I think we can all agree that it’s been an absolutely shithouse year (which we were warned about via 2025’s numerology, more on that later!). Well, now is your chance to turn the year around ‘cos the Buck Moon rises in Australia today, coinciding with the July Full Moon in Capricorn.
Channel that earth sign energy to slay anything (or anyone) in your life that needs slaying and smash out the rest of the year.
Read on for everything you need to know about the mystical Buck Moon…
The Buck Moon falls in the July Full Moon in Capricorn.
What is the Buck Moon?
It’s the full moon that hits in July, and in astrology, it’s basically your cosmic reminder to get your life together. It’s named after the time of year when male deer (aka bucks) start growing their antlers — so think of it as a major glow-up moment from the universe.
When is the Buck Moon in Australia?
The Buck Moon – which coincides with the July Full Moon in Capricorn – rises on July 11, 2025 at 6:36am.
In Australia, the Buck Moon still goes off in July, but with a bit of a seasonal remix.
It’s linked to deer growing new antlers in summer, but down here, July hits in the middle of winter. So yeah, no bucks roaming around our backyards.
Still, the Buck Moon brings the same vibes: growth, glow-ups, and grounding energy, no matter the weather.
What does it mean?
The Buck Moon hits different because it pushes you to drop what’s not working and boss up. Given that it coincides with the July Full Moon in Capricorn, the vibe is hustle-mode and and doing whatever sets your soul on fire. Either way, the Buck Moon is all about levelling up, shedding what’s not working, and stepping into your power.
The vibe is also about setting boundaries, building something real, or shaking things up. It’s a prime time to release, reflect, and realign. Full moons bring things to a head, so expect major clarity, emotional feels, and maybe even a reality check.
Have you been having a rough one this year? That’s ‘cos we’re in a nine year, which is a time for endings and conclusions as it’s the end of the numerology cycle, before we start from scratch with a one year in 2026. So the Buck Moon is here to help you make the necessary changes now so the rest of the year pans out perfectly and puts you in a beaut position to start with new cycle afresh.
Ritual for the Buck Moon
Alright bestie, the Buck Moon is here and it’s giving major glow-up energy. Think: transformation, stepping into your power, and finally doing the thing you’ve been procrastinating on since Mercury was last in retrograde.

Here’s a simple ritual to tap into that vibe:
1. Cleanse your space (and your vibe)
Light some incense, sage, palo santo, or play your fave high-vibe playlist. Open a window and let that stagnant energy yeet itself out of your life.
2. Journal it out
Write down:
- What you’re ready to leave behind (toxic habits, self-doubt, situationships)
- What you’re manifesting (clarity, confidence, cash, peace — whatever speaks to you)
3. Burn baby burn (safely)
Rip out the “I’m done with this” list and burn it in a fire-safe dish. Watch that shit go up in flames and say: “I release what no longer serves me.” (Feel free to add dramatic hand gestures for extra power.)
4. Charge your crystals (or your intentions)
Put your crystals, water, or goals on a windowsill to soak in that full moon glow. Even if you’re just placing your affirmations there — let the moon supercharge them.
5. Sit, breathe, vibe
Take a few minutes to just be. Breathe. Visualise the version of you you’re becoming. Spoiler: they’re thriving.
