Scorpio Weekly Career Horoscope

Week beginning Monday 17th August

After last week's eclipsing New Moon in your career sector and Mercury's return with a chance to get your head in the game, things have dialled back this week, while at the same time giving you a better sense of control. Helping with that is a friendly aspect between Mercury here and Saturn in your work sector that will peak on Tuesday. This is a coming together of Mercury's smart and practical influence when it comes to the here and now or the short term and Saturn's long term resolve to do whatever it takes for as long as it takes. While the Sun will leave your career sector on Sunday, the point in each year when the solar spotlight will always shift off your career and professional situation, matters and options and Mercury early next week, Jupiter is here until July 2026 and the most active point in his quest for professional growth and expansion won't come until Mars returns next month. This professional year is still warming up, though with the Moon's return to your income sector from Thursday to Saturday giving you insight into where things are going across the income, work and career fronts.

More about your Scorpio weekly career horoscope and prospects

You feel that your time is your own, even if you work for an employer. Thus you resist anything which wastes your time, for you can’t justify it. It’s not that you mind busywork exactly, you resent tasks which don’t advance your objectives. If it accomplishes nothing, you avoid it.

You have a set of goals for any period of time, and your Scorpio weekly career horoscope helps you define what you must accomplish, and when. By considering the tone of the week, you know how much you must push to gain momentum toward success.

You schedule your time based on your Scorpio weekly career horoscope

If you know there are serious demands on your time, you move flexible tasks, and then you hunker down. You avoid meetings with long-winded colleagues or clients in order to focus on more essential priorities.

Deadlines come first. You never leave until the last minute something that is due now, for you know it’s more sensible to finish early. That way there’s time to review, re-do, or rethink any problems. This is partly why you remain so calm—your life is in order.

Your Scorpio weekly career horoscope is like a personality Geiger counter

You excel at power struggles, and they rarely stress you, for you enjoy a good game of chess. When confronted with a difficult person, you make dynamic choices, and that way you come out ahead.

You feel invigorated by competition, and you don’t mind going head to head with someone at work, particularly if you dislike or have little respect for this person. You simply press forward, do your best, and win the battle. Then as your horoscope indicates a more congenial period forming, you relax, make jokes, and transform that opponent into a friend.
