Overview for this Month: Scorpio (All)
August 2021 Monthly Horoscope Overview for Scorpio:
August is strong for your confidence, goals, and imagination, dear Scorpio. There's a strong emphasis on your career/public zone, as well as your social sector. Especially after the New Moon on the 8th, you are raring to go professionally and perfectly willing to make a change or fresh start if it means greater success down the road.
Particularly at the beginning of the month, you may be receiving special attention in a public or professional sense, or your communications are particularly impactful. Problem-solving skills are high. New insights into your career or life path can emerge, or there can be a significant clarification or a meaningful realization related to your broader goals. Ideas for new directions can be valuable now.
Still, you're more active socially, or you're more heartily pursuing your happiness goals. You might lead a group or rally for an important cause. As you get excited about new prospects, friendships, or ventures, it's easy for you to get quite fired up about issues close to your heart this month. Your feelings about friends can also be more intense, and you can be anxious to turn over a new leaf, excited about new ideas, and ready to put plans into motion. You're willing to put more energy into personal enjoyment and your social life.
With the Sun at the top of your solar chart to the 22nd, you have greater visibility. As such, this is a time to show off what you can do. It's also a vital time for reminding yourself of long-term plans and the rules of the road. It can be a checkpoint period--consider what you've accomplished and your next steps.
The New Moon on the 8th can usher in a new beginning of sorts on the career front. If you need to rebrand yourself in some way, this can be a time for doing so. Your ideas, particularly business ones, are exceptionally innovative and progressive at this time. It's essential, however, to avoid jumping into something too soon. You develop a more robust taste for expressing yourself freely and spontaneously from the 11th. Until then, you could feel somewhat guarded with your communications.
Despite a relatively strong focus on material or ambitious concerns for at least the first couple of weeks of the month, your social life gets a lot of attention. Social and humanitarian concerns remain prominent themes throughout August. There is natural energy for socializing and connecting. You might share some of your talents or expertise with associates with excellent results. It's a good time for collaborations. The urge to be around people or to soak up ideas and inspiration from others is compelling now.
Alternatively, you have plenty of ideas for pursuing goals that are close to your heart. You're motivated and inspired by new visions of your future, and you can be gathering exciting ideas through your connections to others. Look for friendship and expansion opportunities.
Venus moves into your privacy sector from the 16th forward, pointing to a period of review and reflection with your affections, pleasures, or love relationships. Benefits come from paying more attention to the hidden elements and patterns of your interactions. Love is complicated and private, or it's simply in the background. All of this jibes well with Uranus turning retrograde in your partnership sector on the 19th. This yearly, five-month retrograde cycle prompts some meaningful introspection and examination of your relationship needs.
The Full Moon on the 22nd points to an awakening of emotional awareness. Your need for family or familiar surroundings is active now, and you're in a better position to get to the right balance between your personal and professional lives. You can feel that loved ones have your back, and confidence increases as a result. Similar energies were with you last month. Now, further developments on the domestic front deserve your time and energy. They can serve to help balance your life with so much focus on your responsibilities to the outside world these days.
Some tension between relationships and family life is possible, and you should avoid the tendency to try to please too many people at your own expense, but you have all the tools to get things back on track. The key seems to be to pour more energy into the things working well for you so that you don't fall behind.
August is very often a month for planting "seeds" in the form of ideas, dreams, and hopes. Think in terms of team playing — the most benefits come your way when you recognize your need for friends, a social life, or rewarding activities separate from your closest relationships and duties.

