In August, the summer days are winding down. We still feel the hot summer days, but the summer haze is fading away and the cool nights are coming forth. The days are slow in pace. This is the beginning of the hustle and bustle as we prepare for the next season. We are in the midst of the year, yet we still feel the surge of summer still fleshing through our veins. We are preparing for the changes that are ahead this month, and the energy from summer is calming down.
The August Full Moon is a unique time of the year that is reflected in its name and history. In late summer, the August Full Moon is known as the Sturgeon Moon. The name for this moon, like other moons, relates to a creature prominent in this month. The sturgeon is a giant prehistoric freshwater fish that once lived in great numbers in North America’s lakes and rivers. This fish was an important part of the ecosystem and provided food and resources for Native Americans. Their numbers have dwindled and the sturgeon fish are rarely seen. The August moon name is a testimony to the importance of this fish to Native Americans.
The August full moon is also known as the “Full Green Corn,” “Wheat Cut Moon,” “Grain Moon,” “Barley Moon,” “Fruit Moon,” and “Moon When All Things Ripen.” In August, this is the beginning of harvest season and many vegetables and fruits are ready. These moon names relate to the summer transition into fall. This month represents the beginning of change, growth and abundance.
The August Sturgeon Moon is the beginning of the transition point between summer and fall. We are in the midst of the first harvests, and it also reflects this in our day-to-day lives. There are many aspects of our lives that have reached its peak and now we are ready to reap the benefits. All our hard work this year is paying off and we can see the joy and abundance that it has produced.
With the energy and resources we have produced, this is a period where our inner growth and strength can help us with issues we are facing. We may feel emotional and fearful about change. Take some quiet time, look within, and dive deep into what is important. Once we have a clear perspective, this will help us forge fresh paths if needed. Release any worries, doubts and stress. This will help clear and renew the mind and body to help with manifestation and making your goals a reality. The energy this month encourages you to follow your passions and make long-term goals a reality. Look outside the box to solve issues. Embrace change and the abundance that already exists in your life. It is still summer, so we feel the passion and heat of summer. We can also feel the energy starting to wind down as we head into September.
In August, let’s go with the flow like the sturgeon fish making new paths down the river. As we go deep into the depths of ourselves, let us resurface into cooler, calmer waters. When we transition from the heat of summer into cooler weather, let us embrace that life often takes us on unexpected paths. These unexpected paths help us grow with love, purpose, and abundance.
