August hits deep, Scorpio. This month is about paying attention to the energy around you, letting go of fake connections, and standing strong in your truth. You’re a natural at sensing when something’s off—even if nobody says it out loud. The universe is turning up your intuition, and all you have to do is listen to it. Protect your peace, speak your truth, and don’t chase anyone who’s not matching your energy.
School, Goals & Money
You’re not in full-on work mode yet (and honestly, that’s fine), but your focus is slowly coming back online. You may start thinking about back-to-school stuff, college/career ideas, or just what habits you want to fix before the year picks up.
The New Moon on August 4 lands in your career zone (yes, even at 16, this includes your future goals), and it’s giving you a little push to ask: “What do I actually want to do next—and what am I just doing to please other people?”
Mercury goes retrograde on August 7, which could make you feel kind of stuck or second-guessing yourself. Don’t stress. This is the perfect time to reflect, reorganize, and slow down. There’s no need to rush a decision.
Money-wise, watch for unnecessary spending. You might feel the urge to “treat yourself” as a distraction from stress—just check your reasons before hitting “add to cart.”
Scorpio reminder: You don’t need to do it all now. Move in silence. Plan in peace.
❤️ Love, Crushes & Friends
Oof, Scorpio—your heart is doing a lot this month. Whether you’re crushing, healing, or in the “it’s complicated” zone, emotions are rising. You’re craving real connection. No games. No surface-level stuff. Just honesty and loyalty.
If you’re talking to someone, the Full Moon on August 19 could bring some truth to light. You might finally find out how someone feels—or realize they’ve been acting different and it’s time to back off.
In friendships, you may feel more distant from people who used to be close. That’s okay. Everyone grows, and this month is showing you who’s real vs. who’s just convenient.
❤️ Real talk: Don’t chase someone just because they used to feel safe. If the vibe is off, honor that.
Mood & Mental Health
Your mood this month is deep and reflective. You’re doing a lot of emotional processing, whether you realize it or not. Your dreams might feel more intense, and you may find yourself randomly thinking about the past—friendships, ex-crushes, even old mistakes.
But this isn’t about staying stuck. The universe is helping you let go of emotional baggage so you can move forward lighter.
Don’t be afraid to go quiet for a bit if you need to. Sometimes Scorpio needs to retreat and recharge to come back stronger. Just make sure you don’t isolate too much. Even the strongest need support sometimes.
Mood mantra: I honor my emotions, but I don’t let them control me.
Home, Family & Personal Life
Things at home might feel a little tense or distant this month. Maybe someone’s being passive-aggressive, or maybe you just need more space than usual. You’re not wrong for needing time alone—just be honest about it.
If there’s been any conflict at home, try talking about it before it explodes. Mercury retrograde could cause miscommunications, so pick your words with care.
On a positive note, this is a great time to clean out your space, add new energy to your room, or create a small area that’s just for you—whether that’s for journaling, music, or just vibing with your own thoughts.
Scorpio tip: You don’t have to be everyone’s emotional sponge. Set boundaries, even at home.
Health, Energy & Self-Care
You’re probably more emotionally tired than physically tired right now. Even if you’re getting enough sleep, your brain may be working overtime trying to figure everything out. That’s why rest = a must this month.
Self-care for you means:
- Turning off your phone for a bit
- Listening to music that actually heals, not just distracts
- Moving your body in a way that helps you release stress (walks, stretching, dancing alone in your room)
And if your mind feels heavy? Write it down. Don’t carry it all inside.
Self-care truth: Real strength is knowing when to pause, not just when to push.
