Scorpio Weekly Horoscope | August 5th – August 11th 2024
Mercury turns retrograde on August 5th and along with it go any hopes of being singled out for a job well done, rewarded for your efforts, or lauded for your talents. It’s a little disappointing (not to mention dispiriting), but the truth is that supervisors have their noses pressed to the grindstone these days and are far too busy racing to keep up with deadlines to notice anyone else. Keep hurt feelings to yourself and wait until August 28th when Mercury resumes direction. This is when everyone will be in a much better frame of mind and more generous with their praise and appreciation.

It’s clear that you and a creative partner make for a successful team. Unfortunately, you don’t get along. It’s nothing to be ashamed about.

It’s ironic that for a sign that’s as freedom-seeking and derring-do as yours you will balk right at the time when you need to take that big jump.

Mercury retrogrades are famous for sowing the seeds of confusion, sprinkling flies in the ointment, and making you look left when you should have been looking right. They’re not exactly deal breakers, but they can certainly throw a cosmic monkey wrench into the smooth workings of your day-to-day life. That’s why it’s always a good idea to add two weeks to any deadline that you’re working with and to go over any contract or agreement with a fine-tooth comb.
You don’t want to get snagged on a hidden technicality or brought up short by an overlooked addendum. You might also postpone purchasing any big-ticket items during this time because chances are you’ll find some kind of fault in the merchandise or discover that the price was inflated or the property over-valued. Mercury will be retrograde from August 5th to August 28th.
