What does the Strawberry Moon 2017 mean? It is a total astrological event

There's all you know about June looking at a calendar, it's that people like to get married in June. So a romantic might ask: who came first, the June pink strawberry moon or the multitude of nuptials? It is easy to think that there is a connection between the two.

But while the strawberry moon might appear a bit pink for us, it's actually not how it took its name. The Algonquin tribes who doubled the full moon of June, the moon of strawberries, simply made a reminder to choose their strawberries. (A nice epic reminder service in the pre-iCal days, do not you think?) You see, strawberries are the ripest in June, so when the strawberry moon rose, the tribes Will come out and pick up their ripening harvest before the animals reach them. And, because where we are geographically located, the moon appears high up in the sky for us, which gives it a pinkish hue - just an illusion, of course.

But in other parts of the world, where strawberries are not native, like Europe, the moon is called the pink moon or the honeymoon. This no longer contributes to the design of the first, to the pink honeymoon in June or to the increased interest of weddings in June.

According to The Farmer's Almanac, the best time to catch the full moon of June is actually in the morning. On June 9th, at 9:11 am ET, here on the northern hemisphere we have the best view of the strawberry moon. And luckily, we will not need fancy viewing devices to see it - all we need to do is look for and hope for a cloudless sky. (Although, if you live in a crowded commercial city, light pollution could hamper your sight, making the sky rather foggy. The further away you are from the lights and the closer you are to a residential area or suburb, the more Will be easy for you to see the moon with unobstructed views.) Although astronomers note that although most solid moons are known for their seemingly larger size, this particular full moon will appear smaller. Some astronomers even call it a minimoon. So cute!

Likewise, according to the Farmer's Almanac, he is lucky to get married under the strawberry moon, so take what you want. It could be folklore, superstition, or who knows it could be used if you believe it enough.
