July’s full moon is known as the Buck Moon\, named after the time of year when deer begin to regrow their antlers—symbolizing renewal\, strength\, and masculine energy. In 2025\, the Buck Moon rises in the grounded and determined sign of Capricorn\, offering a cosmic push to build\, grow\, and commit to long-term visions. This lunation is ideal for structured manifestation and sacred self-discipline. We will be doing journal and tarot prompts\, discussions\, and a full moon activity centered around these themes! We hope you can join us! URL:https://friendsofoldtown.org/event/full-moon-night/ LOCATION:Moon Phased Metaphysical\, 125 S.
