July's Full Moon Is the Biggest Super Moon of the Year
Get ready for a big change.
July 13 marks the arrival of the biggest super moon of the year, meaning la luna is orbiting more closely to the earth, appearing larger and brighter, as well as supercharging the celestial planet’s energy. Called the “buck moon” by the Old Farmer’s Almanac, this month’s full moon falls in Capricorn, the zodiac sign’s ambitious and natural-born leader.
Full moons symbolize a chapter closing, presenting the perfect time for us to evaluate how the past month has been and create intentions to move forward. Because the goat of the horoscope is best known for its laser focus and insatiable desire for the best in life, this cosmic culmination shifts our attention to areas regarding our work life. With the Sun in empathetic and homebody Cancer, the surge of astrological energy invites us to use Capricorn’s assertive nature to set boundaries for ourselves both in our outer and inner worlds.
Use the power of July’s super moon to step back and take a look at the bigger picture for your own journey and make a concrete plan to fill in the gaps where needed.

Aries
Lighting up your tenth house of career and reputation, the full moon gives you the push to focus on doing what makes you happy. If there are any pain points at work, take the time to address what’s bothering you and where your true loyalties lie. It’s okay if work is just a means to an end for you, but if you can find a way to better integrate your personal and professional life, go for it. It’s okay to step into the spotlight.
Taurus
Activating your ninth house of higher thought and wisdom, the current sociopolitical climate may have you feeling a strong pull to use your voice to stand up for what’s right. As an earth sign, Tauruses are often level-headed, but the bull can be headstrong. Use the full moon to remind yourself it’s okay to speak up — no one benefits from neutrality.
Gemini
The Capricorn full moon falls in your eighth house of resurrection, transformation and sex. While this house rules the darker side of things, it also represents investments and resources. The full moon is a call to look closely at what’s no longer serving you. It’s okay if you feel your value system shifting as changing beliefs is a sign of growth and maturity. While you are typically full steam ahead when it comes to accomplishing your goals, the moon’s latest phase is asking you to realign your intentions with your own sense of purpose.
Cancer
Lying in your seventh house of partnership, this is the perfect opportunity to examine your interpersonal relationships.

Scorpio
Resting in your third house of communication, the super moon in Capricorn is asking the ever-mysterious Scorpio to investigate how you talk to yourself as it brings to light any negative patterns of thought.

The Buck Moon is the universe giving you permission to take the night off and bask in your achievements.
Aquarius
In your twelfth house of the subconscious, the July full moon brings to light any deep-seated beliefs you may have that are holding you back.
