July 21 – Rare Second Full Moon in Capricorn This phase occurs at 10:18 UTC. This full moon was known by early Native American tribes as the Buck Moon because the male buck deer would begin to grow their new antlers at this time of year. This moon has also been known as the Thunder Moon and the Hay Moon. This is time for renewal and regeneration but can also signal some antlers butting heads. Capricorn can bring in deep emotions and sometimes others don’t have those. It can be frustrating when others don’t see things as deeply as you do. Try to have empthy for others this full moon, we are all not seeing things from the same perspective.
