Scorpio August 2022

August goes down as the month of your legacy. How your professional dreams manifest in the world. And just when you’d decided enough was enough, the new Leo Moon July 28 brings you a new opportunity! I know, I know…It gets lonely and cold in the land of survival and wisdom and history where you live.

Wise old Saturn, ruling your toughest lessons, is in your most personal fourth house ruling beginnings and endings, so be careful what you say on impulse to colleagues / in a professional setting. Particularly after August 4, when speech planet Mercury enters your eleventh house, and everyone’s really hearing you. The full Aquarius Moon August 11 brings a denouement of sorts. It can’t be taken back and will affect your future.

If you haven’t realized it yet, this is a happening time for you. Here’s just a brief line up promising your future goodies in your tenth house. Fame, public recognition and acclaim, your talent acknowledgement, your professional and spiritual legitimacy: all the lessons about you in the world.

In your tenth career house you have: life-saving Sun, brilliant Mercury, self-nurturing Ceres, that friendly new Leo Moon Thursday, July 28, and the same day, July 28, planet of love and beauty Venus enters your career house, spreading her blessings like beautiful flower petals.

All your tenth house rules:

Your public reputation
Your career
Your life path
Claiming your talents
Your ambitions
Professional competition
And often — your MOTHER.

Knowing this will help with trying to decide about jobs and work-lives. Your work and competitive element has been the key stress here. Now that it’s more settled, more acknowledged, you can decide more clearly and rightly.

Also your passion is coming back, and that’s what is most important.

You’ve been dealing with so many dark sides – not only of yourself, but of other people’s – that you had to keep yourself cool to avoid getting burned. Now the dark turns into light, and you are free to feel again.

Congratulations. You swam and climbed and came a long way to be here.

You may be feeling a little cut off from life…but not to worry. Some necessary changes are taking place, most beneath the surface, and you just need some time before you feel like jumping in again with both feet. Take a break — especially from others’ demands. There’s a lot of activity not being made available to your conscious mind.

Don’t worry about all those commitments you generally worry about. You’re on the right track, you need to take your own sweet time right now, and you’ll know when to move forward. Don’t doubt yourself.

This is an exciting time for you as the people in your life continue to change. All this movement has certainly altered your perspective and given you a break from the humdrum. Just don’t repeat your mistakes – making sure you’re being heard. (Or giving up on being heard completely by not saying anything.)

You keep smiling, smiling, smiling… when you feel like screaming. It is a hard, hard time in the world. Concentrate on getting your finances in order and your forward path clear. Do not act hastily or defensively. You will be fine.

At the same time this August you’ve got some exes, it seems, coming out of the bushes from the past. Old love, old memories, old re-call, re-mind, re-minisce, re-member — all to do with the subject of love.

Remember Scorpio Pablo Picasso, born October 25, 1881 – and still considered among the best today – who astutely said: The world today doesn’t make sense, so why should I paint pictures that do?

Part of the problem may be how darned good you’re looking nowadays, and how successful you seem to be. People are envious…

What’s REALLY happening is a kind of Dorian Grey scenario – serenely charismatic on the outside while a rolling ball of fury is gathering on the inside. No matter how tortured or anxious you feel inside, no one would ever know – it’s incredible, isn’t it?

Go ahead and scream! It’ll do you good.

I’m concerned with the health of your soul, and how you’re doing internally. As are your closest intimates. One of whom may wish you to get the hell out of Dodge and join them somewhere else.

Somewhere calmer, where you can relax. And have some much-needed wonderful sex.

So, again, know you are doing well, and stop torturing yourself about moving forward. Open that bottle of genies. Look at that beautiful ocean. Embrace what is going on around you – all without you lifting a finger. Look how nature keeps going without your help – it’s a miracle!

The only serious work for you to do now is to let your fourth house of home and family HEAL. And you can do that inside the home or outside of it.

While you may be feeling at loose ends reading this horoscope, remember the short-term is not everything. It’s the long-term you need to think of – and this will prove to be glorious.

Keep your temper in check (remember to scream into that pillow), and look forward to positive change as August gets underway. You will not be disappointed.

Scorpios survive everything. Plagues, locusts, the flood, you name it. So what’s the use worrying about your health? What’s a pain here or there?

Honors, awards, accolades. That’s where it’s at this month, Scorpio. Public reputation. Your career. Your professional standing. Professional acclaim. Fame. Ambitions. Striving and attainment. Honoring your talent. Honing your skills. What you Will be Known As.

You are concerned about which parts of yourself you show, and which parts you don’t show, in the world.

As you should be.

This means an awful lot of people looking your way, including some superiors whose looks matter – a lot.

Strictly professional. Whomever you are trying to impress will not let you off lightly. You know this by now.

Be prepared, and be ready. The public can and will look over at any time.

You may wish to put love on a back burner with all your career stuff going on. As they say, be careful what – or whom – you wish for.

Client reviews here.

In the mute August afternoon
They trembled to some undertune
Of music in the silver air;
Great pleasure was it to be there
Till green turned duskier and the moon
Coloured the corn-sheaves like gold hair. – August by Algernon Charles Swinburne.
