Scorpio General  Horoscope

Daily Scorpio General Horoscope for Friday 17 August

It's natural we should want to go great lengths to please those closest to us. However, we can all recall what it feels like when someone makes too much effort in our direction. The effect can be smothering rather than helpful. This scenario could apply to either effort someone is making on your behalf or effort you're making on theirs. One of you could sense it's more than what's required. Less really could be more now.

Weekly Scorpio General Horoscope starting 17 August

It's possible that what has been a gentle 'push' so far could become an uncomfortable 'shove' this week, but that could be a development you'll feel relieved or reassured by. You might sense enough assessment, analyzing and preparation have gone into something requiring a brave step to be taken. This week, prepare to show someone – and yourself – what you're capable of. Had you not been pushed to do so, it might not have happened.

Monthly Scorpio General Horoscope for August

It might be clear how little control you have over a home or family situation. As much as you might wish you could step in, take the initiative and resolve what needs resolving, you might find that being an observer and allowing certain situations to unfold in their own way is more helpful. Similar frustration might be felt regarding your career, too. Fortunately, a Solar Eclipse highlights your professional aspirations and a new era related to your career could commence. You might be appreciative of any frustrations and delays if they push you to take a step you wouldn't have taken otherwise – and one you're likely to be glad to have taken!
