Overview for this Month: Scorpio (All)
August 2024 Monthly Horoscope Overview for Scorpio:
With much of your attention channeled into career matters, worldly affairs, and the outside world as you begin the month, dear Scorpio, you'll need to perform a balancing act in spots. Fortunately, you're up to the task! You might enjoy increased recognition but also some delays. Watching what you say, to a reasonable degree, is wise with Mercury retrograde much of August. While Mercury appears to be moving backward in its orbit, there can be communication issues and delays. Pressures to perform subside as the month progresses, however, even though you remain equally as active.
Your intimate life or passion projects can also be busy with Mars moving through your intimacy sector throughout August. You want to go deep, and you often find yourself entirely absorbed in what you're doing. If you need support, you take action, and if finances need special attention, you're inclined to get on top of matters during this cycle. Certainly, passions rise, which can sometimes lead to clashes or frustrations. To navigate these potential conflicts, it's important to communicate openly and honestly with your partner or team members. Fortunately, you're equally as passionate about doing something about problem areas.
So, despite a rather public theme in August, you're also paying loads of attention to the hidden or deep elements of your life. It's an important process that shouldn't be rushed or undervalued, although some might complain that you're not as "present" in your social life in early August. Venus moving through your social sector from the 4th to the 29th tones this right down as it enhances your appeal and enjoyment of others. Friendships or your popularity can receive a nice boost. You are more willing than usual to accommodate, change, and grow in your interactions.
You're also far less likely to stick with old patterns that are no longer performing. Business income is in better shape, and friends are more supportive. In love, the focus is on equality and positive energy.
After the New Moon on the 4th, there can be new beginnings related to your work, responsibilities, and reputation. But only the next day, Mercury begins its retrograde cycle, and you're looking back. This retrograde lasts from the 5th to the 28th, and you may need to return to an old project or redo and refine something you thought was complete. However, this apparent backtracking can lead to significant refinements and strengthening of critical areas of your life. Waiting for information can be part of the picture. Indeed, you may need to wait for the rewards, but these challenges are opportunities for growth and improvement.
Unusual turns of events can occur during Mercury's retrograde as it keeps life interesting and, at times, somewhat baffling! Again, you have much to learn from and through others, even impersonal connections, and it's often about how you react and respond to the people in your life. Interactions jumpstart your thinking, and through them, you can discover your own desires and objectives.
While there may be delays and obstacles, or even a few unknowns, until the 28th, these experiences can lead to the discovery of better alternative methods. The edits you make now could prove beneficial in the long term. Past friendships may play a more significant role in your life until the 14th, but from that date, retrograde Mercury moves back into your public and professional sector, shifting the focus to public or professional plans and communications. It's important to remind yourself that information is likely incomplete, and this realization can lead to a more open-minded and patient approach.
If there have been underlying issues in your domestic or personal life, the Full Moon on the 19th can bring them to the surface. Any revelations occurring now can push you to make changes that ultimately bring your life back into balance, particularly if you've been putting too much of yourself into your work and responsibilities. This period can be a prompt to lead a more balanced life.
A powerful Jupiter-Saturn square also occurs around the time of this Full Moon, presenting a conflict. The greater joy you experience in your intimate world can clash with responsibilities elsewhere, particularly related to a hobby, heartfelt pursuit, romance, or care of children. This transit highlights the differences in tastes, styles, or attitudes with people close to you, which can feel particularly disruptive. However, whatever emerges at this time can reveal vulnerable areas in your relationships or insecurities within, and recognizing these things can help you begin the work of finding a compromise.
A theme centering around friendship, cooperation, collaboration, and happiness pursuits picks up steam later in August. Indeed, this is an important period for your career, but you're expanding your interests and connecting with others in meaningful ways as the month progresses. It's a good time to embrace some new ideas and technologies.
Transits now stir the desire to round out your life with a stronger focus on friends, dreams, and hopes. You're shifting your focus more noticeably now, and a better balance between work and play is within reach.

