Calling All Rebels: The Sturgeon Full Moon

By Pia Wilson

I love a good full moon. Makes me feel hopeful. In my mind, it always looms large. And beautiful. Ready to listen to my wishes. Our wishes. The Sturgeon Full Moon shines brightest on our skystep on August 9th on the East Coast. In the wee hours of the morning. During the witching hour, at 3:22 AM.

The moon was named after a giant fish that earned itself the nickname of “the stirrer.” Sturgeon fish stir up the mud and silt at the bottoms of the rivers and lakes where they live. It’ll happen to be in Aquarius this moon, and when I think of the rebel sign of Aquarius, “The Stirrer Moon” starts to sound just right.

All the freethinkers will be feeling some kind of way. Electricity in the air. Our internal telegraph machines will beep with messages of cooperation and revolution. New teachings will drop down from the greater consciousness and project onto the movie screens of our minds.

This full moon will have your wishes, just as it’s got mine. Our idealism will get high. And we will find black pearls of wisdom strewn all about our own gardens.

You will be alright. I will be alright. We will be alright. Any uneasiness we may feel can be broadcast to the radio operators turned psychotherapists. Your friendly neighborhood labor organizer might have a good word for you, too.

Either way, we’ll be whispering about the Sturgeon full moon and all the other planetary gossip at Blu Lotus in Montclair, NJ, on Sunday, August 10th at 2 pm. Come on out and let’s stir things up together.
