Mark my words—this full moon will be unlike anything you’ve ever seen. It’s not often that you get to experience two consecutive full moons in the same zodiac sign. Among the other significant 2024 astrological transits, the second full moon in Capricorn—a.k.a. the “Buck Moon”—will be a sight to behold. What can you expect from this monumental full moon in Capricorn, based on your zodiac sign?
Full moons represent different cycles in nature. This particular full moon is hailed as the “Buck Moon”, because bucks shed their antlers and grow new ones around this time of year. Likewise, you may also undergo a period of regeneration and renewal during the Buck Moon. The Buck Moon is like a checkpoint for how much you have transformed throughout the year thus far. Additionally, the symbolism of the Buck Moon could inspire your lunar ritual. Antlers, deer figurines, and even deer bones could be incorporated into your lunar magics.
On July 21, the full moon in Capricorn will glow at 6:17 a.m. ET, which will occur at 29 degrees. Usually, full moons represent the completion of a six-month cycle, but this full moon is extra special. Think back to what happened during the first full moon in Capricorn on June 21, 2024. Whatever came up then will return for a final review during this second full moon in Capricorn. You have a second chance to react differently to the end of a cycle. Choose wisely, so that you don’t regret anything you did or didn’t do between these two full moons.
Not only is the second full moon in Capricorn, but it’s also occurring at 29 degrees, which is a critical degree in astrology. Critical degrees are known as “anaretic degrees”, suggesting that the final degree is a “degree of fate”. The anaretic degree marks the true end of an era, so its energy may feel like running the last mile in a marathon. You know there’s an end in sight, but it will take all of your strength to complete the cycle. There will be an overwhelming sense of urgency to complete, do, or act on something during this lunation.
A polarizing energy will unfold, as the full moon in Capricorn opposes the sun in Cancer. Both heavenly bodies will be at the anaretic degree, so there will be a pressing matter to take care of. You could release your emotional inhibitions. Emotional vulnerability could be your greatest due diligence. There might be a chance to restructure part of your life based on your feelings as well. Regardless, look toward the future instead of the past.
The second full moon in Capricorn rises at 29 degrees, taking place on July 21 at 6:17 a.m. ET.
Embrace the changes as they come, since Mars in Taurus and Uranus in Taurus will harmonize with the full moon in Capricorn. An unexpected plot twist may occur as your cycle comes full circle. Although there’s some unpredictability, you can handle it with grace and tenacity. Your action-oriented mindset will help you appraise each challenge.
Dream big when the full moon in Capricorn dances with Neptune retrograde in Pisces. You can actualize your hopes and wishes without feeling overly fanciful. The foundation for your dreams can be set, allowing it to become a real possibility. It might even be easier to see how your hopes could materialize. However, be realistic about what it may take to make your wishes come true.

Release any so-called friends who feel like a chore.
