When's the next full moon? Here's what to know after June's strawberry moon
The strawberry moon appeared Tuesday, June 10. The moon in June is also one of the lowest-hanging of the year, as seen from the Northern Hemisphere.
While the strawberry moon does appear with a reddish tone, the name derives from the Native American Algonquian tribes, who lived in the northwestern United States. The Ojibwe, Dakota and Lakota tribes also used the name, which marked the wild strawberries in June, according to the Old Farmer's Almanac.
Here's everything to know about catching a glimpse of the strawberry moon.
According to space.com, while the strawberry moon typically happens in June, this year we are in a major lunar standstill — the two-year period of the lunar cycle when the moon's tilted orbit is at its greatest inclination relative to the celestial equator.
The strawberry moon's low altitude will be made more extreme by the lunar standstill, which means we'll experience the lowest full moon in over a decade.
The following dates list out the rest of the expected full moons in 2025:
July 10- Buck Moon
Aug. 9- Sturgeon Moon
Sept. 7- Harvest Moon
Oct. 6- Hunter's Moon
Nov. 5- Beaver Moon
Dec. 4- Cold Moon

Deepak Chopra doesn't get stressed when he travels, here's his advice for others
Come this November, Deepak Chopra will have traveled to every continent. He'll complete his global journey when he embarks on his Conscious Mindfulness Expedition to Antarctica, a 10-day wellness retreat sailing with travel company Insider Expeditions to the world's southernmost pole along with around 150 other travelers. "I hope that everyone will experience a sense of wonder and awe that is absolutely central to our physical, emotional, and spiritual wellbeing," he said. For integrative medicine doctor and prolific author, immersing himself in nature is a core part of his spirituality – and travel is one of the most powerful ways he makes that connection. Chopra has visited over 100 countries, from the sweeping canyons of Utah to islands off the coast of Africa and India, grounding himself in some of the world's most beautiful destinations. "We're not separate from nature, and it leads to deeply spiritual experiences," he said. Chopra spoke with USA TODAY about his upcoming wellness retreat, how people can improve their wellbeing through travel and why there's no reason to get stressed over flight delays and cancellations. This interview was edited for length clarity. Question: Besides exploring Antarctica's wilderness, what else is planned for your wellness retreat with Insider Expeditions? Deepak Chopra: While we are on the ship, when we are not on land, I will be doing workshops on the 11 pillars of wellbeing and healthspan, universal of aging, meditation, spiritual intelligence and emotional intelligence. I'll be doing workshops also on good sleep, stress management, mind-body coordination, emotional resilience and nutrition. Q: Antarctica is your final continent, how does it feel to have seen so much of the world? DC: Having seen the entire world, I think that's the best education you can get. That's the best way to understand other cultures. That's the best way to cultivate empathy and compassion, and understand that every culture has its own beauty. There would be less conflict in the world if more people traveled. Q: What is one of your most memorable trips? DC: I have many. So, the Arctic was one, and then going to some of the islands around Japan was another. Going to the outback in Australia was another; I went when Halley's Comet was flying over Australia. We were there in the middle of the night doing rituals, and dancing, and all kinds of things. Q: How should people approach their travels so that they can improve their wellness and also tap into their own spirituality? DC: I think people plan too much; they spend months planning, and then during their vacations – especially when they're with their families and other friends – they get stressed out. Then once they come back from a wonderful vacation, they have to recover from the stress. So I would say don't plan, be spontaneous. Of course, plan the trip, but don't get into too many details. Make room for the unknown and the unknowable so that every day is a surprise and an experience of wonder and adventure. If you plan too much, like many American tourists do, they get stressed planning, they get stressed during the vacation, and they are stressed when they come back, which is a very ridiculous thing to do. Enjoy the unpredictable and the unknown, which is where wonder and curiosity and adventure unfold. Q: What is your preferred way to travel? DC: If I have a choice, this train is the best. I grew up in India, and I traveled all over India by train. I have also used the train in Europe to Eurostar from London to Paris. Actually, I'm planning a trip with the Orient Express. Q: When you're on a plane, window or aisle seat? DC: If it's a very long flight, then aisle, so I don't have to disturb people to go to the toilet. But to watch the scenery, I'm always in the window seat. So it depends. Q: What are your travel must-haves? DC: Always a good book. I don't spend too much time on the internet on my travels. And the must-haves are all my little gizmos, gadgets, my wearables, which measure everything: my heart rate, my heart rate variability, my sleep patterns, all of that. I see how different they are when I'm traveling than when I'm, say, in a big city. My heart rate is already very slow, it's like in the 60s, but it slows down to even the low 50s when I'm in nature. Q: Do you have any travel pet peeves, is there something that gets you frustrated? DC: I don't get frustrated. I don't get stressed. Q: Do you have any advice for people also not to get stressed when traveling? DC: Start every morning with a commitment to uncertainty. When you commit to the wisdom of uncertainty, nothing goes wrong because you have already accepted uncertainty.

I landed my dream job without even applying for it. Here's how I did it and my advice for other job seekers.
