Full Moon Blessings.

The moon is full, round as a witch’s mirror, bright with the old light.
She hangs over the woods like a lantern, silver shielded, watching all.

In the old ways, such nights were for reckoning, to speak with the ancestors, to cast off what clings, and to walk forward, clean in spirit. This is a time for unburdening, for laying down the worn and the heavy, for clearing space, and for tending the soul.

The land listens on nights like this. So should we.

Cast off what clings, charge charms and tools, speak intentions, leave offerings where shadow meets shine. Tread soft. Light your candle. Let the old moon see your soul laid bare.
Full moon blessings to you and yours.

🌕 Full Buck Moon – July 10, 2025
On this night, the Moon reaches its full phase, known in North American tradition as the “Buck Moon” — named for the time of year when male deer (bucks) begin growing their new antlers, covered in velvety skin.

🌌 Astronomical Insight:
This Full Moon occurs when the Moon is opposite the Sun (in ecliptic longitude), fully illuminated as seen from Earth. In July 2025, it rises in Capricornus, bathing the landscape in soft golden light. It appears particularly luminous in summer skies due to the Moon’s low trajectory, often creating larger-than-usual moon illusions near the horizon.

📏 Moon Facts This Month:
• Phase: Full Moon
• Date/Time: July 10, 2025
• Illumination: 100%
• Moonrise: Around sunset
• Distance from Earth: ~368,000 km
• Angular size: ~33 arcminutes

🦌 The association with bucks comes from ancient ecological knowledge—tracking wildlife patterns alongside celestial events. In many cultures, full moons also aligned with agricultural or hunting cycles, helping communities stay in tune with seasonal rhythms.

🔭 Whether you’re an astronomer, a wildlife enthusiast, or just someone who looks up at the sky in wonder—this moon invites us to reflect on cycles of growth, light, and life.

🌕🦌 Full Buck Moon – July 10, 2025

On July 10, 2025, the night sky was illuminated by the glowing presence of the Full Buck Moon—a celestial milestone deeply rooted in nature and tradition.

🔍 Why “Buck Moon”?
This full moon gets its name from a seasonal marker: July is when young male deer (bucks) begin to grow their new antlers. Covered in velvet and full of potential, these antlers symbolize renewal and strength—echoed by the moon’s steady rhythm in the sky.

🔭 Astronomical Notes:
– The moon appeared full and golden, especially near the horizon
– It rose shortly after sunset and traveled across the sky all night
– Positioned near the galactic center, it offered a perfect pairing with the Milky Way for stargazers and photographers

🌍 Cultural Roots:
Also known as the Thunder Moon or Hay Moon, this lunar phase was used by Native American and agrarian societies to guide seasonal activities like harvesting, gathering herbs, or holding ceremonies.

💫 As the Moon cycled into fullness, it reminded us of nature’s timing, ancient traditions, and the quiet power of transformation.
