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.

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,
