You’re making a list and checking it twice… huh? It’s not Christmas! (But honestly, it’s 2020, so who the f*ck knows). No, you’re just doing your Scorpio thing: Watching, observing, plotting. NBD! You’re feeling extra Scorpionic towards the beginning of the month when, on August 3, the Full Moon in Aquarius creates a dynamic opposition between the Sun (your external truth) and Moon (your emotional inner world). For you, this creates a powerful relationship between your wants and your needs. For instance, you of course want to be successful…but you need support and stability. Fundamentally, this lunation exposes that internal tension you work so hard to ignore: Everything is a trade-off! During this Full Moon, you’ll become strikingly aware of what you need to do to achieve your goals. Is it going to be easy? Of course not. But you wouldn’t want it to be! As much as you may b*tch and moan about your day-to-day challenges, you’ll be the first to admit that a little bit of fight makes everything much more rewarding. Slap on those boxing gloves and get ready to step into the ring!

Next, on August 18, a New Moon in Leo will illuminate your professional sector in a major way. Simply put, Scorpio love, you’re ready to kick ass and take names! By mid-month, you’re all about your hustle, so now you’re en route to make bold, bodacious power moves that support your long-term growth. Don't be afraid to reconnect with those #2020goals—yes, the year turned out to be…um…different…from what you expected, but that doesn’t mean there’s not plenty of room for your achievements! You have a ton to offer, Scorpio darling. Right now, a big risk is going to give you a massive boost of confidence—and that’s just what the cosmic doctor ordered. You already know your worth, so now, it’s just a matter of demanding the proper compen$ation.

Whether you find yourself starting a new job, exploring a new industry, or dusting off your resume, you’ll be compelled to connect with the right kind of people…you know, the ones who can help you get where you need to go! Opportunism aside, darling Scorpio, it’s great to align with people who share your values and aspirations: They just *get* you in a way others can’t! So, when the new astrological season begins on August 22 as the Sun cruises into Virgo, you’re considering how to expand your reach. For the next few weeks, the keywords will be “collaboration,” “teamwork,” and “synastry" ...I know what you’re thinking. You got that whole “lone wolf” vibe going on, but I promise that you’ll appreciate being part of a community. Not only will you go further faster, but you’ll actually have fun along the way. How great is that?!
