Farmers' Almanac explains that the "Strawberry" name "has been used by Algonquin, Ojibwe, Dakota, and Lakota peoples, among others, to mark the ripening of 'June-bearing' strawberries that are ready to be gathered."

A supermoon refers to a full moon that is particularly close to our planet, and this month it will peak on June 14.

The Moon's perigee is, on average, about 226,000 miles away, and its apogee is about 253,000 miles away. That's because the difference between the moon's perigee and its apogee—that is, its closest point to Earth and its furthest point—is not very large. The name is said to mark the ripening of strawberries at this time of year.

JACKSON, Wyo. — June's full moon also known as the Strawberry Moon, will reach peak illumination tomorrow, June 14 at about 5:52 a.m in Jackson Hole.

June is a time of great abundance during early summer, with flowers blooming, and fruit ripening. Some European names for June’s full moon include the Honey Moon and the Mead Moon. Traditionally June is the month of marriage, named after the Roman goddess of marriage, Juno. The Honey Moon may be tied to the “honeymoon’ that follows marriage. According to the Old Farmer’s Almanac, the Algonquin, Ojibwe, Dakota, and Lakota peoples, among others, called the entire June lunar month The Strawberry Moon, to mark the ripening of “June-bearing” strawberries that are ready to be gathered.

Like every full moon, this one will have some unique aspects you'll want to know about beforehand. Here's the astrology behind this full moon explained.

Or, to tune into the watery Piscean vibes of Neptune during this moon, you could take a moon bath, or make moon water, she suggests. Until the next new moon in a couple of weeks, use your time to step back and reflect with optimism. For the full moon, rather, take it as an opportunity to rest or even stop, she says. As astrologer Molly Pennington, Ph.D. explains to mbg, this full moon—and this moon cycle as a whole—began in Gemini on the new moon two weeks ago. And like every full moon, this one is going to have some unique aspects that you'll want to know about beforehand.

The Full Strawberry Moon gets its name from its occurrence during the brief harvest season for its namesake strawberries. That name and other colorful full moon monikers found in the pages of The Old Farmer's Almanac are derived from multiple sources, including Native American influences, colonial American traditions, and Old World European customs. Supermoons are often known to appear slightly larger than a normal full moon, up to 30% brighter and 17% larger, but in reality it seem to appear much the same, observed as a bright orb casting a slight golden tint. Looking for a telescope to see the supermoon? Moon lovers should point their gaze in the southeast direction after sunset as the Strawberry Moon lifts elegantly up over the horizon.
