All over the world, June’s full moon signifies ripening and fullness of life. And June’s Strawberry Moon is naturally named after strawberries ripening in the summer sun (we all know how juicy our strawberries are) and will peak everywhere on Earth at the exact same time, around 9.30am BST (10.30am Malta time) on 17th June.

Particularly in Europe, terms like Honey Moon and Mead Moon in relation to the traditions of the June Full Moon present early summer as a time to wed. No wonder our Mays and Junes are jam-packed with weddings!

According to Higher Perspective, “the full moon rises in Sagittarius in the early hours of 17th June, bringing openness and curiosity to the fore, as it always does when it hosts the full moon.” But here’s everything you can expect this month:

1. Focus

2. Optimism

3. Feelings of security

4. Plenty of faith in your ability to make things happen

5. A sense of inspiration

6. Prosperity in personal and professional life

7. Financial goals reached
