Scorpio Scorpio
July 30 ~ August 13
Beneath the surface, something sacred is shifting – Scorpio, and you feel it first before it forms. Mars, the planet of action and desire, enters Libra on Aug. 6 – Sept. 21, the preamble before Mars enters your sign. How does one prepare? This Mars transit is a karmic detox for you, Scorpio. You’re being asked to step back, review the past, and relinquish control before Mars enters your sign next and reignites your full power. Balance power with peace. Your natural intensity is still there—but now it’s being tempered by the need for cooperation, grace, and harmony. This can feel frustrating at times, but it also brings growth as you learn the art of influencing without overpowering. This is a time for inner warriorship—fighting for peace within yourself, not the battles outside you.
This offers you a time for reflection and strategizing before pursuing your desires. This is a low-energy, high-insight phase where you will want to avoid burnout, which means minimizing spaces with large crowds—or you will be osmosing everybody’s energy around you. Plan on being more sensitive and susceptible to just about anything flying around in the atmosphere during those weeks. Your sleep and your private space will become priceless.
This will also be an important time to quietly cut cords, set boundaries silently, so you can heal your resentments and unresolved hurts. Surrender all energy that you do not want to drag forward. You have the power to purify. This is subtle shadow work—clearing emotional debris so deeper love can grow. At the same time, Mercury stations direct in Leo on Monday, Aug. 11, up at the top of your chart, giving your professional goals vivid clarity and confidence to pitch ideas, launch projects, or show up publicly. Mercury in Leo speaks from the heart—trust that vulnerability is not weakness—it’s your most magnetic strength right now. This is especially true with Jupiter and Venus in Cancer that merge on Tuesday, Aug. 12. A softening of your Scorpio guard naturally leads to an inner expansion, opening you up to a spiritual dimension of love. You may feel drawn to travel internationally as well—but it may feel just as sweet to stay home where you can travel within. It’s free, it’s safe, and it’s without borders.
“Energy does not wear a mask. It speaks in silence; it moves through feeling. Trust the vibe—it always tells the truth.” ~ The Cosmos
