Sunday, July 9 begins The
Buck Full Moon or the Full Moon in Capricorn. The Buck Moon (also known as the
Hay Moon or Thunder Moon) derives its name from season when the young Male deer
or “bucks” grow antlers, a time of adulthood and maturation. True to Capricorn’s
ruling planet, Saturn, which governs authority, time and maturity, The Buck
Full Moon is a time of transition from youth spring to mature summer.
Capricorn, cardinal Earth sign,
is concerned with personal ambition, rules, boundaries and limits. At its best
it can be highly ethical, self directed, disciplined and industrious. At the
worst, it can be callous, selfish, materialistic and abrasive.
The Moon is the planet
responsible for needs. Nurturing, feeding, emotional security and one’s maternal
experiences are governed the Moon. The Moon represents how you pursue, receive
and maintain those needs. The Full Moons increases our demands for those needs,
urging us to acquire them in the most direct way.
Full Moons are times for
completions, bringing projects and endeavors to their conclusions or
redirecting existing energies to new efforts and enterprises. Full Moons nourish
and feed our actions, providing the energy and support to help them develop and
grow.
The sign that governs the
Moon is Cancer. This management or “Rulership”
provides the characteristics we associate with that sign. Because Capricorn is
the sign opposite of the sign of Cancer, the Moon, when it travels through
Capricorn is at its weakest state or what we in astrology call it’s ‘detriment”. This means that you can
expect greater challenges and demands from the moon during this transit i.e.
not getting sufficient nutrition, rest and so forth. You are urged to be patience and calm in
through the course of this transit(next three days).
Capricorn, you should view the next three days as a
time to take stock of how you feel and what you need. Consider it a time of
preparation for your larger aims and ambitions by securing and maintaining that
which helps you feel strong and stable.
Cancer, examine some of the needs you’ve overlooked or neglected. Your
ruling planet in its detriment may make this somewhat challenging but the extra
scrutiny and care you take during this transit may make such efforts productive
and affirming.
Aries and Libra, you may
have to review how you’ve dealt with some particular needs in the past to see how
you can better address it in the future. You may be inclined to disregard the
matter but during the next three days if you devote yourself attending to that
need it may prove to be to your profit.
The
Buck full Moon ushers in a time where we can seek to fulfill our needs with
authority and certainty. While it may require dedication and commitment, the
Capricorn Full Moon may very well help you acquire that which you need most.
