The Akua Moon is a time for giving thanks to the Akua. Not a good time for planting or fishing. Depending upon your practice of counting the moon, there can be three or four full moons in the Hawaiian Moon Calendar. Akua is one of the four full moons we count in our practice. If it's clear we may see momona nui the fattening one.
