Some great info on tomorrow night’s Sturgeon Full Moon from the folks at Goddess Provisions. And fab Sturgeon Moon artwork!
So you say you want a revolution, goddesses?
This Aquarian ♒️ Full Moon on August 15th (8:29 am EST / 05:29am PST) opposes Mars in Leo, setting the stage for us to rise up, fired up to fight for the causes that strike a chord.
Here’s our cosmic download about this full Moon…
The August Full Moon name, the “Sturgeon Moon,” is rooted in the Native American traditions. It was during this time in the wheel of the year that the waters of the great lakes would become abundant with this life-sustaining catch. However, due to overfishing these mighty creatures now face endangerment — another cry for help, asking us to take stock of humanity’s impact on the natural world around us.
Whatever issues plaguing the collective that get you most riled up (and there are plenty to choose from), let the current astrology inspire you to be direct and ACT in the name of freedom for all. Embodied perfectly by the words of Lilla Watson, an Aboriginal elder & activist: “If you have come here to help me you are wasting your time, but if you have come because your liberation is bound up with mine, then let us work together.”
In the midst of our communal revolutions, the Sun is conjunct Venus in Leo. These Venutian vibes ensure some big-hearted boldness to soften the personal moodiness that Mars might be throwing in the mix. This aspect brings relationships and need for connection to the forefront.
So find an outlet that acknowledges both your desire to be seen, with fiery motivation coursing through your veins. If you're not already part of the social activism realm, seek out like-minded change-makers and put this big energy into action instead of letting it spew out sideways.
