Now that the Pink Moon is a thing of the past, it turns out there's another moon that's peaking on the 23 May, but will be bright and visible as soon as tomorrow.

The Flower Moon, which according to experts will affect each and every sign of the Zodiac, is in other terms, the full moon of May.

Resident astrologer at PEOPLE, Kyle Thomas, dished that the Flower Moon will be a full moon in Sagittarius - which shares the same axis as Air sign Gemini.

He said: "Zodiac signs that are on the same axis or polarity take place six months apart and have the same modality and rule similar themes."

Thomas added: "We are encouraged to pursue adventure, charge into the unknown and learn about how we relate to others and philosophise our place in the cosmos."

As well as bearing the beautiful name of Flower Moon (which is the most commonly used), it has also been referred to as the Planting Moon, and the Milk Moon, and the Hare Moon throughout the years.

BBC Sky at Night reported that: "While it sounds very romantic, [the name] doesn't actually mean the full Moon will look any different compared to other full Moons."

Still, it's enough to get us excited and we can't wait to take it all in.

The Flower Moon will remain bright enough to be visible on the 24 May too.

It is thought that this month's full moon is known as 'The Flower Moon', by most in order to reflect the fact that many flowers bloom in May.

According to Royal Museums Greenwich (RMG), a Flower Moon is one of the largest and brightest full Moons of the year.

If you're lucky enough to catch a glimpse of the beautiful Lunar moment, chances are you'll want to capture a great photo.

RMG suggest: "Choose a location that allows an unobstructed view of the Moon for several hours, and try to set up away from buildings and other sources of light.

"If you want to focus just on the Moon, you'll need a telephoto lens or telescope. These aren't necessary if you're trying for more of a landscape photograph, but just remember that if you want to include specific landmarks or features then you'll need to plan ahead for the best shot.

"Find out when the Moon will rise and set, work out where in the sky you might want it to be, and pick the perfect spot to capture everything together."

It's worth making a note of that one to impress your friends over the next few nights.
