Buck Moon Blessings: Glow-Up Energy, Wild Power, and Full Moon Magick

Welcome to the Buck Moon: Where Wild Meets Wise

The Buck Moon rises every July, antlers sharp and spirit wild. It’s named after the time when young deer—bucks—begin to grow their antlers, and metaphorically? So do we. This is the full moon of power, potential, growth, and unapologetic transformation. If the New Year had a hot older sister who worked out, practiced moon magic, and wasn’t afraid to cut cords—this would be her.

So whether you're charging your crystals, cutting your bangs, or casting that full moon spell to finally let go of your last situationship (he knows what he did), the Buck Moon is here to amplify your intentions with earthy, fiery, forward-moving energy.

Let’s dive into the meaning, magick, and rituals for this bold lunar beauty.

What Is the Buck Moon? (And Why Should You Care?)

The Buck Moon is the full moon in July, and in 2025, it lands on July 10th. Traditionally named by the Algonquin tribes and other Indigenous peoples of North America, this moon marks the season when male deer begin to grow their antlers in earnest—symbolizing strength, growth, and emergence.

Energetically, the Buck Moon is all about:

• Personal empowerment and leveling up

• Wild ambition and bold vision

• Embracing physical and spiritual transformation

• Connecting to nature’s rhythm and your inner wild

It’s giving: main character glow-up with ancestral backing.

This year, the Buck Moon rises in Capricorn, grounding all that wild energy in strategy and structure. That means it’s not just about dreaming big—it’s about planning big. Your manifestations aren’t meant to live on your Pinterest board. The Buck Moon is the push to make them real.

Key themes include:

• Discipline meets desire

• Releasing what no longer supports your next chapter

Pair that with a post-solstice summer vibe, and this moon is prime time to claim what’s yours.

How to Work with the Buck Moon Energy

Whether you’re a seasoned moon witch or a curious beginner with a candle and a dream, the Buck Moon has something powerful to offer. Here's how to harness it:

1. Do a Full Moon Release Ritual
This is prime time to let go of what’s holding you back—limiting beliefs, toxic habits, unaligned goals, and yes, exes with Saturn returns and red flags.

• Write down what you’re releasing on bay leaves or paper

• Burn them safely under the moonlight

• Say: “I release what no longer serves me. I choose power, peace, and purpose.”

2. Charge Your Tools (and Your Self)
Place your crystals, tarot decks, or moon water under the light of the Buck Moon. You can also lay in the moonlight yourself for a quick energy cleanse and glow-up.

3. Call in Courage with a Manifestation Spell
Use fire magic to ignite your goals. Write your intention on paper and burn it in a fire-safe dish. Visualize it taking root in your life. Add herbs or crystals to boost the spell.

4. Do a Body Empowerment Ritual
This moon rules growth and strength, so honor your body.

• Take a salt bath with rosemary and basil

• Give yourself a massage with oils charged under the moon

• Dance in the mirror. Naked. Bold. Free.

5. Start a 30-Day Power Plan
Capricorn energy loves structure. Use this moon to set one bold goal and create a plan for achieving it over the next month. Bonus points if you write it with glitter pens.
