New moon in your career house this month, Scorpio. The new moon itself occurs on August 20. Before that, the sun will be in your career sign (Leo) and then Venus will be. Time to get creative when thinking about career options.

Sometimes Scorpio as a sign wants things to be black or white when the universe would prefer something entirely different like fire engine red or tartan plaid. Part of your job this month is to start looking for career colors you normally ignore. This can mean things like mixing part-time careers, expanding the range of what you do, tweaking your path, or devising ingenious ways to dodge a bullet. The economy has got a lot of people in a career spot these days, so creativity and flexibility are more important than ever.

If you’re already where you want to be career-wise, use the moon to do a brief ritual of gratitude. Many people are not so blessed.

Finally, there’s a lunar eclipse in the sector that governs your home and family. If you feel it, it would most likely be to say goodbye to something that you no longer need.
