Scorpio August 2027 Horoscope — The Three Dates

Deep Oracle Astrology Team · 2026-08-11 · 5 min read

August is the wide-frame month and then your career sector opens at the end. Two new moons, and the second sits on that handover — the study or the plan you begin at the start of the month is what you present at the end of it.

Scorpio already knows what the month is about. The dates decide when to act on it, which is the part that usually slips.

The four dates that structure August for Scorpio

Every time below is computed — the solar ingress from the Sun's actual longitude, the lunations from the exact moon–sun conjunction and opposition. Times are UTC, in chronological order. August 2027 carries two new moons, which happens when a lunar cycle of about 29.5 days fits twice inside one calendar month — so this month has two separate starting points rather than one.

Date (UTC)What happensWhere it lands for Scorpio
August 2, 10:06New moon in Leoyour 10th house — career and public role
August 17, 07:32Full moon in Aquariusyour 4th house — home and family
August 23, 08:14Sun enters Virgoyour 11th house — friendships and networks
August 31, 17:43Second new moon in Virgoyour 11th house — friendships and networks

For the first part of August the Sun sits in Leo, which is your 10th solar house (career and public role). On August 23 it hands over to your 11th, and the field opens outward to friends, networks, and what you are collectively aiming at.

August 2 — the new moon, in your 10th house

The professional beginning of your year: the application, the announcement, the visible move. Use it while people are still deciding rather than after.

At a new moon the moon overtakes the Sun in longitude and disappears for a day or two. That is the whole mechanism. The practical use is that it dates the beginning of a cycle, which is more useful for planning than any single-day reading. For Scorpio in August 2027 that window runs from August 2 to roughly August 17.

August 17 — the full moon, in your 4th house

A domestic or family matter reaches its point. Housing decisions made under this one tend to stick.

Because a full moon is an exact opposition, the moon's sign is fixed by the Sun's: six signs along, every time, with no exceptions. In August 2027 the Sun is in Leo and the moon is therefore in Aquarius, your 4th house rather than the 10th the new moon opened. That pairing — you open in the 10th and close in the 4th — is what August actually runs on for you.

August 23 — the handover

The Sun crosses into Virgo at 08:14 UTC, moving from your 10th solar house to your 11th. The register of the month changes here: career and public role gives way to friendships and networks. If August feels like two different months, this is why, and the date is the reason rather than a mood.

August week by week for Scorpio

The dates above cut the month into windows. Which of your houses is active in each one, and which half of the lunar cycle it sits in, is different for every sign — this is the Scorpio version.

  • August 1 — Sun in your 10th house (career and public role); the moon is shedding light — the half of the cycle for finishing, cutting and recovering.
  • August 2–16 — Sun in your 10th house (career and public role); the moon is building toward full — the half of the cycle for starting and pushing.
  • August 17–22 — Sun in your 10th house (career and public role); the moon is shedding light — the half of the cycle for finishing, cutting and recovering.
  • August 23–30 — Sun in your 11th house (friendships and networks); the moon is shedding light — the half of the cycle for finishing, cutting and recovering.
  • August 31 — Sun in your 11th house (friendships and networks); the moon is building toward full — the half of the cycle for starting and pushing.

If Scorpio is your rising sign

Read the same three dates against the same house numbers — but as your real houses rather than solar ones. A whole-sign chart with Scorpio rising puts Leo on your 10th house and Virgo on your 11th, exactly as above, so the August 2 new moon falls in your 10th and the August 17 full moon in your 4th. That version is considerably more specific than the Sun-sign one, and it costs only your birth time to check.

What this forecast does not claim

Everything not in the table is absent on purpose. Eclipses, retrogrades and slow-planet ingresses require an ephemeris we verify against before printing, and an unverified date on an astrology page is worth less than no date. The dates above are computed; everything else is interpretation of the house they fall in.

Everything above is keyed to your Sun sign alone. The same dates read differently against your rising sign, which is the one placement a monthly column can never assume. Run the free natal chart calculator to see which real houses these dates land in for you, read how transits work for the mechanism, and the twelve houses for what each one covers. The year as a whole is in the Scorpio 2027 forecast, and the computed calendar behind every date here is in the 2027 year ahead.
