New Life Moon

From the photographer: “The last full Moon on July 3rd, 2023, was also called Buck Moon, named after the new antlers that emerge from a buck’s forehead around this time of the year. However, full Moons are generally connected to many types of myths. In some cultures, the Moon is also a symbol of hope. Such as the one symbolizing new life coming. In fact, though nobody can be sure of when a baby will be born, some Moon lore suggests that births are more likely to occur 7 days before through 7 days after a full Moon. In fact, many cultures believe that the full Moon’s pull on a woman’s amniotic fluids increases the chances of giving birth at this time.”
