Today is the Full Sturgeon Super Moon in Aquarius. Full lunation is at 2:26pm EST. But what does all that mean?
We all know the innate draw of looking at the moon, especially when it’s full and is a bright beacon in the dark, starry sky. Humans, wolves, and the ocean are all affected by the moon in its full phase. We feel its pull, we respond to its luminescence. Seeing light in the dark often inspires hopefulness.
Each full moon has received a nickname throughout the ages, mainly from Native American tribes. Physically, sturgeons (a classification of 29 different fishes) are distinctive and resemble sharks in their characteristics. Spiritually, sturgeons represent longevity, expansion, wisdom & perseverance. They are thought to bring good luck & abundance.
At this time, the moon is in Aquarius, a sign focused on communities & groups (think of a school of fish).
Add to this that Mercury is in retrograde through the end of August. This means we need to pay special and careful attention to our communication skills. Miscommunications and even some surprises (good or bad) will be thrown into the light of the full moon.
Now, while some may not subscribe to the idea of all these energetic factors, there are those who are highly sensitive to not just one of these instances, but the combination of all of them. So if you are feeling strong emotional pulls or particularly weepy lately, you are not alone. We see you. We feel you. We are your kindred spirits ✨
Be sure to be especially gentle, loving, and compassionate with yourself during this full moon. Give yourself a few minutes today or tonight to perform some small ritual that honors you & your energy today. Here are a few things that I do:
1) Write down what you would like to release. Take a pen or pencil and scribble it all out. Throw it right out your front door!
2) Write down someone you’d like to release. Use your non-dominant hand to write the name. Wrap the paper around a toothpick or a popsicle stick or a twig. Burn the wood to release. Bring back the smoke and recycle the energy for what you would like to receive in its place. (This step is important as Mother Nature abhors a vacuum.)
3) Pour some salt into the palm of your hand. Wash for 30 seconds and envision washing the energy from all of your connections that you want to release. Rinse your hands thoroughly and see white light enveloping your hands as your release the old energy.
