10:57 Wrap Up

The Sturgeon Full Moon of August fully embodies the final days of summer and signals the beginning of harvest season. Deep within us, there’s a subtle softening, and we begin to slow down. You’ll notice the days start to feel a bit shorter, and the sunlight has grown a bit weaker and more golden. You may even observe a few fallen yellow leaves.

August’s sweltering lazy summer days inspire dreams of pumpkin spice lattes and sweater weather. We’re beginning to reap the rewards of some of our crops, either literal or metaphorical. However, we need to be patient as we wait for our hard work and creations to fully culminate.

Every full moon has its own name based on the month or the season in which it appears. Creating a name for each full Moon allowed people to reflect on each season and how it affects them AND the natural world. There can be some variation on the Full Moon names due to the origins from whence they came.

Most Full Moon names are English translations of Native American names, others are rooted in Celtic, European (Anglo-Saxon and Germanic), and more recent Neo-Pagan origins. I created a guide to each Full Moon, complete with their meanings and how you can celebrate

The Full Moon of August is named the Sturgeon Moon to symbolize and represent the freshwater fish that were easily caught during this hot summer month in North America. These impressive archaic-looking fish are a gray-green color, and their existence can be traced back over 200 million years!

The dispute moon by the Celtic is to celebrate with the feasts and festivals it's also a time to resolve any disputes between neighbours
