The first August Full Moon is on August 1st at 11:32 am PDT.

This is known as the Sturgeon Full moon due to the abundance of sturgeons in North America’s lakes and rivers during the summer months. Although an ancient species, sturgeons are now somewhat endangered due to it being a source of caviar. This full moon is also called the Grain Moon or the Barley Moon due to the relationship with the first harvests.

The Moon is in Aquarius and the Sun is in Leo at this time. The Leo Sun brings in a sense of pride and individuality, and a strong enthusiasm which people find inspiring. The Aquarian Moon, on the other hand, is very humanitarian, community-oriented, and also very individualistic. This all can cause us to feel rebellious and more spontaneous. Do check within first to higher guidance.

Also, please note that our Lughnasadh ceremony is on Saturday night, July 29th at 6:00 pm on Facebook Live.

Blessings of this Full Moon and of Lughnasadh to you!
