Deer Moon 2025: What time is it and where to watch it in Spain today?

Astronomy lovers will be able to enjoy the first full moon of summer tonight, Thursday, July 10th: the Stag's Moon . This is a coveted sight that the sky displays only once a year and can be seen from all corners of Spain.

According to various sources, this July full moon is also called the Deer Moon because it coincides with the time of year when male deer in North America grow antlers most rapidly . Some indigenous tribes have their own name: the Cree, located mainly in Canada, know it as the Molt Moon because it is the time when birds shed their feathers, while the Tlingit tribe of the Pacific Northwest refer to it as the Salmon Moon to mark the seasonal migrations of the fish.

The Deer Moon will be located above the constellation of Capricorn , a zodiac sign associated with work. Taking advantage of this, authoritative voices like astrologer Stephanie N. Campos invite us to reflect on the concept of productivity: "Do you measure your worth based on your accomplishments? If so, now is the time to break that habit."

The Stag's Moon will reach its closest position to Earth around 10:30 p.m. (peninsular time) and will be visible from anywhere in Spain . However, it is recommended to be careful with light pollution wherever you decide to view the phenomenon, and autonomous communities such as Catalonia, the Valencian Community, and Galicia will experience cloud cover, according to forecasts.
