Scorpio (October 23 – November 21):
You've been weaving the tapestry of your life and discerning what new patterns to create. Inspiration could motivate a new calling or a sense of purpose. As it moves through your tenth house of career, the Leo Sun shines on new opportunities. Follow your joy and let passion be a guide. The Aquarius Full Moon on August 1 allows you to differentiate distraction from mission; be willing to let something go.
Mercury stations retrograde on August 23, and Uranus goes retrograde on August 28. These transits slow things down enough to let you catch your breath. Exercise patience, and keep everything in perspective at the end of the month. It's a reflective time, and you may need more rest than usual. It's also possible that your family could call on you for help.
This month's unpredictable energies might fuel creative responses to life's events. The Leo New Moon on August 16 asks you to set intentions regarding how you want to be known. Try a new wardrobe or change up your brand to experiment with self-expression. You get to choose.
As Mars activates Neptune on August 22, consider a retreat. It's a great time to get away and unplug—a real break. You might find it challenging to focus on details at the end of the month because your brain's right hemisphere - the nonlinear side - is active. The Pisces Full Moon on August 30 amplifies your creative, mystical side. Plan a ritual or sacred experience to soak the energy of this powerful lunation. We have two Full Moons this month, which can be emotionally intense. Take care of your heart and be with people who lift your spirits.
