To the top! Others may be sunning at the beach, but while Leo season is heating up your ambitious tenth house through August 22, you’re on a mission to crush your goals. Even if you’re poolside, you’re likely to have your devices out, fielding calls and making moves. 

While it CAN be lonely up there, it’s not likely to be for you, Scorpio. Prepare your perch for a powerful partnership that could rush in right away, thanks to the rare convergence of unstoppable Mars, changemaker Uranus and the purposeful north node this August 1. As this trio communes in Taurus and your seventh house of one-on-one commitments, you could find yourself suddenly joining forces and making it official! 

On August 20, action planet Mars will begin an extended trek through Gemini and your intimate eighth house, staying until March 25, 2023. This seven-month cycle is five times the usual length of Mars’ visit to a sign. Mars happens to be your classical ruler (usurped by Pluto after its 1930 discovery), so you feel its movements acutely. While Mars is in Gemini, you could exponentially increase your power or join forces with a well-connected VIP.

Virgo season brings some lightness to the mix after August 22, heating up your friendship and social activity sector for a month. Now you can get out and mingle instead of being chained to your desk or devices. The people you meet while out and about could open fascinating new doors, especially near the August 27 Virgo new moon. RSVP “yes” and get ready to network!
