The Meaning of June’s Full Moon
The full moon in June is often seen as a symbol of seasonal change. It usually marks the beginning of summer, especially in the Northern Hemisphere. Many civilisations consider this moon to be the first sign of a shift in the weather and natural cycle from the chilly spring to the warm summer.
For sky lovers, the clear evening sky of June offers a great chance to see this moon. Whether you’re in a village or city, it brings a peaceful and magical feeling to the night.
Why Is It Called the “Strawberry Moon”?
The name “Strawberry Moon” comes from the Algonquin tribes of North America. They used this name because the wild strawberries in their region would ripen during this time of the year. This full moon helped them track the short but important strawberry-picking season.
According to the Old Farmer’s Almanac, this name reminds us of the natural beauty and briefness of seasonal moments. When the moon rises close to the horizon, it may appear golden or orange, especially in places with a clear sky, even though it doesn’t truly turn pink or red.
Why the 2025 Strawberry Moon Is So Special
2025’s Strawberry Moon isn’t your typical full moon. It’s taking place at a lunar standstill, which is an uncommon occurrence that only occurs once every 18.6 years.
During this time, the moon rises and sets at extreme low points in the sky. This makes it look larger and more colourful than usual, especially when it’s near the horizon. For people in Bangladesh and around the world, this is a rare chance to see the moon in a unique and beautiful way.
The 2025 Strawberry Moon will be a really unique full moon since this type hasn’t been seen since 2006 and won’t happen again until 2043.
