Because this full moon is in Capricorn, issues around structure, ambition, and goals will come into focus as well as hard work, discipline, and responsibility. This may not sound exciting, but look at it this way: This full moon in July, also called the Thunder Moon, will enable and encourage us to get our lives in order.

July's first quarter moon in Libra takes on a potent theme of balance and companionship, as this Air sign is one of harmony and justice, challenging us to find equilibrium between our personal desires and the needs of others.

July’s full moon is usually called a Buck Moon. The name is derived from male deer, known as bucks, which shed their antlers every year. Regrowth of the antlers tends to begin in July and so the Native American name for July’s full moon became known as the Buck Moon.
