Buck Moon Meaning
The Buck Moon is the full moon that rises in July – named for the time of year when male deer are growing their new antlers.
The buck, after shedding his antlers earlier in the year, is in the midst of growing a new set beneath a cloak of soft velvet that feeds and protects the new growth – destined to become bigger and stronger than the last. The buck teaches us the necessity of loss, trust, and nourishment so that something greater may grow in it’s place.
The shed has already happened. The becoming is now. This moon illuminates what your personal growth and provides a steady, empowering energy that encourages you to trust the process and focus on moving forward.
