It’s the first night of August’s Sturgeon full moon. Join me in my monthly ritual: find your favorite drinking glass, and fill it with a beverage of your choice and toast from your heart. Put all the positive intent you can out in the universe. Toast to living the dream, or dreaming the dream. Toast to family, friends, health, and wellness.
The Full Moon for August is called Sturgeon Moon because Native Americans knew that the giant sturgeon of the Great Lakes and Lake Champlain were most readily caught during this full Moon.
Other names for this Full Moon include ”Full Green Corn Moon,” signaling that the corn was nearly ready for harvest, “Wheat Cut Moon,” “Moon When All Things Ripen,” and ”Blueberry Moon.”
