August Horoscopes

by Henry Seltzer

Scorpio Horoscope (October 23 - November 21)
Fixed Water. Your ruling planets are Mars and Pluto.

You are reaching for a hard peak of success these days, Scorpio, but your accomplishment is not without its soft fuzzy underbelly. In spite of a major achievement orientation, you are more open than ever to the magical possibilities of your situation. You are also very community-minded right now, transforming in the ways that you connect to friends and other groups as you go for the gusto in your social interactions generally. You might almost be accused of being full of yourself if it weren't for your compassionate outreach to the social matrix surrounding you.

As the month begins, you are full of energy and verve, optimistically assessing your chances and going for the big time in your professional life. You are also investigating your innermost psyche in a form of dreamtime that takes you away from the here and now, but largely to good effect. When you can integrate heart and mind, private and public persona, deep internal process and outer achievement, then you've really got something. The Full Moon energy that comes along the following mid-week, on Wednesday, August 9th, supports both poles of your conundrum. You may be tempted to give up on your ideals for inner connection, becoming caught up in the razzle-dazzle, or else find a deeper way to connect to surface glitter and make real gold out of it. The Last Quarter Moon of the 15th signals a testing time, a time of true transformation if you can catch the wave, and a nexus where significant partners in your life might either help or hinder your metamorphosis depending on how you react to their contribution. Sudden moves on your part are likely, leading to specific action in career or partnership matters and for new potentials to open up for you. The New Moon a week later, on Wednesday, August 23rd, represents a fresh start on seeing more clearly where you are headed in all areas. This is a great time to vision new possibilities for yourself. That it's all up to you is just one of the lessons of this climactic period of time. That it's all up to Spirit working itself out in your life might be another.
