The night of July 3rd promises to be unforgettable. As we savor tapas, our gazes turn skyward, where the Blessed Moon envelops us in its mantle of light. This spectacle, interwoven with legends and traditions, reminds us of nature’s grandeur and our place within it.
Celebrate the Celestial Charm of July 3rd
Amidst Tapas and Gazes in the Sky, the Moon Offers an Unforgettable Performance
This moon, which is the second to grace our summer nights—succeeded by its sibling, the famed Strawberry Moon—, wears several names, each evoking different images and emotions.
The moniker we embrace is “Blessed Moon”.
This name conjures a profound reverence, as it is entwined with the survival and sustenance of our ancestors. In times immemorial, our forebears, observing the moon’s cycles, celebrated this phase as it coincided with the corn harvest season, a vital food source that constituted the backbone of their sustenance.
However, the Blessed Moon is not the only designation our satellite earns on this glorious night. Amongst thunder and lightning, it claims the title of “Thunder Moon”. One might think that the outburst of electrical storms, typical in July, is an unexpected occurrence but what could be more fitting than nature’s standing ovation to this prodigious celestial phenomenon?
The Stellar Allure of the Buck Moon
Among Antlers and Planetary Conjunctions, the July Night Dons Magic
The Full Moon in July flirts with a shroud of mystery as it appears under the name “Buck Moon” or “Deer Moon”.
It is during this exact time when deer, these majestic inhabitants of the forests, undergo the growth of new antlers and shed their skins in a natural cycle that seems to dance to the rhythm of our satellite.
As if all these names and their significance were not enough to capture our imaginations, the July Full Moon can be accompanied by a stellar entourage that would outshine the most select of orchestras. If the stars align in our favor, the Moon will be the nucleus of a planetary conjunction whereas Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn will align in a cosmic dance.
Dreaming Under the Blessed Moon
A July Night to Explore, Love and Connect with the Vastness of the Universe and the Beauty of Life
So, as the night breeze caresses our faces and the symphony of crickets envelops us, let our thoughts soar with the Blessed Moon. May this moon, which has been a witness and confidant to past generations, cause us to reflect on the magnitude of nature and our place within it.
On this July night, under the gleam of a moon that has been celebrated and revered throughout history, let us reconnect with our roots and allow gratitude for the beauty of the world to overwhelm us.
As we observe the July Full Moon, let us remember that we are part of a larger, more mysterious cosmic fabric and that each of us carries the legacy of the ancients who once gazed at the sky with the same awe and reverence.
And if you find yourself in the company of loved ones, share with them the legends of the Blessed Moon. Remember that on this night, across the world, thousands of gazes rise to witness this natural miracle.
We are each one of us, leaves of the same tree and the July full moon invites us to remember the unity and beauty of life in its purest splendor.
So, this July 3rd, allow yourself to be enveloped by the magic and mysticism of the Blessed Moon and allow yourself to dream, explore and love with the intensity that only a starry sky and a full moon can inspire.
