Speaker 1 (00:00):
There comes a time once a year when the moon rises
not just to illuminate the nightsky but to mirror our emotional
shadows.
The Sturgeon Moon isn't aboutchaos or cliche.
It's about spiritual inventory.
It's the moment when you lookat your life, your spirit, your
habits and ask what's weighingme down, what still swims in my
(00:22):
emotional waters that I need torelease.
This isn't just a full moon,it's a divine audit and the
truth.
Not everything you've beencarrying was meant to survive
your transformation.
Trigger warning.
This episode explores emotionalhealing, letting go of family
trauma, generational cycles andconfronting truths that may be
(00:45):
uncomfortable.
Listen with self-compassion.
You are not required to healall at once.
You are allowed to pause, cry,grieve and return when you're
ready.
Welcome back to Life Pointswith Rhonda, your sanctuary for
hard truths, soft landings andsacred evolution.
I'm your host, rhonda, and ifyou found your way here today,
(01:08):
trust that you were guided.
This episode is about so muchmore than moonlight.
It's about legacy, energy andthe decisions we've made about
what we're willing to keep andwhat we finally have the courage
to leave behind.
The Sturgeon Moon, named afterthe ancient and bony fish that
swam in August waters forcenturies, reminds us that
(01:30):
survival is not always the sameas alignment.
It's time to stop survivingpain and start creating peace.

Let's get into it.
(02:16):
The Sturgeon Moon, a mirror anda message.
The Sturgeon Moon isn't soft,it's not gentle.
It's not here to whisper youinto peace.
It's here to strip awayillusions.
This moon asks what lies haveyou told yourself to keep the
peace?
What emotional weight have younormalized, because it's all
you've known?
What parts of you are ready torise from the muddy riverbeds of
(02:39):
your own story?
Traditionally, august marked thetime when sturgeon were most
abundant in the Great Lakes.
For Indigenous communities,this was a time of gathering,
preparation and foresight.
Not panic, not hustle, butconscious, communal planning.
And so we honor that origin byasking are we harvesting
(02:59):
anything of value in ouremotional and spiritual lives,
or are we just existing onautopilot.
This moon reminds us thatabundance is not just material.
It is emotional maturity,spiritual clarity and energetic
alignment.
Emotional hoarding why we holdon too long.
Let's talk about the things wehold on to long after their
(03:19):
expiration Friendships rooted inguilt, relationships rooted in
history, but not harmony.
Beliefs we inherited but neverquestioned.
Emotional hoarding is real andthe sturgeon moon doesn't knock
politely.
It breaks open the storagecloset of your spirit and asks
why are you still carrying this?
(03:40):
We tell ourselves that healingmeans making peace with
everything, but sometimeshealing means not making peace
at all.
It means naming betrayal, itmeans acknowledging grief.
It means sitting with thatuncomfortable truth I stayed too
long, I believed too much, Iforgot myself.
Let the moonlight be a lantern,not a spotlight.
(04:01):
This isn't about shame.
It's about clearing energeticspace for what you say you want
Ancestors, dreams and divineinterruption.
During the Sturgeon Moon, theveil begins to thin, not
dramatically like Samhain, butquietly, like a door left
cracked open.
You may dream of ancestors.
You may hear the whisper of aname you haven't spoken in years
(04:24):
.
You may feel pulled to walkbarefoot on grass, poor libation
, or revisit a forgotten prayer.
Don't ignore that pull.
Your ancestors may be trying tospeak, not to haunt you but to
heal you.
This moon brings messages likeyour grief is not your identity.
You are allowed to rest.
(04:44):
It's time to stop bleeding forpeople who would never bandage
you.
If you've lost someone andnever had closure, speak to them
under this moon.
If you feel burdened bygenerational trauma, write a
letter to the one who started itand then to the one who
survived it.
This is a moon for spiritualreclamation, a full moon ritual,
(05:04):
deep release and return to self.
This is not a light, a candleand be cute ritual.
This is deep water work.
You'll need a white candle.
Truth, a bowl of spring water,cleansing Bay leaves or brown
paper, pen, sea salt or Floridawater, your voice.
The ritual.
Set sacred space, turn off alldistractions.
(05:28):
Sit in silence for two to fiveminutes, light your candle and
speak aloud.
I stand before the waters of myown becoming.
I release shame, I release fear, I release any lie I mistook
(05:51):
for identity and speak aloud.
Watch it dissolve.
Wash your hands and face inthat same bowl of water,
symbolic of rebirth.
Seal it by saying I return tomyself, I return to peace, I
return to purpose, sacredboundaries and uncomfortable
truths.
This moon may feel like abreakup.
(06:12):
For some it will be, becausewhen you start choosing yourself
, people accustomed to yourself-abandonment will panic.
They'll guilt, trip you,manipulate you.
Suddenly you're difficult, buthere's the truth.
If being emotionally honestmakes you difficult, then be
difficult.
If protecting your peace makesyou disloyal, then be disloyal
(06:34):
to dysfunction.
Let the moon show you whereyour boundaries have been too
soft.
Let her teach you how to say no, I'm not explaining myself
anymore.
No, I don't owe you access.
No, I'm not sacrificing mymental health so you can be
comfortable.
Moon medicine, herbs, crystalsand colors that heal.
(06:56):
This is a deep soul detox moon,so your spiritual allies should
reflect that.
Herbs, mugwort, dream, psychicclarity, rue Protection,
clearing envy and hexes.
Blue lotus, elevation,ancestral dream work Crystals,
(07:16):
lapis lazuli, truth Throatchakra.
Black, black, obsidian,emotional Protection.
Selenite, cleansing AngelicGuidance.
Colors to wear White ClearingIndigo Intuition, deep Teal or
Water Blue, emotional Depth.
Make a tea, so soak your feet.
(07:37):
Dress in ritual clothing, letyour whole body speak.
I am sacred, Preparing for theharvest a soul inventory.
This full moon is not thefinish line.
It's the final call beforeVirgo's spiritual audit.
Virgo season says let's make itmake sense.
So take the time to ask what amI really ready to receive?
(07:57):
Do I have space in my life forwhat I'm praying, for, what
still lives in my spirit?
That contradicts myaffirmations.
This is the moon that cleans thealtar before the offering.
Don't just speak.
Abundance, make room for it.
The sturgeon moon doesn't riseto show you how beautiful the
sky is.
She rises to show you what'sstill hiding in your depths.
(08:19):
This isn't just a phase, it's aportal.
You don't need to be perfect,you just need to be willing.
Let go, give thanks, reclaimyourself.
