Full Buck Moon Of July Rises On July 21

The next full moon, known as the Buck Moon, is set to occur on July 21, marking a rare coincidence with the 55th anniversary of the Apollo moon landing in 1969.

The moon will appear full for three days, from Friday evening to Monday morning, making it a full moon weekend.

The name ‘Buck Moon’ comes from the Algonquin tribes of the northeastern United States, who named it after early summer when buck deer grow new antlers.

The moon is also known as the Thunder Moon due to frequent thunderstorms. Europeans called it the Hay Moon or Mead Moon, as it coincides with haymaking and mead-making.

The full moon falls near the middle of the sixth month of the Chinese Year of the Dragon, Tammuz in the Hebrew calendar, and Muharram in the Islamic calendar.

For Hindus, Buddhists, and Jains, it is the Guru Full Moon (Guru Purnima), a time for clearing the mind and honoring the guru. Theravada Buddhists celebrate Asalha Puja, an important festival marking the Buddha’s first sermon after reaching nirvana.
