Capricorn Full Moon – The Buck Moon (July 10, 2025)

Grounding Goals, Reclaiming Discipline, and Celebrating Milestones

Jul 07, 2025

Listen to the podcast version!

The Full Moon in Capricorn calls us into stillness and reflection. It is a moment to pause and take stock of the path we’ve traveled this year. Known as the Buck Moon, this lunation takes its name from the time of year when male deer begin to regrow their antlers. This natural phenomenon symbolizes renewal, rising resilience, and a return to strength. Just like the buck slowly but surely grows his crown, you too are being invited to rebuild, recalibrate, and remember your power.

Capricorn energy is ruled by Saturn, the planet of responsibility, structure, and discipline. Under this Full Moon, you may feel the weight of your long term goals pressing more heavily on your heart. But rather than being overwhelmed, you are encouraged to reconnect with your purpose. Ask yourself: What have you already accomplished? What deserves celebration, even if it feels small? And what still calls to you from the mountaintop?

This Full Moon offers an opportunity to recommit to your vision with clarity and grounded intention. It is a time to evaluate what is working and what needs to shift. The balance between Cancer and Capricorn, emotion and practicality, reminds us that we need both nurturing and structure to thrive. Let this Full Moon help you strengthen the foundations of your ambitions while honoring the feelings that ebb and flow through your journey.

Here are some helpful lists I’ve put together for you:

Bringing Capricorn Energy into Your Home

Capricorn thrives in spaces that feel clean, clear, and purpose driven. Here are some ways to embody this lunar energy in your physical space:

Clean or declutter one area that feels chaotic or stagnant.
Set up a dedicated workspace or spiritual altar to reinforce your focus.
Add items to your home that inspire long term growth, such as a vision board or a goal planner.
Incorporate grounding crystals like black tourmaline, jet, or clear quartz into your home.
Light a candle in a color that matches a personal goal—such as green for prosperity or pink for love, and place it where you can see it every day.
