Strawberry Moon rises tonight — and no, it isn't strawberry-coloured

Tonight, the Strawberry Moon graces the skies over Europe, marking a celestial event steeped in centuries-old tradition. Contrary to its name, the moon won't appear strawberry-colored; it’s simply called that because it rises around the time of the summer solstice, historically a time of abundance, hence the "strawberry" reference to summer fruits. This full moon is more than just a pretty sight; it holds cultural significance for various communities, symbolizing harvest and renewal. So, while you don't need to look for a pink hue, the Strawberry Moon's rise is a reminder of our connection to nature and the cycles that shape our lives.
