July 2025's full Moon will loom low and large in UK skies tonight. Nicknamed the Buck Moon, this cosmic event will be one of the lowest-lying full Moon's of the year and the farthest from the Sun.

As Imhof noted, “Low Earth orbit, where the International Space Station sits, is orbiting 450 kilometres above us. The Moon is 1,000 times farther. It may seem easy to imagine travelling there because of the Apollo missions. But, honestly, we have to start from scratch.”
The full moon affects all signs. Expect emotional waves, heaviness, and challenges - but also purpose, responsibility, and focus. Stay patient and approach things with calm and restraint.
