Well, we\u2019ve made it into the Dog Days of Summer and through the 4th of July and tonight is the last night the first full Moon of the summer season will look \u201cfull.\u201d This month\u2019s full Buck Moon rose after sunset on July 3rd \u2014 the eve of Independence Day and the first \u201cofficial\u201d Dog Day of this summer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
July\u2019s full Buck Moon will be 224,895.4 miles from Earth \u2014 that means that August\u2019s Blue Moon will be the only supermoon this year that will be closer to our planet. This month\u2019s full Moon is called the Buck Moon because the antlers of male deer 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.)
The Cherokee people refer to this month\u2019s Moon as the Month of the Ripe Corn Moon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
While on the subject of the Moon, if you believe in such things, astrologically speaking, the emotional, spiritual, and intuitive effects of a supermoon can be felt on a deep level by earthlings.
I\u2019m not sure I understand what it means, but apparently the astrological meaning of July 2023\u2019s full Moon is: The Capricorn full Moon aspects Mercury, Jupiter, and Saturn (currently in retrograde.) These planets add a positive element to the overall vibe. We\u2019ll opt to take cautious steps towards manifesting our desires, meaning we won\u2019t go overboard with our goals and will remain practical in order to not exceed our expectations.
I guess that\u2019s good advice, but I think I\u2019ll just go out a look at the Moon \u2014 full Moons are pretty cool\u2026..