Scorpio (Born October 24 to November 2) and Scorpio Ascendant 0 to 10 degrees Scorpio:
August 2021 Scorpio Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
August 2021
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
Until August 22nd:
The Sun continues to put a spotlight on your solar tenth house. Satisfaction and fulfillment during this cycle come from doing your professional best, shining as a responsible and capable person, and contributing to the world in practical ways. You might have a chance to receive acknowledgement or praise for your work or good character now. Landing support from authority figures is easier at this time. Avoid the pitfalls of pride or arrogance standing in your way of success.
From August 23rd forward:
The Sun lights your solar eleventh house. The Sun illuminates your sector of friends, groups, and dreams coming true this month. It's a sociable sector of your chart, and that's exactly how you are feeling--happy, light-hearted, cosmopolitan, and social. Group affiliations capture your attention. Connections can be made now and networking pays off, or at least satisfies. Being part of a community or circle of friends and building your social network is important to you at this time.
This is a rather happy, goal-oriented cycle. A lively agenda is promised, you're attracting quite a bit of interest, and your energy for making contact with others is high. A stronger sense of community is with you during this cycle. Relationships take on a fun, if impersonal, tone now. Activities with children (especially others' children) may increase. You are more stimulated by all that is unconventional during this cycle, and your ideas are original and progressive now. This is a time to follow your dreams and ideals, and to plant a seed in the form of a wish for the future.
Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort, Pleasure
Until August 15th:
Venus continues to move through your solar eleventh house. This is a strong time for putting your ego aside and lowering your defenses and simply enjoying people. It's a good time for networking and settling disputes if there are differences to iron out with friends. Cooperation comes easily, and warm friendships can be made during this cycle. Personal freedom is especially important to you right now, and you won't enjoy any associations that limit you. It can also be a good time for earnings from business.
From August 16th forward:
Venus is spending some time in "hibernation" in your privacy sector. Now, this doesn't necessarily mean that your love life is stagnant, but that your affection is expressed behind closed doors. Attraction to secrets and whispers characterize this period, although for some, it can also be a time of endings, relationship concerns, and wistfulness. Personal and social contacts may be secretive, and there can be secret love affairs, or at least very private love feelings and longings. Shyness can lead to some loneliness or romantic frustration. However, this can also be a deliciously private and intimate time.
Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation
Until August 11th:
Mercury continues to transit your solar tenth house. Career matters are busy at this time, and there can be plenty of thoughts and/or conversations about your profession, your reputation, or your social standing during this cycle. It's a good time to analyze your work tasks and to streamline them or improve your skills. There may be increased contact with the public now, or you might experience an increased need to be heard and acknowledged for your intelligence, skills, capabilities, and ideas.
From August 11-29:
Mercury is transiting your solar eleventh house. Your mind is bright, alert, and active during this cycle, and you have the ability to come up with unusual and inventive ideas. Sharing your thoughts with others is a prime interest. Others tend to particularly enjoy your conversations during this transit--you are willing to listen as well as add your own thoughts.
As well, your ability to grasp unusual subject matter and to intuitively understand what others are trying to say win you some brownie points! You could also do a lot of thinking and musing about your own happiness and long-term goals.
From August 30th forward:
Your mind is focused on private matters and past issues while Mercury transits the twelfth house of your solar chart. This is a time when you are least likely to speak out of turn or to express yourself freely. You're searching behind the curtain, and examining the past for answers.
This is a good time for research, quiet contemplation, and meditation; but do avoid getting dragged down by issues that have outgrown their worth and purpose. Examining the past in order to improve the future is certainly worthwhile, as long as you don't waste your energy on guilt. Creative endeavors could prosper now, particularly those that draw upon the emotions or that require creative visualization skills, such as poetry, art, acting, and other such activities.
You are likely to require a certain amount of solitude in order to get your thoughts together or to be mentally productive. You are less likely to chat indiscriminately during this transit, and tend to be a little secretive or tight-lipped for the time being. This may be important, in fact, because this position of Mercury is sometimes associated with the uncovering of secrets, so discretion may be in order.
Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage
All month:
Mars continues to activate your solar eleventh house. You take a more direct approach to realizing your dreams now, rather than simply hoping and wishing.
You might find that you have more energy and enthusiasm for spending time with others, but arguments now may be with or on behalf of friends. You can be especially effective at encouraging others now, as well as at leading or organizing a group.

