    Jyestha Purnima Significance

    Jyestha Purnima is the full moon day in the Hindu month of Jyestha, considered auspicious for religious rituals, fasting, and offering prayers to ancestors. Many devotees observe Satyanarayan puja and bathe in holy rivers to mark the occasion.

    Strawberry Moon 2025 Timings

    The enchanting Strawberry Moon will grace the skies over India today, on June 11. According to Indian Standard Time, the full moon will become visible shortly after sunset, particularly in the southeastern direction. Major cities like Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, and Bengaluru will witness this celestial spectacle around 7 PM.

    Why It's Called The Strawberry Moon 

    The term 'Strawberry Moon' was coined in 1930 by the Maine Farmers' Almanac, referring to the full moon of June. In Hindu tradition, this full moon aligns with Jyeshtha Purnima. The name comes from the strawberry harvest season in North America, which occurs during this time.

    What makes the Strawberry Moon especially significant is its timing, usually falling close to the summer solstice, the longest day of the year. This alignment adds to its visual splendour and astronomical importance.

    Astrological Significance Of The Strawberry Moon

    From an astrological perspective, the moon will shine brightly today and will be positioned slightly farther from Earth than usual. Astrologers believe that this moon will have a largely positive impact. Those with a strong Moon in their horoscope may benefit the most. However, individuals whose Moon is placed in the sixth or eighth house might experience some negativity during the full moon. To counter this, astrologers recommend offering prayers to Lord Shiva and performing Jalabhishek.
