Scorpio Horoscope Today — August 5, 2024

WaterOct 23 — Nov 21Ruling Planet: Pluto

You’re standing at the edge of a transformation today, Scorpio, and the New Moon in Leo is the push you didn’t know you needed. This New Moon is in your tenth house of career, public image, and life direction, and it’s asking you to commit to a version of yourself that you’ve only been flirting with. But Mercury is retrograde in your eleventh house of friendships and community, which means the people around you might not understand what you’re trying to become. That’s okay. You don’t need their permission. The Moon is conjunct Mercury and Venus in this New Moon, which amplifies your emotional investment in your professional life. You care deeply about how you’re seen, and that’s not a weakness—it’s a sign that you’re ready to step into a bigger role.

Mars and Jupiter are both in Gemini, in your eighth house of shared resources, intimacy, and transformation. This is a powerful, intense combination that’s driving you to dig deeper, whether that’s into a relationship, a financial situation, or your own psyche. But Mars is squaring Saturn in your fifth house of creativity, romance, and self-expression. This is the tension between wanting to merge and needing to maintain your individuality. You might feel like you’re giving too much in a relationship or that your creative work is being stifled by practical concerns. Saturn is asking you to find a balance between intimacy and independence. Meanwhile, Venus in Virgo is quincunx Neptune in Pisces and Pluto in your sign, Aquarius. This is a deeply transformative configuration that’s activating your tenth and twelfth houses. You might feel like you’re being pulled in two directions—toward public success and private healing. The quincunx asks you to integrate both.
