All About August's Blue Supermoon and What It Means for Your Zodiac Sign

This month's full lunar phase will be a blue moon, simultaneously marking the third of four consecutive supermoons within 2023

What's better than one full moon a month? Two full moons!

Kicking off August's cosmic calendar was the Sturgeon Moon, the first full moon of the month on Aug. 1. Fortunately for lunar lovers, this month will have a second full moon — called a blue moon — which will peak on Aug. 30.

"Usually months have only one full moon, but occasionally a second one sneaks in," according to NASA, This year's in particular will appear at the closest point to Earth, resulting in a super blue moon.

Blue moons are rare occurrences that occur every two and a half years on average. The last blue moon, for example, occurred in October 2020. (That explains the expression "once in a blue moon.")

Despite its title, however, it will not actually look blue. According to Smithsonian Magazine, amateur astronomer James High Pruett "incorrectly interpreted the term in an article he wrote in Sky & Telescope using the meaning we know today."

Want to observe it at its peak Wednesday night? All you'll need to do is step outside, though NASA recommends binoculars if you want to really take in the moon's detail while it is at its closest point.

Like all full moons, the blue moon has energetic and astrologic significance in addition to symbolic meaning. Astrologer Kyle Thomas tells PEOPLE that this year's blue moon is also a full moon in Pisces, resulting in the "water sign's energy to be infused into our lives."

As it signifies the twelfth and final zodiac sign on the wheel and is the polarity of Virgo, Thomas — who is known for his cosmic guidance for celebrities, business executives and prominent influencers — says that both zodiac signs "hold ties" to our physical and mental health, as well as "the physical or spiritual world."

He adds, "This duality grounds us in the practical, while also opening us up to the divine."

To find out what August's blue moon could mean for you based on your zodiac sign, per Thomas' suggestions, read on!

Aries (March 21-April 19)

It's time to emotionally and spiritually relax and recharge, Aries. This full moon has potential to help you "tap into your innate psychic abilities and intuition," says Thomas.

He explains, "If you’re sensing a hunch, you could be on the right path. Write down any dreams or repeated déjà vu that you experience." Thomas suggests "listing to what the universe is telling you."

Prepare to soar in new directions, Cancer! Whether that prompts you to "book a flight" to venture out or "plan a fun vacation" in the coming year, Thomas says this lunation "could propel you to swim into new territory."
