Attention all astronomy lovers, top astrologers, and the biggest dreamers: on the night of June 29th to 30th, the strawberry moon will light up the sky. But what does it look like, what does it mean, and where does its mysterious name come from? We'll explain it all right now.

Just a few days after the summer solstice, the Strawberry Moon will amaze you this Monday. But be careful, because according to astronomers, it will bring up everything you’ve buried deep inside for ages. So choose your Monday night plans wisely; it would be a shame to make any premature revelations…


A Name from the Tribes

Unfortunately, the Strawberry Moon won't be pink… much to our disappointment. Its name, "Strawberry Moon," comes from a Native American tribe: the Algonquins. Back in their day, the seasons were aligned with the lunar cycles, and the full moon in June signaled the beginning of the wild strawberry harvest in North America. No more, no less. So, there’s no link between how the moon looks that night and the red of the strawberry that we might imagine.


A color yet to be defined

This year, the strawberry moon is only a few days away from the summer solstice. What does that have to do with anything, you might ask? The moon will be very low on the night of June 29 to 30, which means its rays will pass through a thicker layer of atmosphere than usual. As a result, we might see coppery hues, almost orange on the moon that night. It's amazing... You should always believe in your dreams, because with perseverance, anything can happen!


And scientifically proven consequences

Whether you believe in astrology or not, it turns out that the effects of a full moon on sleep have been scientifically proven. The University of Basel in Switzerland conducted a study on this topic, and the results are clear: we take longer to fall asleep and the duration of our deep sleep is reduced. This is thought to be caused by the increased brightness during the night, as well as our biological rhythm.

But when it comes to astrology, this moon is very promising. We are entering a significant moment of spiritual harvest, which suggests success, but that's not all. It brings warm, social, and extroverted energy. In short, you are about to have great times with your loved ones.
