🐟 Sturgeon Moon
Typically in August · Upcoming: August 17, 2027
Meaning
Named for the lake sturgeon of the Great Lakes and Lake Champlain, most easily caught in this month, this moon favors patience, a longer time horizon, and trusting slow-moving results.
Folklore & Origin
Fishing tribes along the Great Lakes region noted that sturgeon — a fish that can live over a century — were most abundant and easiest to catch in August, giving the moon its name; it has also been called the Green Corn Moon or Grain Moon.
