Sky-gazers are expected to get a glimpse of the Strawberry Moon across Britain this evening as three star signs are set to be dramatically impacted: see if yours is one of them.
Nicknamed the Strawberry Moon by native American tribes, as it coincides with the ripening berries, you may also hear the event being referred to as the Green Corn Moon, the Hot Moon, the Rose Moon, the Mead Moon and the Horse Moon.
Despite its sweet name, the June full moon won’t actually appear pink or red.
However, it can sometimes ‘glow warmer and more golden when it’s low on the horizon’, as per the Canadian Space Agency.

Here’s what you need to know about the Solstice Moon, including career opportunities, manifestation efforts and why discipline will be ‘plentiful’ for most signs.
Speaking to Heart Bingo Online, astrologer, Inbaal Honigman said that tonight’s (29 June) full moon in Capricorn will make adulting feel ‘easier’ than usual.
“Discipline is plentiful. The Full Moon is the best time for creating your reality, and speaking things into existence,” she confirmed.
“Since Capricorn is a business-minded sign, it would be the perfect moment to manifest a huge career change, a promotion or a new business.”
Single people and couples alike will be subtly impacted by tonight’s moon, according to the expert.
She explained that those without partners will be trying to impress those with whom they have a spark with, and that ‘fancy and shiny’ gifts could be the answer.
Meanwhile, it's a great time for couples in committed relationships to talk about their plans for the future and their joint life goals.
So, if you’ve been putting off the conversations, now is the perfect time to have them.
You may also find that interesting conversations with the people who can promote you may begin taking place.
“The Capricorn vibe is entrepreneurial at heart, so you are very likely to be approached by friends who want to start a business, or even be that friend yourself,” said Honigman.
While we’re all set to experience some sort of fluctuation during the Strawberry Full Moon, some people are more likely than others to experience major shifts during the lunar event.
These are: Capricorn, Gemini, and Cancer, according to the expert.
“When the moon is in Capricorn, watch it work for you. Daytimes are never a problem for a Capricorn, you wake up full of spirit, excited to set things in motion and achieve your goals,” said Honigman.
“When the moon is in your sign, you become this focused in the nighttime too. Dreams and inspired ideas about all the things you could be doing will visit you under this moon.”
She added that the moon will make you ‘feel stronger in the face of all the Mercury retrograde and the Mars fierceness’.
Be prepared to feel a little out of sorts on 29 June - the first day of the Mecury retrograde - if you’re a Gemini, the astrologer warned.
“Administrative mix-ups and social confusion are on the cards for you, not to mention that Mars, the planet of conflict, has just entered your sign.
“You’re an optimist, so look to the moon to affirm your optimism.”
Because the moon rules Cancer, those born between 21 June and 22 July are likely to be hit hardest by the Strawberry Moon as it ‘all gets a bit too much’.
“Jupiter, the planet of luck has been with you for over a year, but it is leaving you in a couple of days so that could make you feel less blessed,” Honigman confirmed.
“In addition, the Mercury retrograde in Cancer could bring conflict to your door, especially with family members.”
Since the Capricorn moon is ‘powerful and strong’, it’s likely to ‘inject some courage into you’, allowing you to ‘stand up for what’s right’, the expert added.
According to the Royal Observatory Greenwich, the Strawberry Moon is set to reach its peak in the early hours of Tuesday (30 June) at 12.57am.
Sky-gazers who want to catch jaw-dropping glimpses of the celestial body should head to high viewpoints of areas with clear skies.
The BBC suggests choosing low-light pollution places like Bristol, Gloucestershire, Somerset and Wiltshire.
If the weather impacts your ability to see the moon then don’t worry - there are other full moons this summer, including The Buck Moon which will rise on 29 July.
Expect to see the Sturgeon Moon, named after the freshwater fish caught by Native Americans in the Great Lakes, on 28 August.
