The Sturgeon Moon is the traditional name for the full moon in August. It gets its name from Native American traditions, particularly the Algonquin peoples, because this was the time of year when lake sturgeon were most easily caught in the Great Lakes and Lake Champlain. The sturgeon is one of the oldest fish species on Earth, symbolising resilience, longevity, wisdom, and survival.

In many modern spiritual practices, the Sturgeon Moon has become associated with themes of:

• 🌕 Abundance – recognising the harvest of your efforts and opening yourself to receive.

• 🌾 Gratitude – giving thanks for what has grown in your life.

• 💛 Strength & Resilience – like the ancient sturgeon, trusting your inner wisdom through life's currents.

• 🌊 Flow & Trust – allowing life to unfold without forcing outcomes.

• 🌟 Manifestation – setting intentions for prosperity, success, and personal fulfilment.

• 🍂 Preparation for Autumn – reflecting on what you wish to complete before the season turns inward.
