With the Summer Olympic Games kicking off Friday, July 26 in Paris, excitement is at an all-time high, whether it's for new faces, returning favorites or just the chance to perhaps see Celine Dion and Lady Gaga duet at the Opening Ceremony.

And it's not just a constellation of incredible athletes lighting up the City of Light: The full Buck Moon made a majestic appearance behind the spectacular illuminated Olympic rings suspended from one of Paris' most iconic landmarks, the Eiffel Tower.

Astrologer Valerie Mesa said that there is significance behind the celestial spectacle. "Fittingly, the 2024 Summer Olympics kick off on the heels of a soaring full moon in Capricorn, a resilient zodiac sign that also happens to epitomize the meaning of hard work and dedication in the pursuit of success."
