June full moon in Scorpio 2025: How often is there a strawberry moon? See it rise tonight
June's full moon, also known as the rare strawberry moon will rise tonight next to the bright red 'heart of the Scorpion' star, Antares in the constellation Scorpius during a Major Lunar Standstill. Here's what it all means. Tuesday's special strawberry full moon will be the lowest full moon in decades because we are near what's called a Major Lunar Standstill — a phenomenon that occurs every 18.6 years when the moon's orbit is tilted at its maximum angle, reaching its highest and lowest points in the sky. Here's what to know about June's full strawberry moon, the moon phases and the summer solstice. The strawberry moon will reach peak illumination at 3:44 a.m. on June 11, 2025, according to the Almanac. The moon will appear bright and full on Tuesday night, June 10. To catch a glimpse, find a location with unobstructed views of the horizon.

Similar to April's Pink Moon, June's Strawberry Moon gets its name from the seasonal berry harvest, according to the Old Farmer's Almanac. Ripening berries are traditionally ready to be harvested around this time in the northeastern United States. Albeit, while strawberries are in fact a reddish-pink color, the color of the moon is not reflective of the 'strawberry' name, but rather it gets its reddish glow when it is closer to the horizon and the light rays pass through the densest layers of the atmosphere. The June solstice will mark the longest day of the year in the Northern Hemisphere as it heralds the start of the new season of summer, which this year will begin at 10:42 p.m. ET on June 20, 2025. The July full moon, known as the buck moon, will be visible on July 10, 2025.
