The Full Buck Moon occurs on July 4th, and we will celebrate on July 12th. This moon, also called the Full Thunder Moon, or the Full Hay Moon will occur in Capricorn, the sign of the goat. There is an earthy nature to our feelings, and the very physical Matter of life matters. We’re still in eclipse season, and the partial lunar eclipse will be visible July 16th-17th. Eclipse tunnels are powerful times when we have access to greater emotion and insight. Especially following the Summer Solstice, there is an energetic vortex pulling us forward. The sun and moon are opposite, and the anima, animus are pulling in different directions. What tension within you is creating a sense of fire within?
The Buck Moon is named after the young antelopes and deer, growing new antlers at this time. This is the season they leap into adulthood, and start to shed the coatings of velvety fur on their antlers. In the collective consciousness there is a great awareness of shedding systemic racism to regrow a healthier framework. Embedded within this is an ask for each of us to shed, and regrow from ego scarcity into the majestic truth of our universal belonging. What do you want to stand for? How can you keep the stoke the fires while guarding the flame?
While many animals can lose and regrow body parts like this, deer are the only mammals with this trick. And deer do it really well — antlers have one of the fastest regrowing times (transformation) out of all of these body parts. Remember, regrowth is only possible if we let go, or shed what we don’t need. To do so, we need determination and courage. How do you stay strong, when you feel small? To take a stand, it turns out you need to own all of it.
The fire of summer is upon us. As we approach July 4th, independence day in the US, envision the tremendous energy and courage needed in 1776 to stand in a truth previously thought to be defiant. Creating a new country, remember, was defiant. This kind of passion is here my friends. As we do the work, and fine tune the vision, we have to keep this vitality, this momentum, this compassion. In this moon circle, we’ll call forth the strength and regenerative power of bucks on the mountain ridges.
