General
Most of the personal planets at the top of the Scorpio horoscope, show that August 2023 is focused on the outside world and finding balance between your career and private life.
Success comes through collaboration, social skills and consensus.
This month is mainly about relationships and career.
Love and Relationship
Retrograde Venus in Leo affects your love life and therefore it is better to take some distance and be patient when making relational decisions such as a marriage proposal, pregnancy or professional partnership. It is also possible that you are waiting for an answer and that may not be forthcoming. Venus retrograde can be the cause of complicated situations. Wait and see.
Give your loved one all your love and attention. Listen to your intuition.
For the single Scorpio, there is a chance to find the love of your life.
The Full Moon in Pisces of August 31, 2023 in the fifth House of Love, Emotions and Self-Expression can strengthen or end a new love connection. A budding romance can take shape. However, it can give the feeling of an unfulfilled desire for something or someone. Perhaps you feel the need to detach yourself from something or someone.
Family and Home
The Full Moon in Aquarius of August 1, 2023 in the House of Family and House shows concrete plans to move or there is an actual move, renovation or there are changes in and around the house to create your own place to be yourself. It is about setting boundaries in a literal and figurative sense, a reunion with family or with the country of origin. This Full Moon is about clearing out the old to make way for the new. A situation at home comes to an end, such as the chance to free yourself from a restrictive family situation or conflict with neighbors or living environment. Do not hide behind chores, but focus on solving urgent emotional problems now.
August 2023 is also a cheerful month of parties and social activities in the family. However, holiday trips with friends and relatives can be disappointing, so look closer to home.
Career
Venus will travel through Leo, your House of Career, until October 9, 2023. On her long journey through Leo, all the spotlights are on you, Scorpio. A favorable period of social opportunities to apply for a job with charm, network, ask a favor, negotiate, or social activities related to business.
Venus is now retrograde, so a good time to return to past goals, career connections, or rethink a previous partnership proposal.
Now prioritize collaboration with colleagues, authorities and management. However, conflicts can also arise that require you to defend your position on how to make a meaningful contribution to your team or even the world at large.
The New Moon in Leo of August 16, 2023 in your House of Career and Destination shows new professional opportunities. Stay strong and confident, even though Venus retrograde brings headwinds and delays during business travel and study abroad.
Finance
Thanks to the influence of the great benefactor Jupiter in Taurus, the income stream for Scorpio remains constant.
Financial success does depend on smart and strategic financial decisions.
August 2023 shows good financial results from speculative activities and investments. Scorpio can also count on financial support from your social network. Don’t hesitate and grab what is offered to you with both hands.
Health
The spiritual and everyday life are intertwined.
Retrograde asteroid Chiron in the 6th House of Work and Health puts the focus on your physical and mental health, Scorpio. Retrograde Chiron is a favorable time to recover, rest and seek comfort from Mother Nature. Setting healthy boundaries is the way to self-esteem, inner strength and well-being.
Asteroid Ceres in Libra will reside in your 12th House of Cosmic Consciousness until September 15, 2023. Asteroid Ceres in Libra offers you inner strength and support. You can subconsciously empower yourself, connect with your intuition, and feel more aligned with your purpose and destiny.
Mars travels through Libra from August 28 to October 12, 2023 and this can be a period of suppressed energy and opposition, either by yourself or others. Behavioral patterns from the past that are still present in your subconscious undermine self-esteem. During this period of less energy you may be irritable or restless and have sleepless nights.
Advice
You should rely on your intuition when making decisions.
Listen carefully to what people tell you and do everything you do with patience.
Take a heavenly sabbatical. Take care of yourself and prevent burnout. Get in touch with the small details. Listen and grow as you learn to love yourself. Listen to what your body, mind and soul needs.
