August 2025 Monthly Horoscope Overview for Scorpio:
You are focusing on your responsibilities, reputation, and life direction in August, dear Scorpio. Your broader goals and ambitions are in the spotlight. Even so, you’re rounding out your life well with rest and refreshing activities this month.
Until the 11th, while Mercury is still retrograde, there can be some rethinking, redoing, and backtracking on projects. While it can be frustrating at times, it’s essential work that helps you make the necessary edits. You’re working towards renewed faith in your goals. Some matters surrounding your reputation or career can be tricky during this stage, and it’s probably best not to encourage any misconceptions with a misplaced comment or premature announcement. There may be ups and downs regarding your goals, but also definite improvements–or at least foreseeable ones.
You may need to return to an old project or redo and refine something you thought was complete. If something’s left hanging, aim to focus on productivity in other areas. Consider that apparent backtracking can lead to the strengthening of things that were once on shaky ground. Thinking about life direction and long-term goals in new ways can be fruitful, leading to significant new insights or plans.
Mars moves into your privacy sector on the 6th–another influence that pulls you within and brings on some feelings of being in limbo. You begin to need extra time for yourself to rest or engage in activities that aid in healing and energy replenishment. It’s also a time for working on motivation levels as you may be putting a particular venture to rest or wrapping up a project, and you now need to reorient yourself.
From the 11th forward, information starts to flow, and there can be a satisfying feeling that you’re getting over a hump, possibly also gaining a better understanding of a relationship.
The Full Moon on the 9th can bring forth revelations about home, family, or personal needs. You may need to manage a family or personal matter if you’ve been too heavily invested in your work or responsibilities to the outside world. Such imbalances can become glaring now, and you recognize the need for improved time and energy management as well as a better work-life balance.
Certainly, there might be times when your duties, health programs, and self-care efforts clash with your increased desire to learn and share. Achieving a better balance can be a challenging and worthwhile goal now. Seek ways to balance your activities and responsibilities — get creative since boredom will not inspire you! While you’re likely to do battle with different goals and conditions, a comfortable balance is within reach.
Venus spends much of the month (until the 25th) in your spirit sector, and you delight in exploring and discovering. This can be a time of social refreshment, and you might turn to others or new ideas for inspiration. You are likely to feel a little bolder about expressing your likes and loves or pursuing your heart’s desire. It can be a time of romantic possibilities with someone offering you an entirely different perspective on life. Intelligence attracts! Alternatively, sharing your ideas with others may lead to greater opportunities. Slight stirrings of restlessness can motivate you to make improvements to your life, such as through a new course of study. It can also be a time of activities that connect you with empowering ideas and experiences.
Especially from the 22nd onward, you require some detoxing from pressured situations and goals, and you’re able to find more time for sharing, connecting, and community. At the same time, you’re taking more time for rest and healing. Smoothing over differences, extending goodwill, or lending an ear are all favored. You’re looking forward.
You might experience conflicting feelings towards a person or project and become touchy in areas where you’ve felt confined or limited, however. Opening your mind to potential disruptions seems the best strategy. Instead of rebelling against what feels like pressure to conform or to fit in, consider more constructive, moderate ways to reduce the tension or express your individuality. This way, you make empowering choices and improvements after the New Moon on the 23rd, which signals a change of mind or a fresh start.
The major key to success right now is being open-minded and embracing forward-looking, progressive thoughts and ideas about how you approach your work, routines, and health and wellness pursuits. At the same time, you’re keeping your feet on the ground. New insights into old problems can be exciting and liberating.
This can be a time of sudden insights and opportunities for emotional renewal or healing that give you a sense of power and self-mastery. It’s a fantastic time to improve your lifestyle and habits. You can better manage your time, and you’re increasingly aware of the need for a balanced approach in your relationships, finances, diet, and habits.

