Scorpio Monthly Horoscope

While others drift into late-summer vacation plans, you’re in full-power mode until August 22 as the Sun in Leo heats up your tenth house of ambition and success. This annual four-week visit may not be well timed from a social POV, but for making power moves, it’s optimal! Take advantage of a lighter schedule to make headway on an ambitious project that can boost your status or land you a leadership role. With lucky Jupiter here until next July, you’re really just warming up!

Eclipse season starts August 12 with the Leo total solar (new moon) eclipse, which catalyzes your career luck even more. While eclipses can bring curveballs and sudden events, the solar eclipse is usually the gentler of the two. A new professional or leadership opportunity could arrive out of the blue. This one sets the stage for an intense partial lunar eclipse that will arrive at the August 28 Pisces full moon.

Meanwhile, Mars finishes a lap through Gemini on August 11, activating your eighth house of joint ventures and investments. Look beyond the paycheck for wealth-building opportunities. This once-every-two-years visit from Mars could get you extra motivated around buying property or making a bold foray into a new market.

On August 28, the spotlight beckons when the full moon, a potent lunar eclipse, arrives in Pisces and your fifth house of fame and creativity. Make sure you’re ready when the lights and cameras inevitably find you! But deliver your performance with care. You want to attract the right kind of attention now!
