Your August Horoscope for Scorpio

You seem to be thinking ahead to the later part of the year and feeling some enthusiasm for digging in. You may have taken time off in July, and if so, that was a good time for you to have gotten some rest and been rejuvenated.

The new moon in Leo, 6 degrees, occurred on July 28 and will be influential in the days and weeks to come. It will help you in your career. That new moon was shining on your mid-heaven, at the tiptop of your chart, and was supremely beneficial.

This new moon can help you advance in your career and get higher-ups to be responsive. Your star power is strong, so August will be the time to interview for a new job or to ask your boss what it would take to grow within the company. If you are told you need more experience, ask if a switch to a new department could accelerate your learning curve.

This new moon was a peach, for Jupiter was in perfect position to beam golden rays to your prestigious, professional career sector. Jupiter is in Aries and beamed to the transiting Sun and new moon, linking your daily assignments to your lofty tenth house of honors, awards, and achievement. This is clear—the work you are doing now (and have done recently) can easily place you on a fast track to success. You can soon take on greater responsibilities and have a better title. It also is the area of the chart that, when triggered, brings accolades from within your company, the industry you work in, or the world at large.
