Weekly and Monthly Scorpio Horoscopes:
Scorpio Weekly Horoscope
At some point during the Sun’s month long visit to your career sector, he will be confronted by a Full Moon in your home and family sector, putting your work/life balance to the test. The Moon returns to begin Tuesday’s Full Moon on Monday but the danger isn’t from any professional pressure or work/life balance tension this might create and more from how easy this would be to ignore. This is the only challenge the Sun will face and the only work/life balance reminder this month. With Mercury returning to your career sector on Wednesday, just minutes after the Moon leaves, he will be on hand with the intellectually savvy edge needed to work smarter. This is something that won’t be put to the test again but with Mars in your busy work sector for the rest of the year this couldn’t be more important. Fortunately, while Mercury will leave an adventurous part of your chart on Wednesday, Venus will return over the weekend.
Scorpio Monthly Horoscope
The Sun will always spend the first three weeks of August in your career sector but from the moment he returned last month it was clear that this time was different. While the Sun will always turn the solar spotlight onto your career and professional situation, matters and options at this time every year, for the first time in 32 years Mars will be in your work sector throughout that time. This last happened in 1988 and for the same reason. Mars returned to your work sector in July 1988 and didn’t leave until January 1989 and now, 32 years later he is doing it again, not leaving until January 2022. Back then you had Saturn in your income sector and this time you have the South Node there. The Sun will leave your career sector on 23rd August and Mercury is only here from 5th August to 20th August but with Venus returning early next month, while August is a good month across the income, work and career fronts September is destined to be even better. Before the Sun and Mercury leave a New Moon on 19th August could act as a catalyst, especially for new beginnings, across the income, work and career fronts. The Sun and Mercury will both end the month in your friendship sector, where they will not only have the support of all three planets in your communication sector but will be able to support Uranus, after he turns retrograde in your relationship sector on 16th August. The Sun will help set the wheels in motion for a partnership of forces across the income, work and career fronts that will continue after they have gone and will end the month doing the same, this time across the communication, friendship and relationship building fronts. Meanwhile, held back by a retrograde phase Venus will finally return to an adventurous part of your chart on 8th August, where she will then spend the rest of the month. In partnership with Neptune and Chiron in a playful part of your chart, Venus will work to ensure life doesn’t become all work and no play.

Even so, they are still very appreciative of the efforts afforded to their nurturing, with their appreciation re-payed in their efforts towards their own established family.
That being said, a Scorpio’s love and devotion afforded to their own established family is boundless, perhaps at times being excessively so. They can be overly protective, and can have too high expectations for their partner and children.