Scorpio (Born October 24 to November 2) and Scorpio Ascendant 0 to 10 degrees Scorpio:
August 2024 Scorpio Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
August 2024
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 22nd 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 4th:
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 4th to 29th:
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.
From August 29th 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
Mercury is retrograde from August 5th to 28th:
All Mercury retrograde cycles particularly affect you in terms of communications with friends or groups, as well as intimate communications and shared financial resources, because Mercury rules these areas of your life. It would be wise to be especially clear when it comes to financial transactions and personal communications with friends, or, better yet, take this time to re-budget or rethink your plans instead of taking premature action. Group meetings may be postponed or cancelled, and friends may seem distant or confused.
Occurring in your solar tenth and eleventh houses this time, extra care should be exercised when communicating with friends, superiors, and co-workers. You may find that communications with bosses and co-workers, and other professional matters, can be tricky. Strive to be as clear as possible so that you are not misunderstood when dealing with the public. Put off making career decisions as much as possible for the time being. You may be re-thinking things regarding your life path, but it's best to think rather than act for now, as your judgment may be compromised. It would be wise to be especially clear when it comes to communicating with authority figures, children, and intimate partners during this cycle; or, better yet, take this time to rethink concerns and grievances before talking about them prematurely.
Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage
All month:
Mars continues to energize your solar eighth house. This is a less outwardly assertive or aggressive stage for you as you take the time to process recent events in your life and to develop strategies for going after what you want in the future. You are more observant than active during this cycle, and more strategic and deliberate when you do take action. There may be an increase in sexual appetite now. It's an excellent period for eliminating wasteful activities. Shared finances can come into focus, and you might feel an increased need to take charge of these matters. This could lead to disputes and disagreements if you are not careful or sensitive in your dealings with others.

Scorpio (Born November 3 to 12) and Scorpio Ascendant from 10 to 20 degrees Scorpio:
August 2024 Scorpio Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
August 2024
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, Pleasure
Until August 12th:
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.

It would be wise to be especially clear when it comes to communicating with authority figures during this cycle; or, better yet, take this time to rethink concerns and grievances before talking about them prematurely.
Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage
Until the 4th:
Mars continues to move through your solar seventh house. During this period, strife is possible in your close personal relationships, as a significant other is now mirroring some of your own issues with assertiveness and anger. Attracting aggression in others during this cycle is a clue that there are unresolved issues within that need tending. You might actually seek some form of conflict, whether intentionally or not, in order to deal with these issues. There can be competitiveness in your life now. Any troublesome issues that have been dormant in a relationship are likely to surface, and can now be handled straightforwardly.
From August 4th forward:
Mars energizes your solar eighth house now. Sexuality and intimacy are stimulated under this transit. Negative expression of this energy is the tendency towards ego conflicts concerning jointly held property or money. Conflicts with partners over values or possessions are possible. Occasionally, this transit could bring a crisis or ending of some kind. Something you hear about now might disturb or touch you deeply. You are likely to be more strategic in your actions during this period, as you become aware of the subtleties of human interaction. This is a time when your best course of action is to recognize that you need, or rely on, others for support.

Scorpio (Born November 13 to 22) and Scorpio Ascendant from 20 to 30 degrees Scorpio:
August 2024 Scorpio Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
August 2024
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
Until August 11th:
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.

Indeed, you may need to wait for the rewards, but these challenges are opportunities for growth and improvement.
Unusual turns of events can occur during Mercury's retrograde as it keeps life interesting and, at times, somewhat baffling! Again, you have much to learn from and through others, even impersonal connections, and it's often about how you react and respond to the people in your life. Interactions jumpstart your thinking, and through them, you can discover your own desires and objectives.
While there may be delays and obstacles, or even a few unknowns, until the 28th, these experiences can lead to the discovery of better alternative methods. The edits you make now could prove beneficial in the long term. Past friendships may play a more significant role in your life until the 14th, but from that date, retrograde Mercury moves back into your public and professional sector, shifting the focus to public or professional plans and communications. It's important to remind yourself that information is likely incomplete, and this realization can lead to a more open-minded and patient approach.
If there have been underlying issues in your domestic or personal life, the Full Moon on the 19th can bring them to the surface. Any revelations occurring now can push you to make changes that ultimately bring your life back into balance, particularly if you've been putting too much of yourself into your work and responsibilities. This period can be a prompt to lead a more balanced life.
A powerful Jupiter-Saturn square also occurs around the time of this Full Moon, presenting a conflict. The greater joy you experience in your intimate world can clash with responsibilities elsewhere, particularly related to a hobby, heartfelt pursuit, romance, or care of children. This transit highlights the differences in tastes, styles, or attitudes with people close to you, which can feel particularly disruptive. However, whatever emerges at this time can reveal vulnerable areas in your relationships or insecurities within, and recognizing these things can help you begin the work of finding a compromise.
A theme centering around friendship, cooperation, collaboration, and happiness pursuits picks up steam later in August. Indeed, this is an important period for your career, but you're expanding your interests and connecting with others in meaningful ways as the month progresses. It's a good time to embrace some new ideas and technologies.
Transits now stir the desire to round out your life with a stronger focus on friends, dreams, and hopes. You're shifting your focus more noticeably now, and a better balance between work and play is within reach.

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.
