Moon Name: The Sturgeon Moon

The Energy of the August Full Moon 🌕

This month’s full moon is known as the Sturgeon Moon — a name gifted by Native American tribes who recognised this time as when sturgeon fish were most abundant. Spiritually, the Sturgeon Moon invites resilience, depth, and ancient wisdom to the surface — much like the ancient fish who’ve navigated murky waters for centuries.

Falling under the air sign of Aquarius, this full moon in August offers an energetic shift from the emotional depth of recent months into clarity, detachment, and forward-thinking vision. Aquarius asks us to zoom out, question the status quo, and dream bigger — not just for ourselves, but for our communities.

Dunno about you, but I'm here for it!

Spiritual Meaning: A Moon for Visionaries, Rebels & Dreamers 🌌

The Full Moon in Aquarius is anything but ordinary.

It stirs up themes around:

• Authenticity — Where are you hiding parts of yourself to "fit in"?

• Innovation — What future are you ready to co-create?

• Collective healing — How can you reconnect with others without losing yourself?

• Liberation — What old rules are you ready to break?

You may feel a mix of emotional detachment + mental clarity, which can be a powerful combo for releasing old patterns and choosing something radically new.

Full Moon Rituals & Practices to Align with This Energy

You don’t need anything fancy — just a willingness to pause and reflect. Here are a few grounded practices to help you ride the Sturgeon Moon energy:

1. Do a Release Ritual

Full moons are powerful portals for letting go. Try writing down:

• Habits, beliefs, or fears that feel outdated

• Anything that keeps you playing small

• Thoughts about who you "should" be

Burn the paper safely or tear it up, imagining those patterns dissolving with the light of the moon.

2. Get Weird & Dream Big (YEEW!)

Aquarius energy loves what’s unconventional. Take time to imagine:

• What does your ideal life look like?

• What would you do if no one was watching?

• What cause or collective do you care deeply about?

This moon encourages you to be a little rebellious — break the rules that were never meant for you anyway.

3. Practice Yoga Nidra or Meditation 

This full moon is also a great time to rest your body while activating your inner vision. Our freeYoga Nidra (found in free recources at www.charlieabra.com ) is perfect for this — giving you time to replenish and reset without needing to move an inch.

For the little ones, we’ve just added a Bedtime Meditation for Kids — helping them feel grounded in the idea that they're made of stardust, and that their story truly matters. ( Found within the Mindful Movement Membership )

4. Moon Bathing

If the skies are clear, step outside and let the moonlight touch your skin. This simple act is deeply regulating for the nervous system — especially for women and children — and invites a deeper connection to the natural rhythms around us.

5. Connect with Your Soul Circle

Aquarius is all about community. Whether it's sending a voice note to a friend, joining a moon sista's for a ritual, or simply lighting a candle in shared intention — don’t go it alone. We heal faster, deeper, and more joyfully together.

Affirmations for the Aquarius Full Moon

Repeat these aloud or write them in your journal:

• I release what no longer serves my evolution.

• I am free to be my true self.

• My story matters, and I am part of something bigger.

• Rest is revolutionary, and I choose to pause.

• I trust the unfolding of my path.

Final Thoughts 🌕✨

This full moon is your permission slip to slow down, reflect, release, and open to a version of yourself that’s more real, more awake, and more aligned. Whether you're dreaming under the stars, tucking your kids into bed, or finding 10 quiet minutes to rest — know this:

You, too, are made of the same stuff as the stars.
And this world is better because you’re here.

Love ya heaps n heaps,
