All You Need To Know About June 2025’s Strawberry Moon

On the night of June 11, 2025, the skies will host a rare and stunning event,  the Strawberry Full Moon!

On the night of June 11, 2025, the skies will host a rare and stunning event,  the Strawberry Full Moon. But this year, it’s not just the last full moon of spring. It’s arriving with an extraordinary twist: a major lunar standstill, an astronomical phenomenon that won’t be seen again until 2043.

While the name might suggest shades of red or pink, the moon itself will not change colour. Instead, skywatchers can expect to see it shining in a soft golden hue, particularly vivid when it rises low on the southeastern horizon just after sunset on June 10.

While it’s not unique in color, the combination of its timing, position, and the rare lunar standstill makes this year’s Strawberry Moon an unmissable sight for stargazers and photographers alike.

Lunar standstill is the phrase used to indicate when the moon peaks at its northernmost and southernmost rising and setting points, which happens in an 18.6-year cycle. At this time, the motion of the moon seems more dramatic in the sky. For viewers, it’s a rather wide arc as it rises and sets, something not often seen. This year’s standstill brings a touch of cosmic mystery to an otherwise legendary full moon. And that’s not all, this celestial event is also bringing lucky energy to few of the zodiac signs, Here’s how,
