What is a Strawberry Moon?
The term “Strawberry Moon” is not just a nickname for the June full moon, but also refers to this time of year being the most propitious for the harvesting of strawberries.
The last full moon of autumn and the first full moon of winter signaled “that this was a great time to harvest strawberries because this is when they reach their peak maturation,” said Beverly Francis, an astrologer at Elevation 44, previously to Elite Daily, noting that it’s not just strawberries that are ripe. “It’s pretty much all small fruits [depending on location and tribe],” hence one of its other names, Berries Ripen Moon.
