Bring a water, yoga mat, pillow and blanket throw. If you’d like to bring crystals to be charged, you can. We will do a group oracle and a ritual as well.

The full Moon names used by The Old Farmer’s Almanac come from a number of places, including Native American, Colonial American, and European sources. Traditionally, each full Moon name was applied to the entire lunar month in which it occurred, not solely to the full Moon.

August’s full Moon was traditionally called the Sturgeon Moon because the giant sturgeon of the Great Lakes and Lake Champlain were most readily caught during this part of summer.

Remember that the sturgeon moon heralds the coming of autumn and the end of summer. Seeds of potential that you planted spiritually or literally in the spring are set to bloom into the harvest. Everything that you prepared during the summer is ready for you to harvest, and the benefits are sweet as fruit.

As you witness the full autumn moon rise, breathe in and out. Recall all the struggles you went through in the past month as you planted the seeds of potential. Every intention you planted and every action you made is about to show its fruits. Sweet are the fruits you’ll harvest, both spiritually and physically.

Ultimately, the spiritual meaning of the sturgeon moon is the claiming of a more fruitful life. When you think about the autumn harvest, what do you think about? Do you think about the sweet fruits that you harvest with others in the fields? How about the fullness of your heart as you spend time with your friends and family?

Enter the autumn season with a grateful heart and with a determination to persevere. That way, you can best reap the sweet beneficial fruits of the sturgeon moon. Let your gumption drive you to take the initiative and make it a great lunar cycle for you and everyone else!
