Susan Miller's Scorpio Horoscope for August 2016

You might have expected to sleep through August, but the opposite is true. There is excellent news coming to your career, the best news of 2016, and opportunities will arise towards the end of the month. The new moon will care for you in unexpected ways, leaving you speechless with surprise.

You have lovely August 1st, before the new moon on August 2nd. The Sun will conjunct Saturn on August 1, and because the Sun rules your house of fame and Mars rules your house of money, what you do on August 1 will attract attention, gain recognition from important people, and affect your future income. This is a day when you will feel that your career and leadership position are more secure. On the same day, Venus and Uranus will conjunct, and since Venus is also in your tenth house of fame and achievement and Uranus is in your career house, this close alignment is intended to highlight how great your industry and company are. If you are a freelancer, you will gain a very important new client, someone special.

The following day, August 2, will be a very important day, for it is the best new moon of the year, filled with extraordinary opportunities. Saturn suggests that you do something that has international applications. You'll be working in a spectacular way, and the big guys have noticed. Your work performance this month will be outstanding. Mars is also in an angle to your financial situation, and there are signs that you will get a raise now or sooner rather than later, possibly after the New Moon in Sagittarius in early December. Usually a new moon has a mixture of special elements, a mixture of good and bad, and also includes some bad things, but this new moon on August 2 is simply perfect. This new moon opens a door for you, allowing you to plant seeds that you will reap in the future, perhaps six months from now, but you must act now regardless. Don't go on vacation in August because things will be very exciting.

Let’s say you want to take on more responsibility. In this case, talk to your boss and find out how you can get the right experience to take the next step in your success. Or if you are a freelancer who needs to get business. You can create an advertising or publicity campaign for your product or service, or you can develop a plan to discuss recent achievements you have made. If you need to speak to an expert, you will be able to find many qualified people who can help you and will be within your budget. If you're looking for a new position, there's no better time to start interviewing for new jobs.

At the end of this month, Mercury will go retrograde from August 30th to September 22nd. This means you need to work as fast as possible to finish the tasks at hand. Do not schedule events and important meetings close to August 30th, as there will be resistance at work and you will feel that progress is slow, so try to schedule them before mid-August. Work will be more productive in the first two weeks of August. If you need to buy electronic products, buy them at the beginning of the month, or on the shining day of August 16, because Uranus, representing innovation and high technology, forms a wonderful angle with the Sun, which is suitable for purchasing any digital products.

Mercury retrograde affects everyone equally because Mercury rules all machine parts as well as thinking and judgment. Mercury retrograde brings troubles to all areas. This is also not an ideal time to seek a new position. Even if you get it, things may change later and you may regret not doing it in the first place.

On August 16, a surprising task will fall on you, like a bolt of lightning across the sky, adding color to your entire career. It's an exciting day and you can't go wrong any way you choose. Circle this date in red - you are in demand, you will prove your worth and show everyone that you deserve the best.

The full moon on August 18th is in Aquarius 26°. In the four days before and after, you will be surprised to find that family issues have reached a climax in the midst of your busy work. Once again, Uranus, the planet of surprises, will become active, but fortunately it will be positive news. If you need to move, you will find a place, or you will have moved in by mid-August. You might renovate, tidy up, and repaint. You may want to use the power of Uranus to incorporate high-tech products into your furniture, which is a great idea. You will find that home is a harbor of happiness. The Full Moon brings clarity to dreams and endeavors, allowing you to realize that you need and are able to settle down and feel secure.

This month, your ruling planet, Mars, will return to Sagittarius, so you will enter a brief period of high spending. Mars will be in your second house from August 5 to September 27. From March 5th to the end of June this year, you have already tasted the feeling of Mars in the house of wealth making you spend money like water. This is the second wave. If you're moving or doing renovations, this would explain why you may feel your expenses skyrocketing.

Now we have arrived at two of the most dazzling dates of the year, and it is with great excitement that I bring them to you. First, a little background. Jupiter, the giver of good fortune and gifts, has entered Virgo, lighting up your house of friendship starting in August 2015. Friends have been there for you through thick and thin in the past, and this year you will make special new friends, and among the people you meet, one or two will grow into your closest friends, and your friendship may last for a decade or even a lifetime. If you haven't expanded your circle of friends yet, this month is a good time to make new ones.

If you are considering joining a professional or social club, research the organization before joining, and if you like it, send in an application to join. If you are already a member of the club, you may want to get involved in the running of the club as a staff member, so do what you can to, at the very least, attend the meetings. Or, you might want to get on the ballot to elect your new candidate, or you might join a charity to do fundraising work. Humanitarian work will go well, so if you want to lend a helping hand, do it this month.

A wonderful day for friendship will be August 21-22, when Mercury and Jupiter connect, which happens only once a year. Every year these two planets choose a different place to meet, and this will be the first time they meet in Virgo in 12 years. Virgo rules your eleventh house of friendship, so benefits to you, the people you love, and the people you will meet will flock to you. There may be an unparalleled social event at the weekend. It seems that you will get good news and money will come to you: commission, bonus, or other income such as insurance, venture capital, high-interest bonds, winning the lottery, etc.

You will have your second wonderful day on Saturday, August 27, when majestic Jupiter and fair Venus make their annual meeting, this year in Virgo. August 27th is a magical day that could bring extraordinary social events. It could be a friend's wedding, or your own engagement party, or wedding. It will be a very romantic day, a day tailor-made for you. That day you will be surrounded by friends, and the event will be unusually luxurious and successful because of Jupiter, with charming guests, and everything full of art and elegance.

Venus will move through your friendship house from August 5 to 29, and Venus is in your favor in this position. Please get out the door, dear Scorpio.
