Under the glow of the 2025 Buck Moon in Capricorn, we’re being asked to build—not just dreams, but foundations. This is a lunation of soul-aligned ambition, sacred discipline, and steady magic.
On Thursday, July 10th at 4:37 p.m. ET, July’s Full Moon reaches its peak under the sturdy, mountain-climbing sign of Capricorn. Known as the Buck Moon, this lunation is named for the time of year when deer begin to grow new antlers—symbolizing strength, growth, and return of masculine energy. Other Indigenous names include the Thunder Moon, Hay Moon, Raspberry Moon, and Salmon Moon—each echoing themes of ripening, nourishment, and wild instinct.
Capricorn moons are builders, planners, and master manifestors. This one, coming just weeks after the Solstice, reminds us that real magic takes root in persistence. With the Sun in emotional Cancer, we’re asked to find balance between heart and hustle, home and public path, and tenderness and tenacity.
Planetary alignments add to the magic: Mars offers drive, Saturn lends wisdom, and Uranus whispers change. This isn’t chaotic energy—it’s strategy with a soul.
Capricorn full moons don’t ask for quick wins—they ask for legacy. This is an Earth sign that climbs slowly, but with purpose. Its lunar light casts long shadows, revealing where structure must be strengthened and where old systems must finally crumble. It’s not about control—it’s about commitment to what truly matters.
Let this Moon show you where your inner mountain calls—then begin the sacred ascent, one honest step at a time.
Below, you’ll find zodiac forecasts and affirmations crafted for each sign, to help you align with the grounded wisdom and long-view magic of this Full Moon.

Your work life is on fire—but the Moon reminds you that legacy is more than a title. You’re building something that will last, so focus not just on promotion, but purpose. Set intentions for your long-term path, not just your next move. Let your ambition rise, but root it in meaning.

🌕 Capricorn Full Moon Ceremony
Grounding Your Ambition
As the Full Buck Moon rises in Capricorn’s ancient light, you may feel the pulse of purpose vibrating beneath your skin. This isn’t a rush to the top—it’s a reverent pause at the base of the mountain, asking what’s worth climbing now.
Before the next chapter unfolds, this is your moment to root. To remember your why. To gather your tools and walk forward with both feet on the ground and soul in the sky.
Below is a ceremony to anchor your intentions into Earth and call in the next version of yourself—one that builds with love, not pressure.
🌿 Ceremony Steps
Supplies:
- Earth element (crystal, soil, or salt)
- Candle (white or brown for grounding)
- Bowl of water or tea
- Pen & paper
- Cleanse your space with smoke (white sage, palo santo, dragon’s blood or frankinscense and myrhh are great), sound, or breath. Light your candle.
- Ground in stillness: Sit or stand. Visualize roots extending from your feet into the Earth.
- Write what you’re releasing—outdated goals, fears of failure, pressure to be perfect. Burn, tear, or bury it. Remember that writing it down grounds it into this physical reality. You’re releasing something tangible!
- Call in your next path: Write a new intention based on aligned ambition—what your soul is truly ready to create. Speak it aloud and call it to you.
- Seal with gratitude: Sip your water or tea, place your hand over your heart, and whisper “thank you” to All There Is and yourself.
As we stand beneath the glow of this Buck Moon, may we remember that true power doesn’t shout—it builds. Slowly. Steadily. And with love. Be kind to yourself as you walk your path of becoming. And if you’re feeling uncertain about your worth or path, I invite you to pause and watch my video, I Am Enough. Let those words land. Let them rebuild your roots.
