Full Moon – Reap What You Have Sown!

The Full Moon for July will occur on the 10^th at 18 degrees and 50 minutes in the sign of Capricorn. In my Eastern Standard Time zone it will happen at 4:37 pm.

It takes 29.5 days from one Full Moon to the next, spending approximately 2 and ½ days in a sign. The day before and the day after comprise the peak time of the Full Moon energy. The Full Moon is the time of “the harvest”. What began with the New Moon reaches its full potential before waning, fading, and preparing for a new cycle.

Moon Phases and Zodiac Signs: Your Manifestation Guide

The Full Moon in July is known as the Buck Moon, named by Indigenous peoples for the time when young deer begin to grow new antlers—symbolizing strength, renewal, and steady growth. Other names for this moon include the Thunder Moon, tied to midsummer’s powerful storms; the Hay Moon, marking the season of harvest and hard work; and occasionally the Wort Moon, associated with gathering healing herbs. Together, these names reflect a time of grounded action, maturation, and honoring nature’s rhythm. This is a moment to harness your inner power, embrace transformation, and stand tall in your truth.

Full Moon in Capricorn – Emotional Adventure

This Full Moon occurs in the 2nd decan of Capricorn, blending Capricorn’s disciplined ambition with Taurus’ grounded sensuality. The rulers here are Saturn, the planet of structure and responsibility, and Venus, the ruler of beauty, values, and comfort. This Capricorn/Taurus Moon emphasizes steady progress, emotional resilience, and the power of enduring devotion. It’s a time to commit to long-term goals, honor what truly matters, and build beauty through perseverance. Under this stabilizing Full Moon, embrace patience, cultivate inner worth, and take deliberate steps toward lasting success and soulful fulfillment.

With this Full Moon at 18d50m, the Sabian Symbol is 19 Capricorn, “A child of about five with a huge shopping bag.” Marc Edmund Jones says, “This is a symbol of the spiritual stewardship of man as expressed in his inherent sense of responsibility for the welfare of others, and in his desire to serve his community to the extreme of his particular range of skills. There is wonderful recompense for the individual willing to share the total of his potentialities, and to enjoy those of his fellows to the limit of his understanding. His quickening to every opportunity of common function becomes a special self-fulfillment.” The key word is: EXPECTATION.

The Number of This Full Moon

This Full Moon will occur on 07/10/2025, which totals 17, which reduces to 8. In numerology, the number 8 represents power, ambition, and material success. It embodies the balance between the spiritual and physical worlds, emphasizing discipline, resilience, and mastery. Under the influence of 8, we seek achievement and personal authority while understanding the karmic nature of cause and effect. This number symbolizes strength, leadership, and the ability to manifest abundance. Ultimately, 8 teaches us to harness our inner power and build a legacy through determination and wisdom.

When a Full Moon falls on the 10th day, which reduces to 1, the energy is bold, initiating, and self-directed. The number 1 speaks to leadership, clarity of purpose, and new beginnings—amplified under the influence of a Full Moon. Paired with Capricorn’s drive and Taurus’ focus, this moment urges you to take charge with vision and practicality. It’s a time to align with your inner authority, take decisive action, and build from a place of self-trust. Start strong—your foundation is ready.

To align with the Capricorn Full Moon and the energy of 10/1, create a grounded ritual that honors self-leadership and purpose. Light a white or deep earth-toned candle to symbolize clarity, discipline, and inner authority. Write down one goal you’re ready to commit to—and three practical steps you can take to begin. Then, speak aloud an affirmation of confidence and responsibility. This ritual channels Capricorn’s steady ambition and 1’s drive to initiate. End with a moment of stillness, asking for strength, focus, and alignment with your higher mission.
