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.
