As the week begins, Scorpio, our planetary Mars shifts out of Virgo and enters Libra for the next six weeks, activating the deepest area of your chart. Your sector of spirituality, healing, and closure will be most influenced by Mars in Libra, making you feel more hermit-like, while also being open to making new connections if they feel right. Uranus, the Planet of Surprise, begins its yearly retrograde phase for the next 5 months this week as well. You may receive information about past relationships this week, particularly since Mercury is retrograde in Virgo. Try not to jump to conclusions, but rather get curious about what these blasts from the past mean. You’re also going to be quite aware of your own evolutionary journey thanks to Mars in Libra. You’re not the same person you were just a month ago. You’re transmuting daily, and at times it may feel exhausting. Integrating plenty of time to simply lay down and be with yourself is a life hack for flowing through this week.
We end the month of August with the Full Moon in the sign of Pisces becoming exact at 9:35 pm EST, on the 30th. You’ll be tapped into this energy as early as the week begins, because this is a Supermoon, and we can feel the effects of Supermoons even more potently in the four days before they strike. This Pisces Supermoon takes place in your area of creative self-expression, fun and romance, inviting you to deepen your relationship to the concept of surrender. Whether that means putting the finishing touches on a creative project, or just softening, letting go and allowing yourself a good time. Acknowledge and celebrate your creative growth. Surrender to the present moment without trying to project yourself or your relationships into the future. You’re defying your inner critic by allowing your creative self-expression and powers of intimacy to shine through. And you’re also defying it by giving into the embodiment of peace and leisure. Whenever life starts to feel too stressful this week, make the conscious decision to take deep breaths, and let yourself play. Dance. Sing. Stretch. Laugh. And let love in.

The North Node in Aries and the South Node in Libra have been settling into your area of work and health routines and your area of unconscious patterns, respectively. This may have felt both motivating and overwhelming for you, Scorpio, because a part of you wants to get your life together (North Node in Aries), and another part of you just wants to hibernate and shut out the entire world (South Node in Libra). You can gain the direction you’re looking for by getting things done without working yourself to exhaustion. Be extra aware of not getting so deep into your work and your health routines that it ends up turning into escapism or isolation. Find balance when you feel you’ve gone to an extreme.
Romantically, this final week of Venus Retrograde may feel more intense than any of the preceding ones, and this is due to the influx of retrograde energy currently permeating your consciousness. It may be more challenging to remain optimistic about love, whether you’re currently in a partnership or navigating your way out of one, and that’s okay. Life’s not always supposed to be optimistic or positive. Venus wants you to accept the shadow sides of love and connection. Sometimes you won’t see eye to eye with someone. Some promises will be broken. Some expectations won’t be met. Illusions will be shattered. The key is to not be in denial about what’s happening in your love life, and to be brave enough to face it head-on. This week, take time to journal or reflect on what you’ve traversed romantically since the start of the year, and the start of the decade. If you’re ready to attract different energy, you have to get clear with yourself first and foremost about what that looks and feels like. You may not have the answers just yet — they’re not likely to arrive until Libra Season starts in a little under a month. But allowing yourself to face these questions and not run from them is the first step to feeling liberated as a lover, friend, and human.
