Our Full Moon in July is called the Full Thunder Moon or Full Buck Moon. These names come down to us from Native American tribes who noted that July heralded the beginning of the summer thunder storms. They also observed that July was the time that young male deer, or bucks, started growing their antlers.
This year’s Full Thunder Moon happens in zero degrees and six seconds of Aquarius. The neat thing about having a July Full Moon in zero degrees Aquarius is that August’s Full Moon will also be Aquarian at 29
degrees. Aquarius carries an intellectual energy that emboldens the independent thinker in all of us. We hankers for freedom and variety in our lives. The Water Bearer’s house is ruled by Uranus, planet of revolutionary, societal change. It’s also interesting to note that the tarot card for Uranus is The Fool (beginnings, spontaneity) and that the card for Aquarius is The Star (hope, inspiration).

Under the influence of July’s Full Moon, we’ll see some dynamic breakthroughs for people who’ve done their homework during the past couple of months. If you’ve used the power of this month’s Grand Water Trine to release and redirect your life – no matter how seemingly small the changes – you’ll be soaring just like Aquila, Zeus’ trusty eagle of legend. ( see Eta Aquarids blog) This is exciting stuff because these changes will be far-reaching and lifelong.

Also on the 22nd, Venus enters the sign of Virgo. This is Venus at her most practical and discerning. Venus has much to offer and she wears it with confidence. She knows what she wants and it’s not just some flash in the pan sort of romance. We’ll all be seeking the deeper meaning of the word, ‘relationship.’ Male or female, Venus in Virgo tells us to seek true depth of character in a partner. “Faint heart never won fair maid (or male for that matter).”
The Thunder Moon is still at perigee (closer to Earth in its orbit) this month and you’ll continue to hear the term, ‘super moon’ used. Check out "June’s Full Strawberry Moon," blog for more complete information on the term. The important thing to remember, however, is that July’s Full Moon is pretty powerful. It will be 12 percent larger and 26 percent brighter than a regular Full Moon. No need for night vision goggles on the 22nd, that’s for sure. Remember to manifest, people. As an added perk, Lady Moon rises as the sun sets this month and she may well cloak herself in sunset colors - rosy pink, lavender or even orange. Go somewhere with that certain someone and enjoy a quiet, romantic picnic as you watch the moonrise.
