The Strawberry Moon will be full on 23 June 2026 at 10:32 BST. It will sit soft in the southern sky as twilight fades. Forecast calls for clear weather in southern England from 21 June, so the moon should be readily visible when it rises. Its peak brightness hits at the listed time. Forecasted skies are anticipated.
The disc can look impressive near the horizon because of an visual illusion. Look south‑east to south‑west from early evening. The low angle will stretch the moon’s shape, giving a sharp silhouette against the dusk. Astrologers mention a Capricorn theme for June.
