For many cultures, the Sturgeon Moon marks a time of harvest, as crops are plentiful and ready to be gathered.
It’s also a time to prepare your home for the change of seasons, making sure that everything is in order before winter arrives.
It’s like spring cleaning, but for the fall.
Gather wild forage, start some of the harvest with friends and family and have a feast to celebrate the abundance of the harvest. Host a “Fish Fry” and cook up some delicious sturgeon for your guests. Sturgeon Moon is a time of harvest and preparation, a time to celebrate the abundance of the season.
And just like the sturgeon fish, the Sturgeon Moon is a valuable part of our calendar and a reminder of the changing seasons.
Astronomically this is also the time of the Dog Days when weather is warm and humid.
This means a lot of thunder showers and food tends to spoil a lot faster.
Confusingly, Harvest Moon is a name given to either the full moon in August or September because people of different locations had different opinions about in which month approximately their harvest happened.

- Barley Moon
