The Old Farmer's Almanac, which began publishing full moon names in the 1930s, says some Native American tribes called July's full moon the "buck moon" because it occurs in early summer, when male deer (bucks) typically begin growing new antlers covered in velvety fur.

July’s full moon is rising in the driven and down-to-business earth sign of Capricorn, making it especially useful for focusing on matters of career, money, or other material goals. If you’re looking to push yourself when it comes to your professional or financial life, you won’t want to sleep on the spiritual meaning of the July 11 full moon.
