Happy Sturgeon Full Moon, my Bushwick peeps! Maybe you’re asking, “What the hell is a sturgeon,” and “Should I be scared of all the celestial forces in play today?” And I’m glad you asked because nothing brings yours truly—a solitary witch, angel worshipper, and astrology hobbyist—more joy than explaining what the hell is going on on the skies. (Plus I have the best Bushwick events for the week, so scroll down!)

Sturgeon, dear friends, is a fish and apparently many Native American tribes knew that this time of the year is the best to catch loads of it. Funny, right, how even fish can’t help but surrender when it comes to the influences of the full moon? 

Tonight’s full moon comes with a partial lunar eclipse. We can’t really see the eclipse from Bushwick, but still it’s a good idea to have your crystals, drinking water, and essential oils bathe in the moonlight. Naturally, a full moon can be intense, so don’t make any important decisions today about anything; just surrender, and watch how anything you focus on grows right in front of your eyes. That being said, try to focus on positive stuff!
