The Stag Moon can be seen symbolically as a moment of the year in which our strength can be reborn. Just as the stag’s antlers do, our inner strength can grow from within, according to Bioguia.com.

Is there anything special about looking at it? In the sky, we will not see anything that’s too different from what we’re used to seeing each month. However, in those countries where it is now the hottest month of summer, it is an excellent opportunity to stay outdoors, bathed in moonlight and letting its energy fill us.
