Scorpio Monthly Horoscope

Overall Fortune
August invites you to step into your power, Scorpio. The Leo Sun energizes your career sector, urging you to take up space, share your vision, and lead with integrity. But with Venus and Mercury both in retrograde motion during parts of the month, this is not a time to charge forward without review. Emotional patterns from the past may re-emerge, especially around self-doubt or fear of visibility. Use this month to align your goals with your inner transformation. The New Moon brings powerful momentum to rebrand or recommit to your calling.

Career
You’re highly visible now, and your ambition is undeniable. Use this energy wisely: initiate conversations about promotion, take the lead in presentations, and showcase your expertise. However, double-check all communications and deadlines, especially after Mercury retrograde begins. If a leadership opportunity arises, don’t shy away—but make sure you’re not stepping into an outdated version of yourself.

Finance
Career-related expenses may rise this month—whether it’s upgrading tools, launching a personal project, or investing in your appearance. These are worthwhile if they align with long-term plans. Be cautious with speculative investments or offers that sound too good to be true.

Love
Romantic energy is intense but complicated. Venus retrograde could bring past flames or unresolved emotional patterns to the surface. If you’re single, old attraction dynamics may play out in new situations. In committed partnerships, power struggles may arise—this is your chance to work through control issues and rebuild trust.

Health
Your vitality is strong, but your nervous system is sensitive. Career pressure may cause headaches or jaw tension—schedule restorative activities before burnout sets in. Breathwork, yin yoga, or deep-tissue massage can release pent-up energy.
