Today the Moon entered its Full Moon phase! According to the Old Farmer’s Almanac, today’s Full Moon is referred to as the Buck Moon. Why? Because the antlers of male deer (bucks) are going through their growing period during July!
There are several indigenous names for the July Full Moon phase as well, including the Feather Molting Moon (Cree), the Salmon Moon (Tlingit), the Berry Moon (Anishinaabe), Raspberry Moon (Algonquin, Ojibwe), and the Thunder Moon (Western Abenaki). These names refer to natural events that take place during the month of July, such as stormy weather, berry growing seasons, and fish migration patterns.
Today’s Full Moon also happens to be a Supermoon, meaning that the Moon appears to be larger and brighter in the night sky than normal. This phenomenon is due to the Moon’s elliptical orbit around Earth; When there is a Supermoon, the Moon is at its closest point to Earth in its orbit.
Happy stargazing y’all, and keep an eye out on July 9th for when the Moon enters its Last Quarter phase!

निशा के घुप्प अंधेरे में
तू लग रहा चमकता मोती है;
मेरे मन के तिमिर में तू ही मेरा उदोती है।
तूने मुझसे ये कैसा राब्ता रखा है:
ना मिले हो, ना फासला रखा है।
तेरी चाहत ने मुझे इस कदर संवारा है,
कि तेरे लिए रोज़ का इंतज़ार भी गवारा है।
तुझे देखते देखते मै खुदा से मुलाक़ात कर लेती हूं;
किसी और से जो ना कर पाऊं
तुझसे हर वो बात कर लेती हूं।
ये रिश्ता जो मैं बिन वादों के लिए बैठी हूं,
कोसों दूर पर करीब तेरे ही हुए बैठी हूं।
तू आकाश का गहना बना
तारों की चादर ओढ़े बैठा है,
मैं यहां चत पर बैठे सोच रही कैसे
मेरा सुकून तेरी चांदनी में रहता है।
मुझे ये मौन रात पसंद है;
हक से तुझपे बैठा मुझे तेरा हर दाग पसंद है।

Happy Noumenia! (12/13/23)
What is a personal goal or blessing you'd like to bring to you or your household this month?
I would like to work on participating in the things I like to do and balancing my hobbies in general to experience them all more instead of 1 or 2 excessively at a time. I would also like to manifest prosperity in all ways to my household members as we are starting new jobs, taking on new interests, and finding ways to thrive.
