FULL BLUE STURGEON MOON AUG 22 2021

August has only one full moon. ... Seasonal Blue Moons are uncommon, occurring about once every two to three years, according to EarthSky. The last one rose on May 18, 2019, and the next one won't shine until Aug. 19, 2024

Why this weekend's Blue Moon is extra rare (and how to see it)

The Sturgeon Moon

August’s full moon was traditionally called the Sturgeon Moon because the giant sturgeon of the Great Lakes and Lake Champlain were most readily caught during this part of summer.

What Is a Sturgeon?

These prehistoric-looking fish have been traced back to around 136 million years ago and many people call them “living fossils.”

WHAT IS A BLUE MOON?

*** Our (second) full moon thought for January ***
Being human entails contradictions. And opposites. And can sometimes create feelings of not understanding life with all its turmoil. Is this uncertainty a part of it? Is it maybe even necessary in order to remain receptive towards new questions? Do we envision the search for answers as an image of security, which may promise us calmness, but in reality means stagnation? It appears to be complicated. However, the ancient teachings of wisdom encourage us to entrust ourselves to the uncertainty. It surely would be worth a try …
