August full moon edition 
The Sturgeon Moon is the name given by the Algonquian people for the full moon in August when sturgeon fish were easiest to catch in the Great Lakes.
Sturgeon can live up to 150 years and grow as long as 23 feet. They spend their time at the bottom of lakes, and in August, they rise from the dark depths toward the surface.
As the ancient sturgeon rises, so can older parts of ourselves. These parts may have been hidden for a long time. The Sturgeon Moon encourages us to confront deeply held feelings, suppressed emotions, and old memories that we might not even realize are influencing our daily lives.
Sturgeon have often been mistaken for sea monsters. Too often, we keep parts of ourselves at bay, thinking they are terrifying beasts too big for us to control or manage. In truth, they are often tender, vulnerable parts of us that have been frozen in the past until it’s time to surface and be gently embraced.
