Two Full Moons will appear this month, marking two of the four supermoons in 2023. A Full Moon occurs at the start and end of the month of August.
This month’s Full Moon, also known as the Sturgeon Moon, will rise on August 1 and peak at 2:32 p.m. Eastern Time (ET) or 8:32 p.m. Central European Time (CET). This Full Moon will be a supermoon as well.
In fact, 2023 will see four supermoons, three of which will occur consecutively this summer: the Buck Moon in July, the Sturgeon Moon in August, and the Blue Moon on August 31!
This lunation’s impact on the Sturgeon Moon will be felt two days before its peak and will last for four days after it has passed.
Many of the names used to describe Full Moons today can be traced back to Native Americans, Colonial Americans, and other traditional North Americans.
The Full Moon on August 1 is known as the Sturgeon Moon because it was easy to catch sturgeons in the Great Lakes and Lake Champlain during this time of year.
This is similar to how the Full Moon in July was dubbed the Buck Moon because it rose around the time when male deer, also known as bucks, had fully grown antlers.
While the August Full Moon, which is also an Aquarius Full Moon, represents the time when the mighty fish are ready to be caught and reeled in, the lunar display energetically indicates that the energy of this air sign will be infused into our lives.
Aquarius and Leo both have connections to the things that are important to us, such as our sense of expression, our life goals, and the way we interact with others, as the eleventh zodiac sign on the wheel and Leo’s polar opposite.
