July’s Full Buck Moon in Capricorn Will Expose the Karma You’ve Earned

A sense of fulfillment will embolden your growth thus far. The full moon in Capricorn—a.k.a. the Buck Moon—represents a midyear point and affects each zodiac sign’s overall sense of accomplishment. Give yourself credit where credit is due. Your resilience and perseverance have taken you far, so imagine how much further you can go post-lunation.

Each lunation aligns with a seasonal right of passage. July’s full moon is known as the buck moon, since this lunation aligns with the time bucks may shed their old antlers to grow new ones. Bucks growing new antlers coincide with this season’s teeming life. Everything is bursting, from the crops ripening to harvest to the salmon runs. Give thanks for the literal and metaphorical growth that has brought you this far. Honor the buck moon by incorporating deer symbolism in your lunar ritual and spellwork. You could even consider purchasing responsibly sourced antlers from your favorite witchy apothecary if you wish to make a lunar offering.

Arriving on July 10 at 4:36 p.m. ET, the full moon in Capricorn will bring an end to a six-month cycle. Landing at 18 degrees, this full moon may feel a bit different. Luna is exiled in Capricorn, suggesting a weakened emotional complexity and a dense intuitive pull. A weakened lunation isn’t always a bad thing. It might be easier to process, reflect, and release without an emotional undertow overcoming your senses. You may not feel as involved with things from your six-month cycle, making it easier to move forward.

As the full moon in Capricorn culminates, your status and legacy will come to mind. What have you done that has helped you advance in the last six months? Your achievements may involve professional triumphs, such as landing your dream job or standing out among your colleagues. Personal victories also count toward your lunar success. Meeting milestones in any area of your life throughout this lunar cycle will play a role in your life’s work and purpose. Be proud of your perseverance, dedication, and steadiness that has led to this culmination under the full moon in Capricorn.

Sentimentalism will wash over you as the sun in Cancer opposes the full moon in Capricorn. Needless to say, this lunar cycle has been emotionally enduring. You could have held down the fort these past six months. Putting on a brave face wasn’t easy. Waves of emotion will finally hit during the full moon. Your steadiness will be rocked as you deal with everything from the past six months at once. Give yourself grace when you process your repressed feelings.

Whatever happened throughout this lunar cycle was meant to be, as the full moon in Capricorn meets with the South Node of Karma and the North Node of Fate. For better or for worse, your experiences were part of your soul’s journey. The last six months have encouraged you to consider what you will do to align with your destiny. Uncomfortable experiences in your personal life, romance, career, and more have shaped who you are today. Remember that you wouldn’t be here if it weren’t for these fated occurrences throughout the lunar cycle.
