First of Four Supermoons, the "Buck Moon," to Illuminate the Sky Tonight

Get ready for an extraordinary sight as the first of four supermoons graces the night sky tonight. Known as the "Buck Moon" during this time of the year, it will shine brighter and appear slightly larger than a typical full moon. The Buck Moon gets its name because it coincides with the period when male deer grow their antlers. Additionally, it is also called the "salmon moon" due to the timing of salmon runs. Some other names associated with this special moon include the "thunder," "hay," "mead," and "rose" moon. During a full moon, the sun, Earth, and moon align, allowing sunlight to directly illuminate the visible part of the moon that we see from Earth. However, a supermoon occurs because of the moon's elliptical orbit. As the moon follows its path, it reaches two crucial points: the apogee, where it is farthest from Earth, and the perigee, where it is closest to Earth. A supermoon happens when the moon is approximately 90 percent of the way toward its perigee position and is simultaneously in the full moon phase. This combination makes it appear larger and brighter in the night sky.

July's buck moon is one of four supermoons to rise in 2023. The full moon will appear to be about 7% larger, according to The Old Farmer's Almanac. The Buck Moon marks the first supermoon of 2023, and we can look forward to three more in the upcoming months. In August, we will witness the "sturgeon moon" on the 1st and the "blue moon" on the 30th. The "harvest moon" will grace the sky on September 29th. To catch a glimpse of this magnificent supermoon, find a spot where you have a clear view of the southeastern sky after sunset. However, visibility may depend on the local weather conditions in your area. At the very least, you can enjoy the full moon on Sunday night through Monday morning and again on Monday night through Tuesday morning. Make sure not to miss this awe-inspiring celestial event as the Buck Moon illuminates the night sky, providing a mesmerizing experience for stargazers and moon enthusiasts alike.

Libra ♎️energy✨ is great for beautifying the home🏡 and you may now feel a greater need for connection and harmony💞, so it's a good time for a date, a catch up with a good friend or perhaps a family👩‍👩‍👧‍👦 games night... . Just make sure you bring nibbles (or cake🍰), as this sign has a sweet tooth!! . We're also nearing the Equinox, so you may have been confronting some shadow🌫 energy of late . If you've had an intense time, meditation✨🙏🏻, rest and spending time in nature can help to bring you back into balance⚖️ . What has this time taught you? . We are now half way through our lunar 🌙 year, so now is a good time to check in with where you're at in relation to your goals📝. . What in your life gives you a sense of thankfulness?✨🙏🏻 .

. You may feel prompted to make time for some fun😊 as the Moon🌙 makes her way to the end of Leo♌️ .

As the Moon🌙 moves through Aries♈️ for the next two days, tap into the dynamic energy✨ to stay motivated and on track with your goals⚽️. . The Moon/Jupiter opposition may be indicative of many demands on your energy, but with a growing conjunction to Venus today, the Aries♈️ tendency to impatience is softened. . This makes for an assertive, yet calm, centred✨🙏🏻 and harmonious day if you can tap into it and take it one step👣 at a time. . What's one step👣 that you can take today that will lead to greater freedom and value💸 within your life? . This may be something that you need to consider bringing in at the next New Moon🌑 or perhaps it's something that you you need to let go of and relinquish that will allow for greater space💫 and growth. . Mercury has now cleared his recent retrograde zone, so it's a great time to consider🤔 putting some of those considered plans and ideas🙇🏽 into action; especially as Mercury is now travelling through Taurus♉️ - great for steady manifestation. . What intentions📝 will you set in place at our next New Moon? . Breathe🌬 . You've got this!! .

The Moon🌙 is now in her home sign of Cancer♋️ where she'll stay for the next 2 days (until Wednesday morning here in Brisbane (AEST, GMT+10)) . Making this a great day for baking🍰, nurturing (self, others, projects) and creating a cosy environment at home🏡 . Cancer energy♋️✨ is tender, gentle and protective💝 and you may wish to avoid loud places due to increased sensitivity. . An increase in appetite is likely🍴 (Cancer♋️ rules the stomach), but watch for worry and emotional eating, which can indicate that past emotional issues😔 may need to be addressed and released🌬 . If you'd like to track the Moon🌙 as she moves through her 8 phases each month and tune into her ebb and flow🌊 - when to relax and when to go, go, go, the link is in my bio🖕🏼 .

. We ate light tonight with a family dinner of self-assemble raw pizza🍕 and a green salad😋 . This type of food makes my body happy :) and increases my energy levels🙌🏻, which is much needed at the minute, as we journey through the end of a very deep balsamic phase 😴💤 and a sojourn with Venus retrograde ❤️ . How you going out there? . Are you beginning to get the stirrings of some of that Aries♈️ motivation, as we move closer towards tomorrow's New Moon🌑? . I think I might just be (despite the fact I'm waiting to pick my son up from football training in my PJs) - true story 🙂 .
