expired and plant the deeperintentions that align with your

(02:12):
the strawberry moon, how thisenergy impacts your
relationships and emotionalwell-being and, most importantly
, what rituals and practices youcan use to truly work with this
moon instead of just watchingit.
Pass by, grab your journal,light a candle and let's step
into this moonlit portaltogether.
(02:33):
Viari the meaning of thestrawberry moon.
Despite what the name mightsuggest, the strawberry moon
doesn't actually turn pink orred.
The strawberry moon doesn'tactually turn pink or red.
Its name comes from theAlgonquin tribes of North
America, who recognized thisfull moon as the signal that
wild strawberries were ripe forharvesting.
But energetically, it's so muchmore than a mark on the
(02:54):
calendar it's a deeply spiritualcheckpoint.
The strawberry moon typicallyarrives in June, just before the
summer solstice.
It carries the vibrancy ofgrowth and the wisdom of
reflection.
Think of it as nature's gentlereminder what have you been
cultivating since the start ofthe year, what is blossoming in
your life and what no longerfeels in season?
(03:16):
This moon falls under the signof Sagittarius or Capricorn,
depending on the year, bothsigns tied to truth, vision and
structure.
So you may feel a powerful urgeto step into your authenticity,
re-evaluate your long-termgoals or confront emotional
truths you've been avoiding.
(03:36):
Spiritually, the strawberry moonis a time of fruitful endings
and sacred beginnings.
It represents a culmination.
Projects come to a head,emotions rise to the surface,
relationships are tested ordeepened.
It's a moon of emotionalripeness, the kind of energy
that whispers.
It's time.
Under this full moon, theenergy invites you to reflect on
(03:59):
what you've outgrown, celebratehow far you've come, release
what's been weighing you down,reclaim the parts of yourself
that feel buried beneath otherpeople's expectations.
Unlike the boldness of thespring equinox or the newness of
a January 1st resolution, thismoon isn't about rushing.
(04:20):
It's about honest inventory.
It's about harvesting truth andit's about aligning your next
moves with your higher self, notyour ego.
So ask yourself right now whatis ready to be harvested in my
life and what am I finally readyto let go of, even if it's hard
?
Emotional themes andrelationship shifts under the
(04:42):
strawberry moon.
The strawberry moon bringsemotional truths to the surface
like waves rising to meet theshore and just like strawberries
that bruise when overripe.
This moon shows us where we'vebeen holding on too long, giving
too much or not receiving whatwe deserve in return.
Relationships romantic,platonic, family and even
(05:05):
professional, professional oftencome under review.
During this lunar cycle.
You might find yourself feelingunusually tender, reflective or
even triggered.
That's not weakness, it'swisdom knocking at your soul's
door.
This moon asks deep questionslike is this relationship still
nourishing my growth?
(05:26):
Am I shrinking myself to keeppeace?
Have I been giving out of guiltinstead of alignment?
Am I being truly seen or justtolerated?
Some people might feel acraving for emotional honesty,
even if it leads to discomfort.
Others may finally have thecourage to walk away from people
(05:47):
or patterns that have beensilently draining them for
months or even years.
This moon doesn't just shinelight on others.
It shines on you, on your needs, on your boundaries, on your
willingness to receive.
It invites you to check in withyour heart chakra and ask is it
open, is it guarded?
Is it in survival mode?
(06:08):
Thank you, because when theheart is full of truth, there's
(06:30):
no room left for illusion.
And under this moon, illusionsburn off like fog.
Under the summer sun, you mayalso feel an emotional urge to
reconnect With old friends, withpast versions of yourself or
with your ancestral roots.
That's not coincidence, it'salignment.
The strawberry moon reminds usthat relationships, just like
(06:52):
fruit, are seasonal.
Some are meant to nourish youfor a lifetime, others were only
ever meant for a season, andthat's okay.
Honor the growth, honor thelesson, honor the letting go.

