Cyclical Insights
Traditionally in several native cultures, this Moon is known as the Strawberry Moon. This is the last Moon cycle of Spring, so ending it on a sweet note of ripening wild strawberries makes perfect sense. We are at the end of the first chapter of the year. Reflecting back on this season, how fertile and bountiful was it for you? This June Moon is also known as the Rose Moon (as roses are in full bloom) and the Honey Moon as the mating season is coming to a conclusion and new chapters of life, marriage and family begin. It’s also known as the Mead Mood, named for the month’s worth of Honey Wine that was gifted to couples to bring sweet intoxication to the start of their journey.
