Why it is called the Buck Moon
The Buck Moon is the traditional North American and European name for the full Moon of July, and in 2025 it falls on July 10, 2025 at 18°50' Capricorn. Those names follow the calendar month rather than the zodiac, which is why the 2025 one lands in Capricorn at 18°50' Capricorn while other years put it elsewhere.
