You're the main character and the moment, Scorpio! The month starts off in Leo season, and you're laser focused on your longterm goals and life direction. Some could experience changes at work—a promotion or raise or maybe you want to shift career directions altogether. There can also be some major shifts in your key relationships, regarding personal goals, or even your living situation.
Do your best to not be your own worst enemy when Mars moves into Libra on August 6. Over the next few weeks, it's easy to give in to your inner people pleaser, leaving you in a lurch. This is not the time to add more to your plate and doing so can undermine your own healing work and sense of stability. Setting boundaries will be key and you're also focused on changing your own habits and patterns that keep you stuck.
Your schedule gets the best of you when Mars in Libra stares down Saturn in Aries on August 8. You might decide to quit a job on a whim or maybe you call out an annoying co-worker. Your responsibilities feel like they're piling up and can feel temporarily overwhelming. You might have to ask for help or say no to someone.
The Full Moon in Aquarius on August 9 shines a light on your private life. Perhaps there is a situation that's evolving at home—maybe you're moving or experiencing a shift in a family dynamic. This energy is also helpful for making peace with the past and moving on for good. Career hiccups begin to clear up once Mercury Retrograde in Leo ends on August 11. You're feeling more confident about which goals you're focused on and have a plan and a vision to get there. Conversations about raises and promotions also pick up steam once again.
On the same day, Venus and Jupiter, the two luckiest planets in the sky, share a kiss. You're learning lucky news and having conversations that make you feel excited and hopeful about what comes next. Maybe someone tells you they love you or maybe you get a book deal! A wish is fulfilled and you're feeling grateful. Meaningful conversations can also take place.
You could receive a compliment from someone unexpected when Mercury in Leo links up with Mars in Libra on August 14. This energy is also productive and can help you put the finishing touches on something you'll be ready to debut soon. You can also squash misunderstandings and get back on the same page as others today.
The Sun enters Virgo on August 22 and you're craving more time with friends. The next few weeks put you in a social and collaborative mood. This is a great time to network, attend events, and brainstorm with others. There's a New Moon in Virgo, on the same day, that brings a new friendship or ally into your world. Someone who believes in you and your dreams could show up with an opportunity.
You're gaining more attention at work when Venus moves into Leo on August 25, but you'll have to face unhealthy bosses or power struggles on August 26 when Venus in Leo sits across from Pluto in Aquarius. The next few weeks brings more accolades and attention your way, so don't shy away from the spotlight!
