The celestial event known as the full sturgeon moon will illuminate the night sky in the United States on Saturday, August 9, 2023, at 3:55 a.m. ET. This full moon is known by several names, from the corn moon and harvest moon to the flying up moon. The Cree translation evokes the moment when young birds are poised to fledge, signaling a season rich with spiritual and astrological portent.
Kyle Thomas, a celebrity astrologer renowned for his cosmic guidance among celebrities, businesses, and online influencers, emphasizes the unique characteristics of this full moon. To counterbalance that heavy emotional current, this year the sturgeon moon is pushing us into airy Aquarian waters. This 11th sign of the zodiac is known for its deep associations to community and social networks. According to Thomas, such a lunar phase can foster the perfect ambiance for manifesting our desires and diving deeper into ourselves.
The Influence of the Sturgeon Moon
Astrology lovers are all too aware that each full moon brings its own vibe. These harmonics are determined by the moon’s position relative to the signs of the zodiac. Having the sturgeon moon in Aquarius this year brings a focus on communication and social connections. According to Thomas, “Air signs are highly communicative, so using words, images and sound can be especially potent.”
This full moon is not only a time of illuminated magic. It encourages you to network with organizations that best fit the things you value most personally. As Thomas clarifies, meeting communities where they are to meet and increase good intentions and desires during this sometimes auspicious lunar period can be vital. He states, “As the full moon ignites within the sky, you could feel like you’ve found that mysterious pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.”
Here’s how the full moon’s energy will impact each zodiac sign individually. Thomas notes that individuals from signs such as Pisces, Gemini, Sagittarius, Scorpio, Leo, Libra, Taurus, Cancer, Capricorn, and Aries may experience its effects uniquely. Like Foong Ming’s sign, each one will meet paths of development and engagement as well, often in surprising and unanticipated ways.
Manifesting Dreams Under the Moonlight
The full moon is often considered a very magical time to manifest. As it comes to fullness and its brightest light, people are asked to really speak forth what they’re looking for, what they want from the universe. Kyle Thomas asserts that “this is the most important lunation for singles to put themselves out there — line up dates and see if they speak to your soul.”
Even for those of us who have significant others, this change has been profound. Remind couples to use this lunar energy to build more intimacy and excitement in their dynamic. “Couples can use this vibe to bring more spice into their relationship and bedroom!” Thomas adds.
Additionally, he points out that due to its placement, this full moon can be especially motivating for people to rethink their homes and residences. “You may be shifting from one location to the next, getting into real estate or deciding to renovate or redecorate,” he states. We hope this victory will create more opportunities to do right by our fellow humans in the future. Many of you might be personally motivated to help protect your loved ones now.
The Financial Opportunities Presented by the Full Moon
Along with personal development and community, the August Sturgeon moon brings money opportunities. Kyle Thomas, our resident Astrologer, says that this lunar phase is prime for making major shifts in your financial landscape. “Either way, money is coming and going out of your accounts at this time,” he explains.
He’s stimulating young people to invest in his program or start new careers. “This is a fabulous moment to invest or look into building your wealth even more. A new raise or job offer could present itself,” he remarks. For anyone looking to earn more money, Thomas recommends finding a side hustle or a new job.
Aquarius helps to inspire out-of-the-box thinking and supports community-driven projects. What better time for people to start being more proactive about their financial wellbeing! Thomas emphasizes the importance of asserting oneself during this transformative period: “You must stand in your power and assert yourself and command your way like you’re royalty.”
