July 2025 full buck moon in Capricorn is about to be here — these zodiac signs will feel it the most
The full buck moon will rise on Thursday, July 10, reaching peak illumination at 4:37 P.M. Eastern Time at 18 degrees of Capricorn.
As a cardinal earth sign, Capricorn is an initiator, a builder, a voice of reason and at times a flat-out murderer of whimsy.
Concerned with the tangible, Cap is driven by capital gains, ultimate payoff and the desire to leave a legacy that will outlive it.
Ruled by stern daddy Saturn, Cap energy is about the sweet reward of the hard won. Synonymous with steady ascent, Capricorn teaches us to plot (be it a course or a hostile takeover), take our time, turn disappointments into discipline and setbacks into strategy, crush our enemies, protect a trusted few and carefully play our hand in the ever-loving long game.
As per 'The Old Farmer's Almanac,' July's full moon is known as the Buck Moon, an homage to the male deer whose antlers are in full-blown growth mode during the deep heat of summer.
Bucks grow and shed their antlers each year, producing more elaborate sets as time passes. When the antlers are fully grown, they harden to bone.
The Buck Moon will be most visible on the night of July 10 and into the early morning hours of July 11.

Daily Horoscope for July 13, 2025
General Daily Insight for July 13, 2025 Stay ready. Dedicated Saturn enters its retrograde period in independent Aries at 12:07 am EDT, which can create frustration around personal discipline, demanding that we be prepared rather than impulsive. The tender Moon then moves into dreamy Pisces, enticing us to hit the snooze button and let everything roll over us. What we really need is to stand firm! When the Moon squares up against unpredictable Uranus, unexpected obstacles can be a rude awakening. A half-hearted effort just won't cut it. Aries March 21 – April 19 Recalibration might be necessary to find your footing. You're learning to stick with a routine that elevates you. You may have been very attached to a habit that was fun or that you shared with other people, but over time, noticed the various negative effects it had on your mind or body. Maybe it wasted your time or energy! You don't even have to give such things up completely — it's simply important to strike the right balance. If something feels unbalanced, it probably is. Taurus April 20 – May 20 Today holds more than meets the eye. Prioritizing the source should help you identify whatever you've been trying to overcome. In particular, if you've been battling surface problems, you're ready to look deeper. What secrets lie within? Being introspective is more important than ever, so take a closer look to make sure that you're not missing anything. It might be a good idea to reach out to others to get their perspective, because your blind spot might be hard to look past. Gemini May 21 – June 20 Being consistent with the people that you care about can elevate your current life. You may have found that certain connections in your life are slipping because you haven't been keeping up with each other. While it's natural for adults to be busy, it's critical to reach out and try to connect with others when you have the chance. If you want someone to stay in your life for the long run, they deserve to know that. Reach out or risk missing out. Cancer June 21 – July 22 You don't have to reach the apex right away. It may feel like you're very behind, whether that's due to the successes of others or a personal lack of visible progress, but worry not. Your triumph is coming, but it could be delayed by a lack of consistency or motivation. Take time to ponder and refamiliarize yourself with your present purpose outside of winning, because without that, you might find that there is no gas in your tank. What's driving you forward? Leo July 23 – August 22 Moving on may benefit you. Feelings of stagnation might loom over your life. Part of their source could be an internal focus on a memory that you can't let go of. It might be that you're struggling to move forward because you wish that you were still in a situation that existed back then, but has since fallen away. While it could be easier said than done, work on focusing on the present and setting aside the past. Your future self will thank you. Virgo August 23 – September 22 Be honest with yourself. You might find yourself experiencing rapid changes or unexpected shifts in your ongoing career or responsibilities, and it's important to be aware of the energy that you're contributing to this situation. If you find that there is ultimately too much on your plate, or if there's more that you could be doing to move yourself ahead, do what you can to reestablish stability in your to-do list. You should end up getting a lot more done that way. Libra September 23 – October 22 Someone in your life may be seeking time with you. You could have felt that this person wasn't as dedicated to your connection in the past, but lately, it likely seems as though they're trying harder to improve your connection. It's not always easy to admit when you aren't showing up for someone in the ways that they need. Still, this person showing that they care with actions might be a strong start to apologizing for any lack of presence. Be open to rebuilding. Scorpio October 23 – November 21 Making changes can accelerate healing. Recovery is not a linear journey, and sometimes you may find literal or metaphorical scars reopening. Instead of becoming discouraged by the false idea that there's no way forward, remind yourself that this is merely a curve in the path to a healed self. Caring about your soul and how you show up for yourself each and every day through routines and loving company are some of the most vital parts of moving on. Surround yourself with quality. Sagittarius November 22 – December 21 There should be a method to your madness. It's not a good time to throw caution to the wind, but there might be someone in your life who is encouraging you to do this very thing. Make a point of listening to your intuition throughout the day, because not everything that sounds wonderful will live up to its reputation. The other person may not be trying to deceive you — maybe they don't realize what they're offering. It's okay to say no to the deal. Capricorn December 22 – January 19 Where you are affects who you are. If you're perpetually surrounded by clutter or bombarded with stressful media, this chaotic energy could radiate into all areas of your life. Start small by reorganizing even just one room or limiting your screen time on a single app. If others object, stand firm — it's not your job to make everyone else comfortable at your own expense. Building a personal sanctuary will be worth it, so be consistent with how you create your surroundings. Aquarius January 20 – February 18 How you speak about yourself impacts your mindset. Even if you are being sarcastic or trying to make people laugh with your observations about yourself, a mental stream of negativity that loops back around to denigrate you is not healthy. You might not have even realized the impact that this manner of speaking is having on your confidence, but the more that you speak such criticisms into existence, the more that you may subconsciously believe them. Don't fool yourself into thinking you're not worthy. Pisces February 19 – March 20 Count to ten before you overspend. You might find that it's difficult to stick to a budget right now, surrounded by many temptations to indulge in and spend a little bit of money on. Even when you're well aware that you need to save for more important matters, immediate gratification could be difficult to overcome in the moment. Practice mindfulness, and look for a way to have a visual reminder of your budget that could snap you out of retail therapy.

