Scorpio Horoscope August 2026
Mars, your ruler, spends almost all of August in Gemini, your 8th house, having crossed over on 2 August. The 8th covers joint resources, research, inheritance and sudden change, and Mars is not classically at ease there, so careful handling of shared money and a calm response to surprises are wise. It is, though, an excellent placement for investigation and for getting to the bottom of things that have puzzled you.
Later in the month the emphasis lifts toward career. The Sun enters Leo, its own sign and your 10th, on 17 August, a supportive position for recognition, and Mercury follows into your 10th on 22 August. Before that, a total solar eclipse occurs in your 9th on 12 August, the house exalted Jupiter is occupying; keep travel plans, study decisions and dealings with teachers flexible that week. Your 4th has its turn on 28 August with a partial lunar eclipse in Aquarius. Venus enters your 11th on 1 August, debilitated but in a supportive house. Saturn stays retrograde in your 5th throughout.
