Thursday 14 July There's a Deer Full Moon, What Is It?


 Last June we were treated to a view of the Full Strawberry Supermoon and parallel planets. In July we will have a supermoon that is no less beautiful, namely Purnama Rusa Super (Full Buck Supermoon).

If the Strawberry Full Moon is a full moon that usually occurs in June, the Deer Full Moon is a full moon that occurs in July. This definition can also be applied to the phases of the new Moon.


Does the full moon mean that the antlers appear on the surface of the moon like a deer?



This name came about because in The Farmer's Almanac, the American farmer's calendar, strawberries are harvested every June while young stags begin to grow antlers in July. This was solely to mark the seasons and animal behavior that arose at certain seasons for the Native Americans.


What makes it special is that the full moon this time coincides with the full supermoon. In fact, this time the Micro New Moon is flanked by two Super Full Moons that occur in two consecutive months.



To note, from June 14 to July 14, there will be the Full Strawberry Supermoon, the New Strawberry Micromoon, and the Full Buck Supermoon.


This phenomenon last occurred in 2004 and 2013 so that this phenomenon occurs every nine years. This phenomenon will occur again in 2031 and 2040.
