Full Strawberry Moon

Beauty knows no bounds, the cusp of Summer;

Hay meadows and hedgerows, bursting, abundant;

Wild Strawberries flourish, first fruits of the season;

Gardens come to life, all rhyme and no reason.

Full Strawberry Moon

Rose Moon, Honey Moon, Mead Moon, Berries Ripen;

Blackberry, Raspberry, Hot Moon - indigenously chosen;

For the short harvest window, gatherings of tiny fruit;

Before birds or bad weather take them all out.

Full Strawberry Moon

As the Sun rides its longest arc, we too rise;

Saturn in Aries, marks a new energetic phase;

Deep truths surface, no place left to hide;

Cancer brings emotion, to resist would be unwise.

Full Strawberry Moon

Capricorn compels us, to do the best we can;

To have no fear in starting something new again;

To take our time, to tune into our inner Zen;

To make the most of Summer, truly heaven sent.
