The Buck Moon, the most significant full moon of the year, will reach its peak illumination on Thursday, July 10, at 4:37 p.m. ET. Celebrity astrologer Kyle Thomas was featured on “Good Morning America” to share his expertise. He shared important ways everyone can harness the energy of this moon. The Buck Moon, named by northeastern Native American tribes due to the rapid growth of male deer antlers during this period, carries unique astrological significance based on its position in the night sky.
Astrologically speaking, this year’s Buck Moon is in Capricorn, an industrious Earth sign known for its practicality and stability. Here’s how every zodiac sign can make the most of this full moon, depending on their sign’s relationship to this lunation. As Thomas said, each sign will be affected in its own way, by everything from financial windfalls to community ties.
The Influence of Capricorn
Capricorns, those born between December 22 and January 19, would do well to make their move with this full moon in effect. Take center stage and dazzle their shorts off! Thomas encourages the idea that remarkable things are possible and remarkable things are remembered.
“The most important full moon of the year arrives with your name on it!” – Kyle Thomas
This full moon gives you the authority and audacity to be your own boss while being a standing figure in any work and private realm. As Thomas notes, “You have more dominance now, so don’t be afraid to lay down the law!” This is an excellent time for go-getting Capricorns to reenter the ring and get ahead with their motivations and make moves with lasting influence.
Moreover, Thomas points out that Earth signs — Capricorns included — have the tools to make money moves while the world is upside down. Instead, he proposes we define wealth in terms that are represented physically, such as coins or checks. This simple practice can magnetize all kinds of positive energies related to money.
