A Time for Softness, Reflection and Emotional Reset
As we move into the fullness of summer, the Strawberry Moon invites us to slow down, soften, and reflect. Named after the wild strawberries that ripen at this time of year, this full moon is often linked to abundance, emotional clarity and heart healing. It’s a beautiful moment to pause and check in with yourself — what’s grown, what’s shifted, and what you’re ready to gently release.
This isn’t a full moon for big dramatic changes. It’s a time for grounding back into yourself, reconnecting with your emotional needs, and clearing any energy that feels heavy or no longer yours to carry.
Crystals can offer subtle support during this process. Below are a few I recommend during the Strawberry Moon, each one chosen for its connection to emotional balance, soft strength and reflection.
Moonstone is a beautiful ally during any full moon, but especially during the Strawberry Moon. It’s said to support emotional balance and enhance intuition. Many people feel its energy as calming and deeply feminine, making it helpful when emotions are close to the surface. Place it near your heart during meditation or hold it while journalling to help connect with what you’re truly feeling.
Rose Quartz is the crystal of self-love and gentle heart healing. If you’ve been hard on yourself lately — emotionally, physically or mentally — this is a beautiful one to turn to. It reminds you to treat yourself with the same care and compassion you give to others. During the Strawberry Moon, I often recommend placing Rose Quartz by the bed or carrying it close to the skin as a soft reminder to be kind to yourself.
Rhodonite is all about healing emotional wounds — especially the ones we tend to carry quietly. It’s said to support forgiveness and help release resentment, both towards others and ourselves. The Strawberry Moon can bring certain emotions to the surface. If you’re feeling a little raw, Rhodonite offers a steady, supportive energy to help process those feelings with care.
Lepidolite is my go-to crystal for emotional regulation and gentle release. It contains natural lithium, and many people find it helpful for calming anxiety or mood swings. Around the full moon, especially one with such a tender tone, emotions can run high. Lepidolite helps bring things back into balance.
Garnet brings a deeper, more grounded energy to this otherwise light and reflective moon. It’s linked with the root chakra and said to help reconnect you with your physical body, especially if you’ve been feeling scattered or emotionally distant. I like to recommend Garnet when someone’s been living in their head a little too much. It helps anchor you back into the body and back into what truly matters.
Selenite is often called a clearing crystal — for your energy, your home, even your thoughts. It’s a lovely one to use at the full moon when you’re looking to reset and recharge.
Cleansing and Charging Your Crystals
Instead of diving into how to use crystals for your own energy this time, I want to focus on a simple but powerful practice that aligns beautifully with the Strawberry Moon and the energy of the upcoming solstice: cleansing and recharging your crystals.
The full moon is an ideal time to place your crystals on the windowsill overnight. Let them soak up the moonlight — a natural energetic reset that many people find helps them feel clearer and more aligned.
You can also:
Place your stones in a bowl near an open window.
Create a small altar using candlelight, flowers or natural elements.
Gently wipe each crystal clean before laying it out, to clear any lingering energy.
Set a quiet intention for the coming season as you lay them out.
If you have Selenite, you can also use it to cleanse other crystals by placing them together overnight. It's a lovely way to refresh your collection before the solstice arrives.
Crystals for the Strawberry Full Moon - some final thoughts...
The Strawberry Moon is a time to reflect with softness, to let go of what’s no longer needed, and to meet yourself exactly where you are — without pressure or judgement.
Crystals won’t shift everything for you, but they can help you feel more supported and more in tune with yourself as you move through this gentle, powerful season.
