August Moon -- Salmon Coming Home Moon
Many names for the August moon are related to the harvest: i.e.. corn moon, harvest moon, barley vegetation, sturgeon moon, and the moon when cherries turn black. It is also known as the dispute moon. In the Northwest, an important part of the harvest is fishing. At this time, the salmon begin to return home, coming full circle in their eternal cycle of migration. It is a time when things come to fruition and a time to take sock of nature's bounty.
