Buck Full Moon
Wild Deers at the private island of Æbelø, Denmark
The spectacular July super full moon is here to amplify whatever it is casting its light on. Unfinished business, power leaks and hidden desires will all be illuminated at this time, as MotherMoon sends you her support to dream bigger for yourself.
Buck Moon
The full Moon of July is called the Buck Moon because the antlers of male deer (bucks) are in full-growth mode at this time.
Bucks shed and regrow their antlers each year, producing a larger and more impressive set as the years go by.
Under this full moon, try to think of this process in you. All the years and adversaries have built your antlers more impressive with each day. You are strong, you are powerful, and more impressive too, for each of the times, you have risen up. Raise your head, and antlers, up strong, and be proud of everything you are!
Another name for this moon is Wyrt Moon. Wyrt meant ‘herb’ in Old English and this may reflect the fact that green growth is at its highest and lushest. Gather your herbs.
A last name for it is the Mead Moon. This is the time in the year that beekeepers take their summer crop of honey, and turning it into mead was one of the bigger jobs of the agricultural year.
“Raise your head up high. You are a magnificent being, that has grown stronger for each day and each adversary. Be proud and walk on in gratitude and honour of all that you are. ”
Casting a light on your desires
The Buck full moon is here to support you in sifting through the chaos and instability that might show up at this time. As a gentle nighttime guide, she will assist you in connecting to your inner strength and truth -your anchor in life.
Bringing light to some of your deepest desires and ambitions, the Buck moon will help you unearth your gifts, as well as the fears that have been keeping you stuck.
If you have been undervaluing yourself, let the light of this Moon shine on your immeasurable worth, all the beautiful stories about you that are available to you through the language of your soul: your dreams, your emotions and your longings.
Letting go to let in
If you feel a person or circumstance in your life does not support you fully, this is the time to let them go. This is the season to let go of everything that embodies qualities of workaholism, insecurities, negative self-talk, playing small, ambitions that drain you, patriarchal ideals, controlling the outcome, taking yourself too seriously and caring what others think of you! Not a small list, huh?
Think of the Super Full Buck moon as a firm assistant to clear our the weeds of the precious garden that is your life, in order to make room for your deepest desires. And a gentle wake-up call to stay true to the seeds of your heart so you can cultivate your highest dreams.
A full moon always provides a portal or opening for expansion, gratitude and celebration of what you have, what you have accomplished, and what your future dreams are. Take some time to be with gratitude, beauty and whatever inspires you.
Connect to your soul wisdom by taking some time out to journal, making a simple fire ceremony, going out on a medicine walk or just sitting-with-it.
Full Moon Blessings,
