Scorpio Horoscope Today — August 10, 2026

WaterOct 23 — Nov 21Ruling Planet: Pluto

You are no stranger to intensity. You live in the depths, where other people fear to swim. But today, with the Moon in Cancer squaring Saturn in Aries, even you might feel like the water is getting rough. This aspect activates your house of career and public reputation. A professional disappointment, a critical email, a moment of doubt about your path. The Balsamic Moon phase is about release, and what you’re being asked to release is the story you’ve been telling yourself about what success looks like. Maybe the ladder you’ve been climbing is leaning against the wrong wall. Maybe the ambition that’s been driving you isn’t even yours. Saturn retrograde in your tenth house is a powerful time to redefine what you’re working toward.

Pluto is retrograde in your sign, and it’s making beautiful aspects to Venus and Uranus. This is deep, transformative energy that works best when you’re not trying to control it. You might have a sudden realization about a relationship—what you need, what you’ve been settling for, what you’re ready to release. The Pluto-Venus trine is especially potent for healing old wounds around love and self-worth. You don’t have to forgive. You don’t have to forget. But you might be ready to stop letting the past dictate your present. Let yourself feel the shift without needing to name it.

Mercury and Jupiter are both in Leo, your house of career and public life. This is a powerful combination for visibility, for speaking your truth, for being seen. You might be asked to present something, to lead a meeting, to step into a role that scares you a little. Say yes. The Mercury-Uranus sextile gives you quick thinking and original ideas. You’re sharper than usual, and people will notice. Just be careful with the Mercury-Pluto opposition, which can make your words cut deeper than you intend. You don’t have to win every argument. Sometimes silence is the most powerful response.