An Illinois Family Lost Everything in a House Fire. A Day Later, Their Dad Died from Cancer
The Russo family's home in Poplar Grove, Ill., was destroyed in a house fire John Russo, 49, died from cancer a day later — leaving behind his two children and wife, Carli Russo 'It was so fast-growing, there was nothing they could do,' Carli said of the diseaseAn Illinois family has been left grief-stricken after two tragedies shook their household within just 24 hours. On Tuesday, July 8, the Russo family was forced to evacuate their Poplar Grove home after a fire was discovered at around midnight. Hours later on Wednesday morning, the patriarch of the family, John Russo, died from cancer at age 49, news outlets WIFR and WWNY reported. John — who shared two children, 14-year-old Payton and 10-year-old J.J., with his wife, Carli Russo — had escaped the family's burning home in his wheelchair the day before his death. Having lost everything, the Russo family took shelter at a Rockford hotel. John had been in home hospice care for the past three months before the incident, per the outlets. '[I] slammed the door shut, came running in the house screaming for the kids to get out and got my husband in the wheelchair and was able to get him out and across the street with some help from some neighbors,' Carli recalled of the fire to WIFR. The blaze began in the garage and then engulfed the entire front section of the house, the family told the outlet. Firefighters allegedly said it could be difficult to determine the cause of the fire due to the extensive damage. 'Right now they're telling us it's a complete loss,' Carli said, per WIFR. The house fire came after months of distress for the Russo family. On April 30, John had gone to the emergency room suffering from stomach pains. The visit became the start of multiple hospital appointments before he was eventually diagnosed with small cell lung cancer, according to the outlet. 'It was so fast-growing, there was nothing they could do,' Carli told WIFR. A GoFundMe page was set up by a co-worker amid his treatment for cancer to help the family, as John was the sole provider. 'Outside of work, John's world revolves around his wife and children,' they wrote in the description of the fundraiser. 'Whether he was at a softball game for his daughter, fixing his project car, or lending a hand to a neighbor, John has always been the one people could count on.'

Following his death on July 9, Carli recalled that her husband 'would do anything for anybody,' per WWNY. Her sister-in-law set up a second GoFundMe to help support the family. As of Friday, July 11, the fundraiser has raised over $24,000. 'Carli got her kids (14 and 10) out, along with John and their family dog, safely, minutes before the entire house was engulfed in flames,' the fundraiser description said. 'They lost everything at a time they should be spending with their family. 'We're reaching out to our community, friends, and compassionate strangers for support,' the description continued. 'Every dollar raised will go directly toward helping the Russo family secure temporary housing, replace essential items, and begin the long process of recovery.' Read the original article on People
