As the month wraps up, August also offers a rare black moon on August 23, according to EarthSky . This black moon is the third new moon in a season of four, which occurs about once every 33 months.

This year, the sturgeon moon falls in Aquarius, an air sign and the 11th sign of the zodiac. It's opposite Leo, a fire sign. "This means that both zodiac signs hold ties to our passions, sense of expression, aspirations and how we connect to others whether that is in love or friendship, " Thomas said.
