

Strawberry Moon Rituals for the Novice Goddess

Ready to get witchy? Here are 5 simple, deliciously powerful ways to work with the Strawberry Moon’s energy:

Strawberry Moon Bath Ritual

Ingredients:

• Fresh strawberries (or strawberry essential oil)

• Rose petals

• Himalayan salt

• A splash of honey

• A pink candle

Run a warm bath, toss in your botanicals, and light your candle. As you soak, visualize all the sweetness you’re calling into your life — whether it’s love, money, peace, or just someone to text you back. Speak it out loud, goddess. Let the water hold your intentions.

Affirmation: “I am ripe with potential, love, and abundance.”

Write Yourself a Love Letter

The Strawberry Moon is prime time to romance yourself. Write a letter to future you, celebrating how far you’ve come and calling in your next glow-up. Seal it with a kiss (or lipstick print, don’t be shy) and stash it on your altar or under your pillow.

Bonus points: anoint it with rose oil or keep it next to a piece of rose quartz.

Moonlight Charging

Place your crystals, tarot cards, or even your manifestation list under the moonlight to soak up that strawberry-charged lunar energy. Pink stones like rhodochrosite, rose quartz, moonstone, and strawberry quartz are chef’s kiss under this moon.

Tip: Can’t see the moon? No worries. The energy is still present. The moon doesn’t need an RSVP to show up for your magic.

Bonfire Manifesting

If you’ve got access to a fire pit (or a safe cauldron situation), write down the things you’re ready to release, limiting beliefs, self-doubt, energy vampires. Burn them ceremoniously under the full moon and dance around the flames like the divine wild woman you are.

Bonus spell: Add a few drops of strawberry juice or wine to the flames while chanting your intention.

Host a Strawberry Moon Picnic

Yes, this is a ritual. Yes, eating berries in a cute outfit under the full moon with your favorite witches counts as magic.

Bring:

• Fresh fruit

• Sparkling wine or herbal tea

• Blankets, candles, and tarot cards

• A speaker for moody music

• A journal for sharing intentions

Take turns sharing what you’re calling in, and hype each other up like the coven baddies you are.

Spell Spotlight: Sweet Like Strawberry Honey Spell

Use this spell to boost charisma, attract love, or sweeten up a sour situation.

You’ll need:

• 1 fresh strawberry

• Honey

By moon and stars, let fate be kind.”

Seal it, keep it on your altar, and shake it gently anytime you need a little extra sweetness in your day.
