The July Full Moon, known as the 'Buck Moon', coincides with Guru Purnima and the Full Moon Day of Waso, celebrated by Hindus, Buddhists, and Jains to honor spiritual teachers. The event marks the start of the rainy season retreat in Myanmar and other Buddhist traditions. The Buck Moon is named for the regrowth of male deer's antlers, symbolizing strength and renewal, and is also called the Thunder Moon due to frequent July thunderstorms. The moon is seen rising through storm clouds in Tehatta, West Bengal, India, on July 29, 2026.
