WHY IS IT CALLED THE BUCK MOON?

The full Moon names used by The Old Farmer’s Almanac come from a number of places, including Native American, Colonial American, and European sources. Traditionally, each full Moon name was applied to the entire lunar month in which it occurred, not solely to the full Moon.

The Buck Moon

The full Moon in July is called the Buck Moon because the antlers of male deer (bucks) are in full-growth mode at this time. Bucks shed and regrow their antlers each year, producing a larger and more impressive set as the years go by.

ALTERNATIVE JULY MOON NAMES

Several other names for this month’s Moon also reference animals, including Feather Moulting Moon (Cree) and Salmon Moon, a Tlingit term indicating when fish returned to the area and were ready to be harvested.

Plants are also featured prominently in July’s Moon names. Some of our favorites are Berry Moon (Anishinaabe), Moon When the Chokecherries are Ripe (Dakota), Month of the Ripe Corn Moon (Cherokee), and Raspberry Moon (Algonquin, Ojibwe).

The next full Moon will be on Friday night, July 23, 2021, appearing opposite the Sun in Earth-based longitude at 10:37 p.m. EDT. While this will be on Friday for most of the Americas, from Newfoundland and Greenland eastward to the International Dateline this will be on Saturday, July 24, 2021. Many almanacs and commercial calendars are based on Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) and will show this full Moon on Saturday. The Moon will appear full for about three days around the peak of the full Moon, from Thursday evening through Sunday morning.