Scorpio (Born November 3 to 12) and Scorpio Ascendant from 10 to 20 degrees Scorpio:
August 2021 Scorpio Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
August 2021
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
All month:
The Sun illuminates your career and reputation sector. More than any other time of the year, your focus is drawn to your "place" or standing in the outer world, and your reputation. This is the time when you are more interested in, and focused on, accomplishing something important. Your competency is something that you are especially sensitive to during this cycle.
You want to shine! Your vision is practical right now, and you want to see tangible results for your efforts. More contact with authority figures is likely during this period. Recognition is likely to come your way whether you ask for it or not, and the responsibility that comes right along with it! Do what you feel is right, keeping in mind that you are at your most visible during this period in the year.
Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort
Until the 24th:
Venus continues to move through your solar eleventh house. This is a strong time for putting your ego aside and lowering your defenses and simply enjoying people. It's a good time for networking and settling disputes if there are differences to iron out with friends. Cooperation comes easily, and warm friendships can be made during this cycle. Personal freedom is especially important to you right now, and you won't enjoy any associations that limit you. It can also be a good time for earnings from business.
From August 24th forward:

Personal and social contacts may be secretive, and there can be secret love affairs, or at least very private love feelings and longings. Shyness can lead to some loneliness or romantic frustration. However, this can also be a deliciously private and intimate time.
Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation
From August 1-17:
Mercury transits your solar tenth house. You are likely thinking a lot about your career and business matters, or your career requires more communication than usual during this cycle. You speak with authority during this period, and you are more accountable than usual for what (and how) you communicate. Your ideas may come into public view now.
Use the power of words to influence authority figures. This is an excellent period for developing career and professional plans or strategies. You may be turned to for advice or for your opinion on important matters. Although approachable and ready to communicate, you are less inclined to chat about frivolous matters now.
You tend to think about your position or standing on a professional level more frequently during this cycle. You are likely doing some multi-tasking regarding career and business matters. Negative use of this influence would be to worry unnecessarily about your reputation and responsibilities.
From August 17th forward:
Mercury is transiting your solar eleventh house. Your mind is bright, alert, and active during this cycle, and you have the ability to come up with unusual and inventive ideas. Sharing your thoughts with others is a prime interest. Others tend to particularly enjoy your conversations during this transit--you are willing to listen as well as add your own thoughts.

Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage
Until August 14th:
Mars continues to energize your solar tenth house now. You bring much energy, enthusiasm, and drive to your career or to directing activities in your life during this cycle. You may be quite competitive during this period, preferring to achieve and accomplish things on your own. This attitude can, in some cases, be seen by others as an instigating or otherwise offensive energy, so be aware of that possibility.
This is a strong time for directly pursuing your goals, and, if you need that extra push or oomph to get a plan going, particularly a professional one, or to assert your desires, then this is the time. You are self-motivated, and your enthusiasm can be harnessed if you so choose.
From August 15th:
Mars is energizing your solar eleventh house now. Group activities and cooperative efforts are the best way to achieve your goals right now. In fact, you have all sorts of ideas about what you want to do. Avoid allowing the ego to attempt to dominate others. You prefer to lead a group rather than follow during this period, and there are certainly ways to do so without stepping on others' toes.
As well, the best way to achieve your goals during this period is to work as a team, or to at least to do some networking. You may have more energy than usual to want to organize projects. Your humanitarian impulse may be stimulated. The role you play for other people in your life becomes the focus. You may feel that your schedule gets overloaded at this time with things to do (usually for others).

Scorpio (Born November 13 to 22) and Scorpio Ascendant from 20 to 30 degrees Scorpio:
August 2021 Scorpio Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
August 2021
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
Until August 12th:
The Sun continues to shine its light on your solar ninth house now. This is a cycle in which you seek to expand your experiences and awareness, whether through philosophical thinking, higher education, travel, or simply activities that take you away from your everyday routines. You may feel a little restless if you don't find ways to explore.
It's an excellent period for looking at your life from a different perspective--a broader one--whether you initiate this process or you make contact with others who stimulate you to think about your circumstances differently. Your energy is strong, open, and friendly right now, you come across well to others, and you are a little bolder and adventurous than usual.
From August 12th forward:
The Sun illuminates your career and reputation sector. More than any other time of the year, your focus is drawn to your "place" or standing in the outer world, and your reputation. This is the time when you are more interested in, and focused on, accomplishing something important. Your competency is something that you are especially sensitive to during this cycle.

