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.

August's full moon is known as the sturgeon moon, thanks to the giant fish that were once plentiful this time of the year in the northeastern U.S.

The full moon will come "with a celestial bonus—setting in the early morning sky near a dazzling alignment of Saturn, Venus, and Jupiter."