(10:55):
What to avoid during thestrawberry moon?
As radiant and renewing as thestrawberry moon can be, its
energy is intense and, like anyenergetic portal, what you don't
do is just as important as whatyou do.
Here are key things to avoid soyou don't sabotage your
alignment, emotional clarity ormanifestation work during this
sacred lunar window.
1.
(11:18):
Avoid rushing decisions out ofemotion.
The strawberry moon brings deepfeelings to the surface emotion
.
The strawberry moon brings deepfeelings to the surface.
You may feel compelled to textthat ex, quit that job or make a
big move.
But ask yourself first is thisemotion or clarity?
This is a time for observation,not impulsivity.
If it's truly aligned, it'llstill be aligned after a good
(11:41):
night's sleep and some moonjournaling still be aligned
after a good night's sleep andsome moon journaling.
Two don't ignore what you'refeeling.
Many people try to powerthrough during emotional peaks,
numbing out or brushing thingsoff, but this moon has a way of
making avoidance feel likeinternal pressure.
If you suppress your emotionsunder this moon, they'll only
(12:03):
get louder later.
Let them breathe, let them movethrough.
You Cry if you need to Write,walk, sit still, but don't
pretend you're okay if you'renot.
Three Avoid comparing yourjourney.
Under a moon of ripeness andharvest, it's easy to fall into
(12:26):
comparison.
Look what she's accomplished.
Why am I still here?
But you are not behind.
You are in your season.
Comparison undercuts yourmanifestation energy.
Use the moon's light to focusinward, not outward.
Your timeline is sacred.
(12:48):
Four don't overload yourrituals.
More herbs, more crystals, morecandles doesn't always equal
more results.
Simplicity and intention gofurther than theatrics.
Pick one or two rituals thatresonate and pour your heart
into them.
This moon amplifies energy, soif your energy is scattered,
(13:13):
your outcomes will be too.
Five Avoid clinging to what'sclearly ending.
The strawberry moon is notoriousfor revealing the truths we've
been avoiding, especially inrelationships, habits and old
identities.
If something is clearly showingsigns of decay or disconnect,
let it go with grace.
Fighting the release onlydelays the blessing.
Six don't over-socialize orover-commit.
(13:38):
If you're highly sensitive orempathic, this full moon can
feel overwhelming.
You might feel pressure to showup for everyone, answer every
message or attend every event.
Resist that Create boundaries.
You don't owe anyone yourenergy.
During your own emotionalharvest, you are allowed to
pause, to process.
This moon is sweet, but it'snot soft.
(14:01):
It's honest, and honesty, whilebeautiful, demands space.
So avoid distractions, avoidself-doubt, avoid anyone or
anything that pulls you out ofyour knowing, because clarity is
coming, but only if you'requiet enough to catch it.

In this stillness, I rise.
Choose three to five thatresonate most with your current
(16:15):
journey and make them part ofyour nightly practice this week.
Speak them with feeling, speakthem with breath, speak them
like a prayer you've alreadyseen answered.
And remember the moon doesn'task you to be perfect.
She just asks you to be present.
Final Reflections Plus energeticpreparation for the summer
(16:38):
solstice.
As the strawberry moonilluminates the sky, it's more
than a breathtaking cosmic event.
It's a spiritual checkpoint, amirror, a messenger, a reminder
that you don't need to wait forsome perfect moment to realign.
The energy is already here, theportal is already open.
The only thing left is your yes, you've done the hard work.
(17:02):
You've planted, pruned,struggled, stretched.
And now the universe is askingare you ready to receive what
you've done, the hard workyou've planted, pruned,
struggled, stretched.
And now the universe is askingare you ready to receive what
you've prayed for, not just whatlooks good, not just what feels
safe, but what actually matchesyour evolution?
This full moon is the finalfull moon of spring.
That means you're standing onthe threshold of something new,
(17:23):
something bigger, somethingbrighter.
The summer solstice is justdays away and with it comes a
surge of solar energy designedto help you expand.
But expansion doesn't happen bychance.
It happens by choice.
So, as this moon rises, don'tjust cleanse, clarify, don't
(17:47):
just wish declare.
Don't just wish declare, don'tjust reflect, recalibrate.
Ask yourself what version of medo I want to walk into summer?
With what emotional cluttermust be cleared to make room for
that light.
No-transcript, when my soul isready to be seen.
This is your moment to reclaimyourself, not the version molded
(18:09):
by survival, not the versionedited for others' comfort, but
the version that knows.
Your energy is sacred.
Your story is sacred.
Your timing is sacred.
The strawberry moon whispers.
You are not behind, you are inbloom.
So walk gently, speaktruthfully and honor yourself
(18:30):
like the divine garden you are.
