Not necessarily. The moon orbits the earth once per lunar cycle which is roughly once per month. Each orbit has a point of perigee (closest approach to earth) and apogee (farthest approach to earth). I could be mistaken, but I don't believe there is anything special about the month of August regarding the moon's perigee.
