Being the first time to help publish the full moon news. I have to say I enjoy learning the history. I’ve followed the full moon for years tracking symptoms. This time I get to put on my nerd hat and love it! August’s full Moon will appear on the afternoon of Monday, August 19, reaching peak illumination at 2:26 P.M. Eastern Time. That evening, look toward the southeast after sunset to catch a glimpse of the Sturgeon Moon rising. And … it’s the first Supermoon of the year, which means that it will appear bigger and brighter than the full Moons we have seen thus far! The name Sturgeon Moon comes from the giant lake sturgeon of the Great Lakes and Lake Champlain; this native freshwater fish was readily caught during this part of summer and an important food staple for Native Americans who lived in the region. At one time the lake sturgeon was quite abundant in late summer, though they are rarer today. The word “sturgeon” means “the stirrer,” which is what this giant fish does when it is looking for food; it stirs up the mud and silt on river and lake bottoms. Notice the pointed snout and whisker-like tactile organs near the mouth. 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.” Females require around 20 years to start reproducing, and they can only reproduce every 4 years. However, they can live up to 150 years! Today, there are about 29 species worldwide, including the lake sturgeon found in the Great Lakes. They have evolved in size from the size of a bass to a monster sturgeon as big as a Volkswagen. The lake sturgeon is quite rare today, due to intense overfishing in the 19th century, pollution, and damage to their habitat. If you are thinking of using the split dosing approach for your WPS, here are the basic instructions: For three days before and three days after the full moon peak, you divide your WPS dose in thirds. Regarding whatever drop count you are at, at this time, take drops at 10:30 am, drops at 3:30 pm, and drops at bedtime as usual. You have to be extremely careful to allow the full two hours between your WPS and your other protocol supplements. You need to be precise with your timing, and return immediately to your regular dosing, after the six-day cycle of the full moon (three days before and the three days after). Someone with a scientific background could explain why this works in detail, but basically it seems that by splitting the WPS, you are interrupting the reproduction cycle of the organism which is accelerated during the full moon phase.
