Scorpio Horoscope

This week, August 3 to 9

A week with no doors slamming: the Moon travels quietly between chapters. Mars keeps working your house of what is shared, owed and transformed, and that is where your traction is. No personal planet is moving backwards: what you start this week walks in a straight line.

This month, August 2026

The Sun spends the month in Leo, lighting your house of career and reputation: that is the month's stage. On the 12th, the new moon in Leo opens your house of career and reputation: place one small, real beginning there. It is also an eclipse, so let this one be bigger than usual: watch what leaves, and do not chase it. On the 28th, the full moon in Pisces peaks in your house of pleasure, romance and what you create: something ripens there, and seeing it whole is the task. That one is an eclipse as well: the same counsel, one level deeper.

Who Scorpio is

Scorpio runs from October 23 to November 21. Born right on the edge, the exact year decides the sign, and your birth chart says it without guessing.

Scorpio is ruled by Pluto, and Mars in the old books. Its symbol is the scorpion.

The Sun in Scorpio

Your core lives below the waterline: intensity, loyalty that's absolute, and a refusal of the superficial that some mistake for darkness. It's actually a demand for the real.

The Moon in Scorpio

You feel in depths, not degrees, trust is granted rarely and completely. Betrayal is the one weather you don't forecast well.

Scorpio rising

You come across as composed and unreadable, with eyes that are clearly reading everyone else. People confess things to you unprompted.

Who matches Scorpio?

Scorpio trusts easiest with the other water signs, Cancer and Pisces, who do not flinch at depth. Earth banks the water: Virgo and Capricorn offer the loyalty Scorpio actually tests for. The mirror is Taurus, the opposite sign, where Scorpio learns that calm is not the same as hiding something.
