In July, the Full Moon is the Buck Moon, named after the new antlers that emerge from a stag’s or buck’s forehead around this time of the year. It is also called Thunder Moon, Hay Moon, and Wyrt Moon.

She will be the 1st Super Moon of the Year: 1st of 4 in a row. Be prepared for a powerful ride going into the Fall of the Year! 

A supermoon occurs when the full moon coincides with the moon’s closest approach to Earth in its orbit. Supermoons make the moon appear a little brighter and closer than normal.

Supermoons see the lunar disk appearing larger and brighter in the night sky.

According to In the Sky from New York, July’s Full Buck Moon will rise at 7:10 p.m. EDT (2310 GMT) on Monday (July 3) and will set at 4:33 a.m. EDT (0833 GMT) on Tuesday (July 4).

After July, the next supermoon will rise on Tuesday, August 1 in the form of the Full Sturgeon Moon. 

August will see a second supermoon in the form of the Blue Moon on Aug. 30. This will be a particularly special event for moonwatchers as it will see the moon at its closest during this “supermoon summer” period, at just 222,043 miles (357,344 km) away.

Just after summer 2023 draws to a close on Sept. 23, so too does this festival of supermoons, which ends on Sept. 28 with the rise of September’s Full Corn Moon when the moon will be 224,657 miles (361,552 km) from Earth. 

The Full Corn Moon will also mark the final supermoon of 2023, with the next supermoon scheduled to fall on Sept. 18, 2024, according to In the Sky. Next year will only have two supermoons, with the next after September occurring a month later on Oct. 18, 2024.

The Buck Moon energy is super powerful as it takes place in Capricorn and will bring forth energies to help you gain insight into your true purpose and learn to better understand our emotions, beliefs, and thoughts. The energy of Capricorn is hardworking, determined and abundance focused so if you have dreams that require some chasing – this is the time to do so!

The Sturgeon Supermoon will take place on August 1st in the house of Aquarius.

As with all Supermoons, the energy of the Full Moon is intensified and the sturgeon supermoon will be no different. Aquarius energy is artistic, creative and confident so if you are feeling the urge to start or reignite a creative passion – get to it!

The Super Blue Moon is typically a term used to describe any full moon which is the second to fall within a single month. This year it will take place on August 31st, just 3o days after the Sturgeon Supermoon. If you are someone who’s energy is affected by the Full Moon, expect some intense energy in August with these 2 Supermoons. This heightened energy can leave people feeling overwhelmed and experiencing heightened emotions – this will be a time to really hone in on some self-care rituals. Releasing rituals to shake off unwanted negative energy and feelings!

The Harvest Moon will happen on Friday September 29th, the 10th full moon of 2023 and the 4th and final Supermoon and it will take place in Aries. The name is inspired by nature and agriculture, right in time for the harvesting season and the Fall Equinox, on September 23rd. The spiritual powers of the Harvest Moon cannot be overestimated, as the seasons are changing from Summer to Autumn, this is a time of great change and moments for new opportunities. Harness the confident, passionate and fiery Aries energy around this time and take hold of new prospects that are sure to present themselves!

Leave out some crystals and make some moon water to store this turbo-charged energy for later use.

Try drawing down the moon.  

If you’ve never participated in a drawing down of the moon, many people feel this ceremony carries an especially highly charged power during the supermoon.
