The Buck Moon: Grounded Power & Soulful Responsibility

Full Moon in Capricorn – 10 July 2025

As the Full Buck Moon rises in Capricorn on Thursday, 10 July, we are invited to reflect on our inner commitments and stand confidently in our own leadership.

Capricorn’s energy is clear, earthy, and steady—reminding us that true power comes from honest responsibility and aligned action. Under this moonlight, we’re supported to release the burdens we’ve been carrying and to anchor our path with intentional clarity.

 What This Moon Illuminates

This Full Moon calls us to balance ambition with authenticity:

• Capricorn shows us our foundation: career, public life, and inner structure

• Its opposition to Cancer (where the Sun is) ask us to align that structure with emotional nourishment and self-care

You may sense:

• A need to assess your long-term commitments

• A pull to let go of patterns that have quietly weighed you down

• A desire to merge ambition with soul alignment

It’s a pivotal moment to release and recalibrate—making space for a future built on authentic values and deep presence.

 A Ritual to Anchor Purpose

Gather: candle, journal + pen, bowl of salt or earth, crystals if you feel drawn (see below).

1. Set the tone: 

Light your candle, take deep breaths, and feel your connection to Earth.

2. Write:

• “What burden am I ready to release tonight?”

• “What vision or commitment deserves my attention now?”

• “How can I honour both my ambition and emotional wellbeing?”

• What old responsibility am I ready to release?

• How can I better honour my emotional needs while pursuing my goals?

• What commitment are my soul and heart asking me to claim?

• How can I walk forward from here with integrity and presence?

3. Release:

 Safely burn or bury the paper in salt/earth—visualise old patterns dissolving.

4. Anchor:

 Place one hand on your heart and one on your feet and Say:

“I release what no longer serves me. I align with my true purpose. I stand grounded in my own power.”
