Sometimes even the moon needs a break from howling and wants to go fishing instead. 🌝
Just like the sturgeon fish, the Sturgeon Moon is a valuable part of our calendar and a reminder of the changing seasons.
For many cultures, the Sturgeon Moon marks a time of harvest (still) as crops are plentiful and ready to be gathered.
It’s also a time to make sure that everything is in order before winter arrives.
It’s like spring cleaning, but in autumn.
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.
The full moon in August is also known as:
Red Moon
Sturgeon Moon
Green Corn Moon
Black Cherries Moon (Assiniboine)
Corn Moon (Algonquin) (Anishinaabe) (Ojibwe) (Old English)
Ricing Moon (Anishinaabe)
Flying Up Moon (Cree)
Fruit Moon (Cherokee)
Moon When All Things Ripen (Dakota) (Sioux)
Mountain Shadows Moon (Tlingit)
Women’s Moon (Choctaw)
Dog Moon
Barley Moon
Green Moon
Herb Moon
Dispute Moon (Celtic)
Grain Moon (Old English)
Harvest Moon (Chinese)
Hunger Moon (S. Africa)
Lightning Moon (Neo Pagan)
Lynx Moon (Old English)
Nikini Poya (Buddhist)
Wyrt Moon (Wicca)
Gather wild forage and start some of the harvest with your friends and family.
Have a feast to celebrate the abundance of the harvest.
You could do a “Fish Fry” and cook up some delicious sturgeon for your guests.
