A Fire Moon for Wild Visions + Bold Departures

The Strawberry Full Moon in Sagittarius arrives on June 11 at 12:44 AM PST / 3:44 AM EST, closing the chapter of spring and ushering us into the long heat of summer. This is the last full moon of the season, a fiery portal of endings, momentum, and transformation. Don’t let the sweet name fool you, this moon isn’t just about fruit and flowers. It’s about truth, direction, and choosing freedom over fear.

Why Is It Called the “Strawberry” Moon?

The name “Strawberry Moon” originates from the Algonquin tribes of North America, who used the lunar calendar to track seasonal shifts and harvest times. June and early July marked the season for gathering ripened strawberries, a time of abundance, sweetness, and fertility. European colonists adopted the name, and it stuck. While strawberries don’t grow in every region, the symbolism has endured: this moon is a reminder of natural ripening, when what’s been growing under the surface is finally ready to be picked or released.

The Astrology of the Strawberry Full Moon in Sagittarius

Sagittarius is a sign of truth, freedom, and future-thinking and with the Full Moon conjunct Mars, this lunation hits hard. It’s not passive. It demands motion. There’s momentum building behind your dreams, and this moon wants you to do something with it. Expect heightened passion, courage, and intensity. You might feel lit up and restless. Use that fire to act, not impulsively, but intentionally.

The Nodes of Destiny are also activated, reminding you that this isn’t just about what you want, it’s about your path forward. Will you stay stuck where it’s safe, or leap toward something more aligned? Sagittarius favors risk when it’s tied to purpose. This is a portal moment. What’s on the other side of your leap?

The Full Moon also aligns with the fixed star Sabik, known for its mischievous, cunning, and investigative nature. Sabik doesn’t like to take things at face value. It digs, it plots, it strategizes for success—blending artistry with intelligence. Under this influence, you’re invited to become more intentional with your dreams. Think beyond surface manifestations. What are you really building? Why do you want it?

On the shadow side, Sabik can stir up envy, sabotage, or unhealthy competition. Check your motives. Are you moving from alignment, or from fear of being left behind?

What This Moon Means for the Collective?

This moon is a turning point. We’re being asked to say goodbye to outdated narratives and old beliefs that no longer serve us. Sagittarius energy is all about the higher road, not morally, but vibrationally. It’s the part of you that knows what you’re capable of when you stop playing small or shrinking around others’ comfort.

We’re moving toward a collective re-enchantment—one where imagination, artistry, and risk are the currency. This moon helps clear away distractions so we can move with bold, clear

How to Work With This Full Moon Energy?

1. Get honest. Sagittarius rules truth. What truth are you avoiding? What beliefs are keeping you small?

2. Burn a bridge (with love). Not all exits are dramatic. Some are quiet and liberating. Release what’s blocking your growth—ritually, spiritually, or emotionally.

3. Write a vision plan. Mars + Sag = strategic fire. Map your next steps. Set intentions around bold moves and personal freedom.

4. Ritual under firelight. Candles, campfire.