Do what you feel is right, keeping in mind that you are at your most visible during this period in the year.
Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort
Until August 7th:
Venus continues to transit your solar tenth house. Relationships with authority figures, superiors, and with the public are in focus during this cycle. It's a strong period for diplomatic relations, although a negative expression of this position could be bending over backwards to please rather than positive, friendly relations. It's a time when being a team player reaps the most rewards, and you may be mixing business with pleasure now. This may be a time when you are especially enjoying your career or position and making the most of it.
From August 7th forward:
Venus graces your solar eleventh house now. Forming harmonious, warm social friendships, possibly related to group activities within a club, can figure now. You may meet someone through such group activities; consequently, your interests will be shared. Whether or not you do, the bottom line is that sharing interests with someone is what makes you happy during this cycle. Venus here enlivens your friendships and group associations with charm and grace. You are more peace-loving than usual and slightly detached on a personal level. If a romance were to begin during this time frame, it would be characterized by a strong feeling of camaraderie, but it could also be rather impersonal and perhaps lacking in depth and intimacy.
Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation
Until August 6th:
Mercury continues to transit your solar ninth house. During this cycle, you are especially fond of exchanging ideas with others, particularly your personal philosophies. You are inclined to take a broader look at things now, rather than concentrate on the details. You are communicating with more persuasiveness, enthusiasm, and optimism at this time.
From August 6-23 forward:
Mercury transits your solar tenth house. You are likely thinking a lot about your career and business matters, or your career requires more communication than usual during this cycle. You speak with authority during this period, and you are more accountable than usual for what (and how) you communicate. Your ideas may come into public view now.
Use the power of words to influence authority figures. This is an excellent period for developing career and professional plans or strategies.

Benefits come from paying more attention to the hidden elements and patterns of your interactions. Love is complicated and private, or it's simply in the background. All of this jibes well with Uranus turning retrograde in your partnership sector on the 19th. This yearly, five-month retrograde cycle prompts some meaningful introspection and examination of your relationship needs.
The Full Moon on the 22nd points to an awakening of emotional awareness. Your need for family or familiar surroundings is active now, and you're in a better position to get to the right balance between your personal and professional lives. You can feel that loved ones have your back, and confidence increases as a result. Similar energies were with you last month. Now, further developments on the domestic front deserve your time and energy. They can serve to help balance your life with so much focus on your responsibilities to the outside world these days.
Some tension between relationships and family life is possible, and you should avoid the tendency to try to please too many people at your own expense, but you have all the tools to get things back on track. The key seems to be to pour more energy into the things working well for you so that you don't fall behind.
August is very often a month for planting "seeds" in the form of ideas, dreams, and hopes. Think in terms of team playing — the most benefits come your way when you recognize your need for friends, a social life, or rewarding activities separate from your closest relationships and duties.

About Our Monthly Horoscopes:
Our detailed monthly horoscopes are designed to reveal and interpret the current transits of the Sun, Mercury, Venus, and Mars in your solar chart. Because these energies or transits do not unfold neatly into any given calendar month (many transits carry forward from one month to the next), you will find some of the energies continue from the previous month. For example, the Sun might transit the second house of your solar chart from June 21 to July 22, so that you will find a similar interpretation for this transit in both June and July’s horoscope. This is normal and expected. While new months can hold new energy, transits don’t abruptly change because the calendar month changes.
These monthly horoscopes also include an overview paragraph, as well as other energies specific to the month, such as retrogrades, eclipses, or major outer planet transits.
The horoscopes are divided into three groups or decanates, and the differences between the groups are subtle in parts and large in other parts. For those who prefer a whole sign approach to horoscopes (classic), simply read the first decanate regardless of your birthdate.
