On July 21, at 11:17 BST the Moon will reach its full peak, the exact timing isn't crucial to the naked eye though as the Moon will appear full the day before and after this moment too, with over 98% of the surface illuminated 🌕 - so if Saturday night is your thing... get out and look up!
July's Full moon is known as the Buck Moon; the name Buck Moon derives from male deer, which shed their antlers every year, begin to regrow them in July, hence the Native American name for July's full moon. Some refer to this moon as the thunder moon, due to the summer storms in this month. Other names include the hay moon, after the July hay harvest.
During a Full Moon, the light of the Sun fully illuminates the Moon and allows us to gain awareness of something that is usually unconscious and hidden from our sight. At this time of the month, we have an opportunity to see something we could not see before: we can see ourselves in a new light and see our reality more clearly. Emotions are heightened and sometimes iverly sensitive when the moon is full, so what is unresolved comes to the surface to be released and cleared throughout the second half of the lunar cycle, while the momentum decreases as the Moon wanes (hence its called the waning cycle).
The full moon lands for the second time in Capricorn so this is a last, second chance to get your work life balance right. (On a personal note I've set my intentions already for next year about working less.in one business!)
Capricorns are workaholics, so if you are one, like me, (Paddy) then it's time to reassess your worklife balance (we kinda did recently that by getting ourselves a campervan! 🙌 and we also now sell a crystal bundle for safe travels)
This Capricorn Full Moon represents the completion of a chapter of our journey and, because of the connection between the Moon and Pluto, it's likely to reveal to us something about ourselves we were unaware of, that is likely to be uncomfortable to see or maybe even feel? This full moon offers us chances to access a deeper understanding of the purpose of what happened in the past weeks and months and encourages us to make changes that were long due.
The moon is a cycle, and it's a reminder that we should break our own cycles especially in the pursuit of personal growth and evolution of self ✨️
So the spiritual meaning of July’s full moon is about pouring your whole heart into your goals and pursuing your plans with determination. The moon is joining forces with transformation Pluto, plunging you into the depths of your psyche to unearth your deepest desires and allowing you to tap into a well of power you may not have known you had!
We've crossed the half way mark of the year and this a good point to re-establish the drive towards your goals.
Remember that in order to move forward freely we should travel light, emotionally and spiritually; so get rid of the excess baggage. Release what no longer serves your highest good and move forth with ease and grace ✨️
