Sturgeon Moon

August's full moon, is known as Sturgeon Moon (Algonquin). It's the time of year when the sturgeon rise to the surface from the deep dark bottom of the lake. 

 

This moon is linked to endurance, ancient wisdom, quiet power, and connecting to deeper emotions long hidden under the surface. 

 

Now is the time to face old memories and deeply held feelings and emotions. Hold these more tender and vulnerable parts of you with gentleness as they bubble up and rise to the surface.  

 

It's a great time to :

🔥 Inquire about the past

🔥 Greet the lurking inner darkness with kindness and compassion.

🔥 Embrace breakthroughs

🔥 Rewrite the rules 

🔥 Set stronger boundaries

🔥 Speak your truth with confidence

🔥 Ditch old ideas and expectations

🔥 Create space for new ideas and connections. 

🔥 Take the time to realign with your inner light

It is August, the hottest month, so remember to take a break and rest so you don't exhaust yourself in the heat. 

Most importantly, trust your intuition, honor your journey, and trust the process.
