The Buck Full Moon will light up the sky on Friday, July 11, 2025. Named by the Algonquin people, the “Buck Moon” marks the time male deer grow new velvet-covered antlers. Today, it symbolizes transformation, growth, and grounding energy.

“It’s a cosmic cue to reflect, re-align, and welcome personal transformation.” Even in Australia, where it’s winter in July, the moon holds the same meaning—renewal and inner change—even without deer nearby.

The Buck Moon reaches its peak at **6:38 AM AEST** and rises again at **5:37 PM AEST**. Though slightly past its peak, it will still appear **99% full** and bright in the evening sky.

To celebrate, you can:

* **Moon-gaze and manifest:** Write down what you want to welcome or release—then safely burn the note like a spell.
* **Soak up the vibes:** Take a sea salt bath, light incense, and unwind.
* **Do something sacred:** Meditate, pull a tarot card, charge your crystals, or simply sip tea in silence.

This full moon is seen as “a lunar permission slip to shed old layers and begin your next chapter.”
