Scorpio Horoscope for August 2024 ⭐ GotoHoroscope

Dear Scorpios,

In August 2024, the reins are firmly in your hands. While others cling to the fleeting days of summer, you're in full planning mode, laser-focused on success and achieving your goals. Do you already have a strategy and a clear plan? If not, now is the time to develop one. Until August 22, the blazing summer Sun will shine in Leo, energizing your 10th house of professional success. This will heighten your ambition and sense of urgency to get results. The coming three weeks could bring you a long-awaited breakthrough, possibly securing a new position or another career-defining role for you.

Your ambitious goals will receive an early boost this month, thanks to the only new moon in Leo this year. This lunar event kicks off a six-month ascendant cycle for your career, as it activates your professional 10th house. This cosmic push will encourage Scorpios to reflect on your current business reputation. Likely, you've reached a peak in your recent professional development and are now ready for new challenges.

Venus will also be in your corner, helping to establish necessary connections. On August 4, Venus moves into Virgo, influencing your 11th house of strategic alliances. This transit will attract new acquaintances and bolster your network. However, since Venus enters Virgo against the backdrop of the new moon, some Scorpios might experience significant moments in their romantic relationships as well.

Horoscope for the week September 16—22, 2024

However, brace yourself for some turbulence ahead. Starting August 5, Mercury (the planet of communication, trade, technology, and travel) goes retrograde. During this period, which lasts until August 28, your initiatives may encounter chaos, especially in your professional and social spheres. Mercury will move through Virgo until August 14, then shift into Leo, and will return to Virgo at the beginning of September. Until August 14, Mercury’s retrograde will affect your 11th house of teamwork, potentially impacting group dynamics and introducing unexpected changes in your interactions.

From August 14 to 28, Mercury will move in reverse through Leo and your 10th house of career, which could cause tension with colleagues and clients, as well as disruptions within your organization. Exercise caution in all professional matters. Don't rush, especially if you plan to raise the stakes on a critical issue.

Nonetheless, on August 19, your focus will shift back to your personal life. The only full moon this year in the constellation of Aquarius will illuminate your 4th house of family and home, bringing attention to your domestic sphere.