Alicia Strata, 38, is a marketing creator and integrator at Alabama World Travel, a luxury travel agency based in Montgomery, Alabama. In July, Business Insider wrote about how Strata and seven other Americans who graduated in the Great Recession navigated early career challenges — and what Gen Z college grads can learn from them. The following has been edited for length and clarity. I've tried to launch my career during a hiring slowdown twice — first out of college, and again last year after 10 years at home raising my children. The second time was worse — it took me over a year to get hired. But my journey ended with me landing my dream job. Joining Teach for America taught me resilience I graduated from Columbia College Chicago in May 2010, when the Great Recession had pushed the unemployment rate to nearly 10%. I had a marketing communications degree and hoped to land a role at an advertising agency. But the job market was tough, so I decided to pivot. Teaching was completely out of my area of study, but I was looking for something that felt both purposeful and possible in a shrinking job market. Teach for America offered that: a paycheck, a mission, and structure during chaos. The summer after graduation, I moved to South Dakota to begin my placement as a 4th-grade teacher. My placement was on a Native American reservation inSouth Dakota, where the closest Walmart was two hours away. Some of the kids were dealing with serious challenges at home, and it was hard to make them care about learning their multiplication tables. I had to get creative and develop real resilience. I also learned to get over my ego. If you want to find out what your insecurities are, go into a classroom of middle schoolers. Although TFA didn't directly further my marketing career, it helped me develop personally and as a leader. It gave me life experience and helped me build the resilience and adaptability I needed in future job searches. We want to hear from job seekers and people who recently landed a job. If you're open to sharing your story, please fill out one or more of the linked Google Forms. I became a stay-at-home mom when my kids were born After finishing the program in 2012, I spent a year working at an international school in South Korea, where my then-boyfriend lived. We got engaged and moved to Chicago, and I found a full-time graphic design job. But after getting married in 2013, I unexpectedly got pregnant right away. I worked through the pregnancy but left my job and became a stay-at-home mom after my child was born. I now have three kids, between the ages of six and 10. From 2015 to 2020, I did some remote, part-time marketing work for a digital advertising company, but it was very minimal — and definitely not something that looked exciting on a résumé. The gig ended in early 2020, shortly before the pandemic-induced recession, after the company was sold abruptly. I had just had my third kid and was struggling to juggle everything, so I felt it was, in some ways, good timing. Taking a part-time seasonal job and then being let go was a hit to my ego In 2021, we moved to Montgomery, Alabama, and about a year later, I found myself in a kind of sink-or-swim moment when my marriage ended. Overnight, I was navigating single parenthood, a sparse résumé, and the urgent need to rebuild my career from the ground up. At the beginning of my renewed job search, I was hopeful. I got the kids to school, started on all the online job boards, and didn't wrap up until eight hours later when it was time to pick up the kids. However, the results were extremely discouraging. I was applying constantly, managing full-time parenting, and facing rejection after rejection. In 2023, I landed a part-time seasonal job at Hobby Lobby. That hurt my ego, but I needed to get some momentum, particularly because the job market was starting to take a turn for the worse. There were plans for me to stay on after the season ended, but in early 2024, they ended up letting me go. The idea that I couldn't even keep a part-time retail job was hard to stomach, but I tried to stay resilient, pick myself back up, and start applying again. I found my dream job when I wasn't looking for it In February 2024, I applied for a job as an administrative assistant at an accounting firm, even though I couldn't be less interested in accounting. I didn't get the job, but the third-party recruiter the company worked with said there was a part-time office support job at a luxury travel agency that he thought might be a good fit for me. I was skeptical, but agreed to the interview. The morning of the interview, I sent a group text to some of my close friends, saying, "I'll let you know how the interview goes. Don't want it, so the odds are in my favor of getting it" — just being tongue-in-cheek. But when I walked into the office, it had a really good vibe. Everybody was quietly plugging away at their desks, and everyone I met was just so warm. The interviewer started by asking me basic questions, but they kept asking about marketing, which I found a little confusing since I was interviewing for the office support role. Halfway through the interview, they slid a piece of paper across the table. It was a job description for a marketing creator and integrator role — exactly the kind of job I'd hoped to find since graduating from college, but hadn't been able to secure. I literally looked around and thought, Is somebody filming this right now? Am I being pranked? It turned out, they'd been looking for a marketing person and felt I sounded like a great fit. I burst out laughing because I couldn't believe it. It was amazing to walk into the interview not even wanting the role, and walk out thinking it could be my dream career. My advice for others struggling with the job search process I started working at the company in March 2024. My initial instincts about the company have proven correct — my co-workers have become like a second family, and the working environment is great. Later on, I happened to meet the woman who had gotten the admin assistant job I didn't get at the accounting firm. She was another single mom with four boys who had been on the verge of losing her home when she landed the job. You don't often get to see what's on the other side of a job rejection; that full-circle moment has really stuck with me. My biggest advice for people struggling to find work — whether you're a recent college graduate or have been in the workforce for decades — is to be open to different opportunities and stay engaged in the process. If you're going to do something, do it wholeheartedly. While I wasn't interested in the job I thought I was interviewing for, I gave myself fully to the interview. Even if it wasn't the right role, something better at the company could've opened up later. If you don't have your foot in the door anywhere, you can't move up from anywhere.