Scorpio (Born October 24 to November 2) and Scorpio Ascendant 0 to 10 degrees Scorpio:
July 2025 Scorpio Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
July 2025
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
Until August 22nd:
The Sun continues to put a spotlight on your solar tenth house. Satisfaction and fulfillment during this cycle come from doing your professional best, shining as a responsible and capable person, and contributing to the world in practical ways. You might have a chance to receive acknowledgement or praise for your work or good character now. Landing support from authority figures is easier at this time. Avoid the pitfalls of pride or arrogance standing in your way of success.
From August 22nd forward:
The Sun lights your solar eleventh house. The Sun illuminates your sector of friends, groups, and dreams coming true this month. It’s a sociable sector of your chart, and that’s exactly how you are feeling–happy, light-hearted, cosmopolitan, and social. Group affiliations capture your attention. Connections can be made now and networking pays off, or at least satisfies. Being part of a community or circle of friends and building your social network is important to you at this time.
This is a rather happy, goal-oriented cycle. A lively agenda is promised, you’re attracting quite a bit of interest, and your energy for making contact with others is high. A stronger sense of community is with you during this cycle. Relationships take on a fun, if impersonal, tone now. Activities with children (especially others’ children) may increase. You are more stimulated by all that is unconventional during this cycle, and your ideas are original and progressive now. This is a time to follow your dreams and ideals, and to plant a seed in the form of a wish for the future.
Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort, Pleasure
Until the 25th:
Venus continues to grace your solar ninth house. During this cycle, your ideals in love are set high. You might become inspired by a loved one now, or someone might awaken a new perspective or way of thinking in you. You could also enjoy a trip, or a new adventure of sorts. In fact, you are attracted to anything that is non-routine and fare best when you are reaching out beyond your usual bounds. You might be attracted to people or even objects that are exotic or different in some way during this cycle. It’s a good period for personal charm and attractiveness in general.
From the 25th forward:
Venus graces your solar tenth house now. During this cycle, you are most charming and well-received on the job. Your responsibility and authority are likeable qualities now, making this a favorable period overall for schmoozing with those in a higher position than you, as well as for negotiations or social activities related to business. Venus is charming, friendly, and affectionate, and her presence in your career and reputation sector brings social opportunities to your career. You are coming across well at work now, and romantic opportunities, or simply more chances to socialize and network, are likely. You are socially ambitious right now, and success may come through your good managerial qualities or some form of artistic talent, or, indirectly through your marriage partner. People who turn your head during this cycle are those who come across as especially competent.
Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation
Mercury is retrograde from July 18th to August 11th:
All Mercury retrograde cycles particularly affect you in terms of communications with friends or groups, as well as intimate communications and shared financial resources, because Mercury rules these areas of your life. It would be wise to be especially clear when it comes to financial transactions and personal communications with friends, or, better yet, take this time to re-budget or rethink your plans instead of taking premature action. Group meetings may be postponed or cancelled, and friends may seem distant or confused.
Occurring in your solar tenth house this time, extra care should be exercised when communicating with the public, superiors, and co-workers. You may find that communications with bosses and co-workers, and concerning professional matters in general, can be tricky during this cycle. Strive to be as clear as possible so that you are not misunderstood when dealing with the public. Put off making definite career decisions as much as possible for the time being. You may be re-thinking matters regarding your life path, which is a good idea, but it’s best to think rather than act for now, as your judgment may be compromised. It would be wise to be especially clear when it comes to communicating with authority figures during this cycle; or, better yet, take this time to rethink concerns and grievances before talking about them prematurely.
From August 11th forward, information unclogs.
Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage
Until the 6th:
Mars continues to activate your solar eleventh house. You take a more direct approach to realizing your dreams now, rather than simply hoping and wishing.
You might find that you have more energy and enthusiasm for spending time with others, but arguments now may be with or on behalf of friends. You can be especially effective at encouraging others now, as well as at leading or organizing a group.
From the 6th forward:
With Mars moving through your solar twelfth house, this is the time to research and reflect upon your goals. It can be a time when past actions catch up with you–and this is not necessarily a bad thing!
It could also be a time when much of your energy is channeled into private matters, or when you prefer that others not observe what you are doing. This is natural–you may just as well do your best work alone for now. Unconscious behavior patterns could influence the way you assert yourself.
Some may experience insomnia during this phase, especially if they are not allowing themselves the chance to recoup and if they are not letting their intuition serve them. Others may enjoy a more active dreaming life (this includes day-dreaming), and, if allowed to run free, the imagination can serve them very well, especially with regards to goals and new concepts.

