Scorpio (August 2019)

At the start of August, you will be happy to open up to the people closest to you. Sharing your thoughts and feelings with those you trust is something you find quite liberating, so don’t shy away from taking a deep dive into the things that scare you most. With Uranus going into retrograde on August 11th, you will start to question all of the things you’ve come to know over recent months. While you have your own perspective on many things, you’re open to changing your mind about a few of the viewpoints you hold; lucky for you, expressing your ideas in a clear and concise manner is something you’ll do very well at this month.

It turns out that August 18th will be a good time for you to start clearing out some of the trash in your life. This will involve getting rid of those household items that you just don’t have a use for any more as well as distancing yourself from those who seem to bring you nothing but pain and misery. Ridding yourself of the things you’ve grown attached to is never easy but the long run it will allow you to become a better, stronger, happier you. With the sun entering Virgo on August 23rd, you will start to see the benefits of how organising your life will affect your life going forward.

With the summer soon coming to a close, when August starts, you will want to look back over the experiences you’ve been able to enjoy over the recent weeks. While not all of them will have been pleasurable, there’s a lot that can be learned. As Mercury is no longer in retrograde, you will start to find it easier to open up about your emotional state; preferably, this will be with someone you know and trust. If you’re single, on August 11th, you may find that your love life starts to heat up as someone in the distance catches your eye. With that said, you should make sure that you’re in the right headspace if you want to pursue something serious.

There will be all sorts of possibilities regarding what may become of your love life when Uranus enters retrograde. So, if you find that someone you’re dating isn’t the type of person that you usually go for, don’t run away. Chances are, this individual could be just the one you need in your life right about now. Try not to overthink every situation you’re in, let the good times roll and enjoy the moment. Sometimes, it’s okay to leave things up to the universe so that you can see where a particular path may lead.

On August 18th, you should be careful to not be too critical of things regarding a potential love interest. What you may think of as being annoying is simply your lover’s way of showing you that they’re invested in what you have going on. Take things slow and let your relationship evolve naturally. Get to know your partner so there won’t be any misunderstandings as you move further into your relationship. While there may be a lot of sexual energy in the air around this time, don’t rush, there will be plenty of time to explore physical pleasures soon enough. On August 21st, you will be inspired to trust your instincts, so don’t second guess yourself if there’s a decision that must be made in regard to your relationship.

As the sun finds itself in Virgo on August 23rd, you will discover all sorts of ways that will allow you to improve the quality of your love life. Don’t be afraid to ask the older generation for advice if there’s something that you find difficult to get your head around because there’s plenty that you’ll be able to learn from them. If you’re single and not yet ready for something long-term, getting yourself in order will help you prepare for that someone special.

August will bring about plenty of opportunities but you have to be able recognise them when they appear. You will find that when it comes to progressing in your career, leaving your comfort zone is one of the best things that you can do. Throughout August, it will be good for you to explore your independent side when it comes to getting the job done. Even though you’re able to work well within a team, relying on your own capabilities will allow you to grow at a faster rate than ever before. Your most productive time is set to be around August 6th, so make sure that your workspace is clear.

On August 11th, you may come to realise that your competitors aren’t having as much success at you; while it may be tempting to slow things down, now’s the time for you to full steam ahead so that you can put an even greater distance between you and them. Becoming a mentor to the younger people in the company around August 18th will ensure that your company continues to grow as you’ll be able to pass on all of the things that you’ve learned. There isn’t much else exciting going on for the rest of the month, so all you have to do is continue being the guiding light for your team.
