The June full moontraditionally known as Strawberry Moon, officially arrives this second Wednesday in June at 9:45, Spanish peninsular time. It is the moment when the maximum alignment between the Moon, the Earth and the Sun occurs in the lunar cycle that presides over this month of June. Although in astrology it is located in the sign of Sagittarius, from the astronomical point of view it will be projected, when it appears over the horizon, in the constellation of Scorpio. It will do it right on the region where Antares shinesthe brightest reddish star in that constellation, which will be the traveling companion of Silver Moon.

This full moon in Sagittarius will be particularly notable and special, since during four consecutive nights The Moon will appear with an illumination equal to or greater than 98%, generating the sensation of having it completely full in the sky night after night. It started on Monday and will still look like this tomorrow, Thursday. Everything seems to stay the same, but in reality everything continues to transform, in a constant dance which contains a paradox.

Furthermore, at 1:44 in the morning, the Moon will begin its upward trajectory in its orbit. This movement will continue until next June 25, at which time, at 3:33, it will begin its descending phase again.

JUNE FULL MOON: STRAWBERRY MOON, IN SAGITTARIUS

The name «Strawberry Moon«It was given by the native tribes of North America, especially the Algonquians, who referred to the June Moon as this to mark the short wild strawberry harvest season. In Europe, however, It has also been called the honeymoon.associated with fertility rituals, love celebrations and the production of mead. Mead is a fermented drink made with honey that was given at weddings during the summer solstice and to celebrate Roman weddings in which Juno, goddess of marriage, was worshiped. The word «June» is precisely derived from the name of Juno, the month we are in.

You will see this Moon pink

A fascinating peculiarity of this full Moon is its low position in the sky, the lowest of the year. This occurs because, being in the full moon phase, the Moon is right in opposition to the Sun, which at this time rises to its highest point due to the proximity of the summer solstice.

This astronomical phenomenon not only modifies the height at which we see it, but also its tonality, and causes the Moon to take on a pink or orange tint. This has a simple explanation: the light from the Sun, reflected by the lunar surface, passes through a greater portion of the Earth’s atmosphere before reaching our eyes.

On that journey, light interacts with particles suspended in the airwhich causes a greater dispersion of short wavelengths (such as blue) and allows warm tones to pass through more strongly, resulting in that pink or orange glow, in warm tones, so characteristic of this time also when the Sun rises and sets, and which so many phrases about sunrise and sunset have inspired poets, writers, singers and thinkers of all time.
