Scorpio Horoscope for August 2013

This is another in a long series of interesting months for you, Scorpio. The transformational pressure that you have been experiencing lately does not let up, although it changes in form and dimension. You are in the midst of a powerful learning experience that has been spurred on by the recent retrograde of thoughtful Mercury through your higher mind sector, culminating in realizations that take you beyond previous limitations to your evolving worldview. This month is equally strong in bringing you to a new sense of purposeful intention regarding outer world commitments and career priorities, as well as new forms of self-expression generally. The surprising revelations of the early going might force departures from preexisting plans but are also just one further reminder to stay flexible.

As the month begins, you find that a sense of limitation is lifting, that also had its creative and philosophical focus, symbolized at its peak by the grand sextile in Water and Earth signs from the last days of July. In the wake of this transcendent moment, heading into the first weekend of August, you are actually philosophically quite bemused with the profundity of it all; serious Saturn is still activated and sitting on your identity sector, while your co-ruler Mars resides in your very active sector of higher mind activities, so that it is a natural time to be mulling over what has recently transpired in an attempt to gain a better understanding of the events of your life, and also to derive some clue about the further unfolding of these energies for change.

The Mercury Retrograde period of time is only just now fully ending, with the return of Mercury to the Zodiacal territory from whence it began its backward motion at the end of June. This has been for you a weeks-long meditation on the reasons behind the more obvious surface manifestations of your purely physical senses. With Jupiter there in opposition to Pluto as August gets underway, you are passing through an intense moment, should you choose to accept the invitation of the cosmos, of learning and growing your awareness. You might want to note that these sorts of changes within yourself that you have been witnessing will continue through to the fall and beyond, since Uranus and Pluto are continuing their series of exact square aspects for the next several years.

Through all this, Uranus resides in your sector of service to others, and to the surrounding collective, which seminal 20th Century astrologer Dane Rudhyar referred to as "the discipleship to your higher Self." There is a way that soul-purpose continues to manifest through your actions, sometimes in muted and muddled fashion, sometimes more clearly, all along this road on which you currently find yourself. One way to regard your task at this time of your life is to make your steps more conscious.

All through the current month of August there are various triggers for the powerful transformative energy of these two powerhouse outer planets. The action of Uranus is to open up the sense of possibility for new beginnings while that of Pluto is to blast away old structures of thought that stand as barriers to meaningful change. With Saturn so strongly constellated in your sign, and in fading trine to numinous Neptune in your creativity sector, you are also still struggling somewhat with accepting, even as you go beyond them, the inevitability of traditional methods of being and conceptualizing. It is a complex cosmic dance that that surround you now as you make your way forward into a better integration of all your parts.
