This month’s full strawberry moon is also an eclipse—here’s what that means for your sign

The full strawberry moon happens on June 5 at 3:12 p.m., EST, and it’s more powerful than your average full moon because it’s happening in conjunction with the first of three successive eclipses. (The following two eclipses in the series will occur on June 20/21 and July 4/5, depending on your time zone.)

“This full moon is in the sign of Sagittarius, the sign of adventure, philosophy, travel, beliefs, and higher education,” says Rachel Lang, intuitive astrologer and healer. “This influence invites us to question what we believe, especially those hardwired beliefs from childhood.” This is also a curious full moon, so look for ways to broaden your perspective by seeking out “creative projects, brainstorming ideas, or coming up with solutions to challenges in your life,” she adds.

The added effect of the lunar eclipse only strengthens the transformational energy of this full strawberry moon (which gets its nickname from happening during the time of year when, you guessed it, strawberries are ripe). “Eclipses shake things up in our lives. They wake us up to what’s not working and stir up our emotions, so we feel led to take action to make life changes,” Lang says. “Sometimes, we discover truth that’s been hidden, or we have personal revelations that shift unhealthy relationship or work dynamics.”

Also noteworthy about this full strawberry moon is that it’s happening in Gemini season, and since Gemini is all about communication, it asks you to consider how your messages are coming across. “How can you more clearly express yourself with others?” asks Lang. “Speak from a heart-centered place, as Mercury in Cancer helps bridge the gap between the head and heart. Use your voice to make a change.”
