The Strawberry Moon, a symbolic full moon occurring on June 11, 2025, will bring a mix of heightened emotions, resurfaced issues, and a need for important decisions. According to astropsychologist Alexandra Kurnikova, this full moon, the last before the summer solstice, takes place against a backdrop of spiritual seeking and the need to prioritize life.

Occurring in Sagittarius at 20°38′, in opposition to the Sun in Gemini, this full moon creates tension between reason and faith, logic and intuition, and facts and meanings. The name “Strawberry Moon” originates from Native American traditions, marking the time for harvesting strawberries. In European tradition, it signifies the beginning of the warm season, growth, and fertility.

Kurnikova emphasizes that the full moon in Sagittarius is about the search for meaning and personal truth. It highlights the realization that old norms no longer inspire, urging individuals to look beyond the familiar and question their direction.

Several factors complicate the 2025 Strawberry Moon: Jupiter, Sagittarius’s ruler, moved into Cancer on June 9, intensifying emotional themes and bringing attention to family matters. The tense aspect between Jupiter and Saturn creates internal conflict between the desire for growth and the need for discipline. The growing square between Mars in Leo and Uranus in Taurus adds further tension, potentially leading to unexpected failures and sudden changes.

This astrological backdrop suggests that the full moon may not be a simple culmination but a realization that old meanings no longer suffice, and new ones are still forming. June 11 will be a mentally, emotionally, and socially busy day, potentially bringing internal insights, conflicts over beliefs, information overload, and a desire for abrupt changes.

Kurnikova advises against impulsive decisions on June 11, suggesting it is a better day for introspection and honest self-reflection. She recommends making time for silence, writing down insights, and letting go of what no longer holds meaning.
