Just when you were trying to really crush it at work, Mercury Retrograde and eclipse season cramped your style with an exhausting blend of typos, miscommunications, and false starts over the past few weeks. Thankfully, the worst is over, and now you can pick up where you left off. The first few weeks of August are all about your hustle, so don’t be afraid to step into your aspirations by making bold moves that support your growth. You have a lot to offer, Scorpio darling. By taking big risks that position you outside of your comfort zone, you’ll continue to strengthen your self-confidence.


The Full Moon in Aquarius basically serves as a celestial “pros and cons” list. During this electric Full Moon in Aquarius, you’ll have a much deeper understanding of what you want to achieve and how you're going to get there, even if it involves sacrifice. You’re beginning to realize that everyone isn’t moving as quickly as you are, but don’t slow down to keep their company. True friends will always support your forward motion.

The truth is, darling Scorpio, that when you say “yes” to exciting opportunities, you’ll end up making new friends who share your values and aspirations. A new astrological season begins on August 23 when the Sun cruises into Virgo’s domain. Virgo is all about logic, rationality, and pragmatism, and for you, this healthy helping of earth energy inspires you to expand your reach. You’re working hard as hell, and by the second half of the month, you’ll be ready to share your accomplishments with the world. The next few weeks are all about collaboration and teamwork, so this is an excellent time to cultivate new bonds. I know you’re into that whole “lone wolf” vibe, but you’ll go further, faster, when you align with people who understand your vision.

Finally, a New Moon in Virgo blankets the sky on August 30, inspiring you to begin a whole new chapter. You’re an extremely loyal person, so it’s not always easy for you to step away from you comfort zone. Let this lunation offer that final, important push. By the beginning of September, you’ll be ready to touch the sky.
