The July Full Moon, known as the Buck Moon, is the moon that rises during the hottest days of summer. Spiritually, this moon is tied to growth, culmination, and taking practical steps toward the life you’re building. Also, just as male deer’s antlers are nearly grown by this time of year, it’s a powerful moment to reflect on your progress and commit to your long-term vision. What Does the Buck Moon Symbolize?
Traditionally, the Buck Moon reflects a time of physical and spiritual growth. Just as the stag’s antlers begin to return, we too are being asked to embody our inner strength and prepare for what we’re building.

Spiritually, the Buck Moon is about determination, progress, and purposeful growth. It’s a time to reflect on how far you’ve come and to add focused energy to reach your next step. Like the young deer whose antlers are nearly full grown by midsummer, this full moon invites you to rise into your power and move forward with intention.

It’s a potent time to:
