Overview

• The Instituto Nacional de Astrofísica, Óptica y Electrónica projects the Buck Moon will reach full illumination at 14:36 Central Mexico time on July 10 and will be visible worldwide if skies are clear.
• Named by Native American tribes for the growth of male deer antlers, the July full moon is the first of summer and appears slightly smaller and lower in the sky near Earth’s apogee.
• Astrologer Astrid Uez warns that the Saturn–Neptune square during this full moon can foster self-deception, urging avoidance of major purchases, contract signings and fleeting romances.
• The Capricorn full moon encourages structured reflection on long-term goals with exercises like list-making, deadline setting and calendar planning to strengthen discipline.
• Ritual practitioners recommend abundance-focused practices—such as golden cauldron spells, lunar salt baths and intention-mapping—to harness the Buck Moon’s energy for clarity and prosperity.
