June Full Moon 2012


Although there will be a lunar eclipse on the night of the June Full Moon, visible from places on earth, it will not be visible to us here in South India. 





Folklore regarding the moon, says that its It's Lucky to . . . 

• It is lucky to see the first sliver of a new Moon "clear of the brush," or unencumbered by foliage. 
• It is lucky to own a rabbit's foot, especially if the rabbit was killed in a cemetery by a cross-eyed person at the dark of the Moon. 
• It is lucky to hold a moonstone in your mouth at the full Moon; it will reveal the future. 
• It is lucky to have a full Moon on the "Moon day" (Monday). 
• It is lucky to expose your newborn to the waxing Moon. It will give the baby strength. 
• It is lucky to move into a new house during the new Moon; prosperity will increase as the Moon waxes. 

In some parts of the world, depending on harvests, the June full moon is known as the Strawberry Moon, the Flower Moon, Rose Moon Honey Moon, Hot Moon, and Planting Moon.
