July’s full moon, the Buck Moon, is in Capricorn, and astrologers are saying it will challenge people and allow them to grow.
“Anywhere you’ve been holding yourself back, it’s going to show up loud and clear,” said astrologer Christian Klausner in a video posted to Instagram.
The cardinal signs will be most affected by the moon, according to astrologer Evan Nathaniel Grim. And while it may feel like they’re being punished, the universe is actually freeing them from a limiting world.
These four signs will be receiving “keys to a better life” during July’s full moon. Here’s what to know.
Four signs will be affected the most by the moon
While everyone will feel the energy the Capricorn full moon brings, these four signs will be impacted, according to Grim.

- Capricorn- Anyone born between December 22 and January 19
- Cancer- Anyone born between June 21 and July 22
- Aries- Anyone born between March 21 and April 19
- Libra- Anyone born between September 23 and October 22
How will these 4 signs be affected?
The Capricorn full moon will dissolve any notions that any of the four signs listed had about what the “ideal” person truly is, according to Grim.
“There’s a feeling that we have to let go of something that’s now outdated or something that’s become brittle, hardened by time, decaying,” he said in a video posted to TikTok.
Capricorn, Cancer, Aries and Libra might feel like they need to move on from commitments they made that no longer “resonate” with who they are today.
While it might feel odd the move away from these commitments, these four signs are going to either be “owning up to their responsibilities or letting them go.”
When is the full moon in July?
The full moon will be at its peak on Thursday, July 10, at 4:37 p.m. ET.
