What is the meaning of the Buck Moon?

The July full moon is known as the “Buck Moon,” and like most full moon names, its origins can be traced back to Indigenous American customs.

The Algonquin people coined the phrase after observing that male deer, or bucks, started to grow new antlers in July. These antlers were wrapped in soft, velvety fur.

Since then, the word has become widely used in everything from contemporary lunar calendars to farmers’ almanacks.

The Buck Moon is frequently linked to transformation, growth, and grounding energy, even outside of its woods origins.

Consider it a lunar permission slip to shed old layers and begin your next chapter; it’s a cosmic cue to reflect, re-align, and welcome personal transformation.
