The Moon - Strawberry Moon - can be seen in the night sky in several phases, but the most important are when the Full or New Moon occurs. This year, the next Full Moon will be visible on the night of June 21-22, 2024
When the Full Moon Occurs The Full Moon in Capricorn on June 22, 2024 is just one cday after the Summer Solstice. It will be the lowest Full Moon seen in years. This year, the Full Moon coincides with the Summer Solstice! On the evening of June 21 — just after sunset — look southeast to see the full Moon rise slightly above the horizon. There, it will appear large and with golden hues.
After June 14, the Moon enters waxing phase, with its features becoming more prominent as sunlight will continue to strike the surface of the Moon at an acute angle.
How the Full Moon Forms
The Full Moon occurs when the Moon is on the opposite side of the Earth from the Sun. The sunlight has fully illuminated the moon and that is what we call "full". The moon will be visible throughout the night sky as it rises at sunset in the east, transits the meridian at midnight, before setting at sunrise in the west.
What happens on June 22, 2024
The Full Moon is 10 times brighter than it is right now. Since the June 2024 Full Moon occurs on the solstice, the very day the Sun is at its absolute highest for the year, the June 22 Full Moon is the lowest Full Moon seen in years and will it seemed bigger than ever. This is called the "Moon Illusion".
June's full moon – usually the last full moon of spring or the first of summer – has traditionally been called the Strawberry Moon. This moon appears, usually reddish, when it is close to the horizon because light rays must pass through the densest layers of the atmosphere. This name was used by Native American tribes living in the northeastern United States, as well as by the Ojibwe, Dakota, and Lakota peoples to mark the ripening of strawberries that are ready for picking in June. If most of the times during the Strawberry Moon the night is much brighter, this time everything will be surrounded by dark moments. Only a few hours its position will bring a bright light.
How the Moon affects the zodiac signs
This Summer Solstice, the new moon joins Venus as it arrives, so emotions, relationships and feelings will be at the fore for most signs. This union, however, will be in line with Saturn, which can cause delays, challenges or frustrations in your personal life, according to astrologer Kyle Thomas. The planetary ruler of this lunation is Mercury, which will be conjoined with Jupiter (the planet of luck and expansion) and linked in a "beautiful angle" to Pluto (the planet of transformation). Thomas says "we could experience tremendous positive or professional growth" with "an optimistic mindset."