Scorpio (Born November 3 to 12) and Scorpio Ascendant from 10 to 20 degrees Scorpio:
July 2025 Scorpio Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
July 2025
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
All month:
The Sun illuminates your career and reputation sector. More than any other time of the year, your focus is drawn to your “place” or standing in the outer world, and your reputation. This is the time when you are more interested in, and focused on, accomplishing something important. Your competency is something that you are especially sensitive to during this cycle.
You want to shine! Your vision is practical right now, and you want to see tangible results for your efforts. More contact with authority figures is likely during this period. Recognition is likely to come your way whether you ask for it or not, and the responsibility that comes right along with it! Do what you feel is right, keeping in mind that you are at your most visible during this period in the year.
Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort, Pleasure
Until the 8th:
Venus continues to move through your solar eighth house during this period. You are attracted to the deeper elements of relationships and social interactions now, rather than what you meet on the surface. Mysteries fascinate you and you could be looking for others’ motives for doing and saying what they do. It’s a good time to feel supported by others, whether it’s financially or emotionally. It’s also a strong cycle for discovering your own hidden talents as well as fascinating things about a partner.
From August 8th forward:
Venus graces your solar ninth house during this period. A taste for the exotic takes hold during this cycle. Routine affairs simply don’t seem to satisfy. You receive pleasure from anything that expands your horizons, both physically and mentally. Foreign people and places may particularly appeal now. You tend to be expansive and generous when it comes to love. A love interest who attracts you during this cycle may be somebody who you previously wouldn’t consider attractive, or someone whose cultural background is very different than yours. You have a taste for the exotic and the spirit to match. Public relations work, promotion, and other such endeavors are favored now. It is more about how you express yourself than the specifics of what you are saying that helps sway others to your position. There could be especial rapport with foreigners and with women if you are traveling during this period. You are all the more attractive and charming with this position, which increases your popularity. If a romance were to begin now, it is more likely to be with someone of a different background or educational level, or someone you meet through travel. You have a taste for the exotic now that can show up in many areas of your life–who you are attracted to, what you buy, the kind of art or entertainment you enjoy, and so forth.
Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation

From August 20th forward:
Mercury continues to transit your solar tenth house. Career matters are busy at this time, and there can be plenty of thoughts and/or conversations about your profession, your reputation, or your social standing during this cycle. It’s a good time to analyze your work tasks and to streamline them or improve your skills. There may be increased contact with the public now, or you might experience an increased need to be heard and acknowledged for your intelligence, skills, capabilities, and ideas.
Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage
Until August 22nd:

Scorpio (Born November 13 to 22) and Scorpio Ascendant from 20 to 30 degrees Scorpio:
July 2025 Scorpio Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
July 2025
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
Until August 12th:
The Sun continues to shine its light on your solar ninth house now. This is a cycle in which you seek to expand your experiences and awareness, whether through philosophical thinking, higher education, travel, or simply activities that take you away from your everyday routines. You may feel a little restless if you don’t find ways to explore.
It’s an excellent period for looking at your life from a different perspective–a broader one–whether you initiate this process or you make contact with others who stimulate you to think about your circumstances differently. Your energy is strong, open, and friendly right now, you come across well to others, and you are a little bolder and adventurous than usual.
From August 12th forward:
The Sun illuminates your career and reputation sector. More than any other time of the year, your focus is drawn to your “place” or standing in the outer world, and your reputation. This is the time when you are more interested in, and focused on, accomplishing something important. Your competency is something that you are especially sensitive to during this cycle.

Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort, Pleasure
Until the 16th:
Venus continues to move through your solar eighth house during this period. You are attracted to the deeper elements of relationships and social interactions now, rather than what you meet on the surface. Mysteries fascinate you and you could be looking for others’ motives for doing and saying what they do. It’s a good time to feel supported by others, whether it’s financially or emotionally. It’s also a strong cycle for discovering your own hidden talents as well as fascinating things about a partner.
From August 17th forward:
Venus graces your solar ninth house during this period. A taste for the exotic takes hold during this cycle. Routine affairs simply don’t seem to satisfy. You receive pleasure from anything that expands your horizons, both physically and mentally. Foreign people and places may particularly appeal now.

It would be wise to be especially clear when it comes to financial transactions and personal communications with friends, or, better yet, take this time to re-budget or rethink your plans instead of taking premature action. Group meetings may be postponed or cancelled, and friends may seem distant or confused.
Occurring in your solar ninth house this time, extra care should be exercised regarding travel or education plans. Delays or complications are very possible in these areas. Go over applications carefully before submitting them and make sure you understand instructions clearly. Expressing your opinions now might come across in entirely the wrong way. It would be wise to be especially clear when it comes to communicating with professors and lawyers as well; or take this time to re-examine issues rather than communicating about them prematurely.
From August 11th forward, information unclogs, and these matters move forward.
Until the 27th:
Mercury continues to transit your solar ninth house. During this cycle, you are especially fond of exchanging ideas with others, particularly your personal philosophies. You are inclined to take a broader look at things now, rather than concentrate on the details. You are communicating with more persuasiveness, enthusiasm, and optimism at this time.
From the 28th forward:
Mercury transits your solar tenth house. You are likely thinking a lot about your career and business matters, or your career requires more communication than usual during this cycle. You speak with authority during this period, and you are more accountable than usual for what (and how) you communicate. Your ideas may come into public view now.
Use the power of words to influence authority figures. This is an excellent period for developing career and professional plans or strategies. You may be turned to for advice or for your opinion on important matters. Although approachable and ready to communicate, you are less inclined to chat about frivolous matters now.
You tend to think about your position or standing on a professional level more frequently during this cycle. You are likely doing some multi-tasking regarding career and business matters. Negative use of this influence would be to worry unnecessarily about your reputation and responsibilities.
Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage
All month:
Mars continues to activate your solar eleventh house. You take a more direct approach to realizing your dreams now, rather than simply hoping and wishing.
You might find that you have more energy and enthusiasm for spending time with others, but arguments now may be with or on behalf of friends. You can be especially effective at encouraging others now, as well as at leading or organizing a group.

