🍓 The Strawberry Full Moon: A Wild Ripening

On June 11th, the sky spills over with light — the Strawberry Full Moon rises, sweet and full-bellied, kissing the edges of summer with a blushing glow. Named for the ripening wild strawberries of early June, this moon carries with it a sense of softness and satisfaction, the sacred pause before the solstice fire.

This is the moon of the heart — of honeyed dreams, swelling fruits, whispered “yeses,” and open arms. Under its silver gaze, we are invited to lean into sensuality, gratitude, and self-love. It’s not a time to push or pull — but to feel. To savour. To soften into what is already blooming.

✦ Themes of the Strawberry Moon

• Ripening – Dreams and desires planted earlier in the year are beginning to bear fruit.

• Love + Sensuality – A time to open the heart, indulge the senses, and explore connection.

• Gratitude – Honouring the journey and celebrating how far you’ve come.

• Release – Let go of what no longer feels sweet. The bitter can be composted.

This full moon is an invitation to meet yourself in your fullest expression — the wild, the soft, the sacredly untamed.

🌕 Ritual for the Strawberry Moon

Light your Lunar Candle, infused with lavender and moonstone, and create a circle of quiet devotion. Let your altar bloom — with petals, fruits, and herbs that speak to your spirit.

Try this ritual:

1. Anoint your heart or pulse points with rose or lavender oil. Breathe deeply.

2. Write down what has ripened for you since the start of the year. What have you created, nurtured, grown?

3. Hold a crystal to your heart — moonstone, rose quartz, or clear quartz are powerful allies here.

4. Speak aloud: “I am ripening. I am ready to receive the sweetness of my becoming.”

5. Release anything bitter, stale, or no longer aligned. Burn or bury the words under moonlight.

Drink a cup of strawberry or rose tea, and let yourself be held by the fullness of this moment.

🌿 Whisper from the Wild Daughter

This moon reminds us that we are cyclical beings, meant to blossom and soften, meant to shine and retreat, meant to savour every stage of becoming.

Let the wild strawberries remind you:

You are allowed to be sweet.

You are allowed to take up space.

You are allowed to be full.
