Sturgeon Moon A-Bun-Dance

The Full Moon of August is called the Sturgeon Moon for a very simple reason, the fish are plentiful and biting! The Native Americans used this time of the summer to keep stocking up on food in preparation for Winter. It’s a time of prosperity and celebration! So pay attention to the energy of this Full Moon, it’s a moon that is ripe for big changes and letting go.

Full Moon Mood

Just as the fish are aplenty, so is a spiritual feast available. It is a wonderful time to relax in the heat of the August sun and love yourself as fully as you can and beyond. Embrace the dionysian feast and drink before the work of fall and the harvest come around. The full Sturgeon Moon lights our path in the open streets hopping from dive bar, to restaurant, to jazz club. This moon is a ripe moment for romantics to open their hearts and pour love all around them, and share in an intimate meal with your beloved. This is the Moon of royalty and music, the louder the laughing, the better you’re served. So go out there and celebrate! Celebrate your loved ones, your friends, but most importantly celebrate yourself! This life is yours to enjoy, and there is no better time to start enjoying it than in a time of an abundance moon.