You begin to need extra time for yourself to rest or engage in activities that aid in healing and energy replenishment. It’s also a time for working on motivation levels as you may be putting a particular venture to rest or wrapping up a project, and you now need to reorient yourself.
From the 11th forward, information starts to flow, and there can be a satisfying feeling that you’re getting over a hump, possibly also gaining a better understanding of a relationship.
The Full Moon on the 9th can bring forth revelations about home, family, or personal needs. You may need to manage a family or personal matter if you’ve been too heavily invested in your work or responsibilities to the outside world. Such imbalances can become glaring now, and you recognize the need for improved time and energy management as well as a better work-life balance.
Certainly, there might be times when your duties, health programs, and self-care efforts clash with your increased desire to learn and share. Achieving a better balance can be a challenging and worthwhile goal now. Seek ways to balance your activities and responsibilities — get creative since boredom will not inspire you! While you’re likely to do battle with different goals and conditions, a comfortable balance is within reach.
Venus spends much of the month (until the 25th) in your spirit sector, and you delight in exploring and discovering. This can be a time of social refreshment, and you might turn to others or new ideas for inspiration. You are likely to feel a little bolder about expressing your likes and loves or pursuing your heart’s desire. It can be a time of romantic possibilities with someone offering you an entirely different perspective on life. Intelligence attracts! Alternatively, sharing your ideas with others may lead to greater opportunities. Slight stirrings of restlessness can motivate you to make improvements to your life, such as through a new course of study. It can also be a time of activities that connect you with empowering ideas and experiences.
Especially from the 22nd onward, you require some detoxing from pressured situations and goals, and you’re able to find more time for sharing, connecting, and community. At the same time, you’re taking more time for rest and healing. Smoothing over differences, extending goodwill, or lending an ear are all favored. You’re looking forward.
You might experience conflicting feelings towards a person or project and become touchy in areas where you’ve felt confined or limited, however. Opening your mind to potential disruptions seems the best strategy. Instead of rebelling against what feels like pressure to conform or to fit in, consider more constructive, moderate ways to reduce the tension or express your individuality. This way, you make empowering choices and improvements after the New Moon on the 23rd, which signals a change of mind or a fresh start.
The major key to success right now is being open-minded and embracing forward-looking, progressive thoughts and ideas about how you approach your work, routines, and health and wellness pursuits. At the same time, you’re keeping your feet on the ground. New insights into old problems can be exciting and liberating.
This can be a time of sudden insights and opportunities for emotional renewal or healing that give you a sense of power and self-mastery. It’s a fantastic time to improve your lifestyle and habits. You can better manage your time, and you’re increasingly aware of the need for a balanced approach in your relationships, finances, diet, and habits.

About Our Monthly Horoscopes:
Our detailed monthly horoscopes are designed to reveal and interpret the current transits of the Sun, Mercury, Venus, and Mars in your solar chart. Because these energies or transits do not unfold neatly into any given calendar month (many transits carry forward from one month to the next), you will find some of the energies continue from the previous month.
For example, the Sun might transit the second house of your solar chart from June 21 to July 22, so that you will find a similar interpretation for this transit in both June and July’s horoscope. This is normal and expected. While new months can hold new energy, transits don’t abruptly change because the calendar month changes.
These monthly horoscopes also include an overview paragraph, as well as other energies specific to the month, such as retrogrades, eclipses, or major outer planet transits.
The horoscopes are divided into three groups or decanates, and the differences between the groups are subtle in parts and large in other parts. For those who prefer a whole sign approach to horoscopes (classic), simply read the first decanate regardless of your birthdate.
