Welcome to August, Scorpio. This month brings career opportunities, considerations about what family means to you, and, yes, a Mercury retrograde. During July, you rethought your relationship to social media, privacy, and secret-keeping. You adore having secrets and can be trusted to keep your friends'. When they need someone for advice and to confide in, they turn to you.
Someone comes to you for this purpose, to unload a burden, when Venus, the planet of love, moves into your 11th House of Friendship on, or shortly after, Sunday, August 4. However, you might feel too busy to give them the emotional labor they're asking for. This date also marks the start of Mercury retrograde, which, in addition to travel delays and technological mishaps, can leave you feeling frazzled. But that's not all. This date also brings a new moon in your social 10th House, indicating that the upcoming week will bring a coveted work opportunity your way. The problem with being a superb listener is that people always want your time. Find a calm and kind way to implement boundaries to avoid feeling taken for granted and to make sure you have enough time for yourself.
You're already a super intuitive sign. Your psychic powers are in full force, especially regarding a relationship, when Juno, the asteroid of commitment, moves into your heady 12th House on Friday, August 9. Perhaps you're feeling overwhelmed by a friend's emotional needs or unsure of whether you want to move to the next step in your romantic relationship. Work with tarot, keep a dream journal, or meditate for clarity.
Be aware that you might feel a bit anxious on Wednesday, August 14. To start, Mercury retrograde shuffles into your ambitious 10th House, which could lead to temporary delays regarding a professional opportunity. Also, fighter Mars, one of your ruling planets, squares (a stressful aspect) strict Saturn, which leaves you feeling exhausted. Don't stress; just mark this day down in your calendar as a time for rest and relaxation to offset any tension.
When the sky lights up with a bright Aquarius full moon, illuminating your 4th House of Home and Family, on Monday, August 19, you're ruminating on what family means to you. Perhaps you're sure that you don't want kids but, thanks to society's ongoing obsession with the nuclear family, worried that makes you a bad person. Or, maybe the opposite is true. Perhaps you want to be a stay-at-home parent, but the demands of capitalism make that seem frivolous. It's hard to win, as evil narratives can make both options seem selfish. They're not. Use this full moon to be gentle with yourself, and remember that all that matters is what you want.
Over the next few weeks, you're thinking about who shows up for you.
The sun moves into Virgo, kicking off Virgo season, on Thursday, August 22. Over the next few weeks, you're still thinking about who shows up for you and what family means to you. Continuing themes from the full moon, perhaps you're realizing that you love being able to use your time to go out to dinner with friends without the pressure of having a long-term romantic partner or children. Or maybe you're getting exhausted by going out and want to focus on your family at home. There's no wrong answer, Scorpio, but this is a time for reflecting on and then honoring your desires.
Mercury retrograde finally ends in your ambitious 10th House on Wednesday, August 28. Those delays getting in your way should back off a bit. Summer is turning into autumn, and you're enjoying that back-to-school energy. When opulent Venus moves into your psychic 12th House on Thursday, August 29, you receive clarity regarding a financial situation that's been stressing you out. Don't be afraid to use that signature stinger to assert yourself. We'll see you in September.
