August’s Full Moon Anthem
Dancin’ in the Moonlight
Ah yeah, it’s summer. It’s hot as hadies. It’s, you guessed it, August.
August’s summer full moon with its golden glow, and the air is mixed with mischief. You know exactly the type of nights I’m talkin’ about.
On the radio, “Dancing in the Moonlight” by King Harvest plays, and everyone jumps to their feet to boogie, it doesn’t matter how hot and sticky it is. We all know it. It’s magic that perfectly personifies August’s nights in musical form.
I can picture the moon working a side hustle as a DJ at a roller rink. The Disco Ball is lighting up the rink like the cosmos. “Dancing in the Moonlight” would be track one on the playlist, for sure.
To me, this song isn’t only about dancing. It’s about being lifted above the stress, above the noise, and into that dream-state the full moon is famous for. This song and the full moon’s energy are perfect for celebrating community and connection. It’s soft breezes and open windows.

The August full moon is often called the Sturgeon Moon, which brings a glow of harvest, harmony, and heat. It’s a moon for gathering. For grooving and letting go.

This full moon invites you to move your body, release your worries, and remember the joy of just being.
No pressure. No perfect choreography. Just you, the music, and the moonlight. It’s totally like the best slow dance at the end of a high school mixer. Or a midnight swim at summer camp.
So crank it up. Step outside barefoot. Spin slowly. Laugh loud.
This moon? She wants you to feel good.
And this track? It’s her soundtrack.
Just imagine the cassette tape clicking into place.

If I threw a moonlit garden party for my inner child, what would be on the playlist? On the table? Guest list?
