What is potential? Having or showing the capacity to become or develop into something in the future. It's not about the shower, it's about the grower. What does develop mean? To evolve, mature, progress, advance, undertake. All those words are verbs. Verbs are actions, occurrences, or a state of being. You may have the potential to do something in the future which is determined by your actions in the now.
The new moon is on August 4th, 2024, at 12° Leo. The 12th degree of Leo points to being mild mannered and yielding your power. It addresses your potential for success or lack of success because of untapped potential that you failed to act on. Kevin Garnet yelled at the top of his lungs that “anything is possible” when he won a championship with the Boston Celtics. How much faith do you have in his proclamation?
New Moons kick start new cycles when untapped potential and new opportunities can be called forth. The Sun is in the sign of its rulership Leo with the moon the ruler of Cancer which is the next-door neighbor to Leo. All bets are off when the Sun and Moon are left alone in a house by themselves, Venus will exit Leo on the same day as the New Moon. Self-assured, courageous, pride, self-expressive, creative, loving, flamboyant, and a leader represent Leo energy. Leo Moon can be the shy performer who needs to be encouraged to take the stage. Leo Moon’s are the type that will have mom’s spaghetti stained on their shirt when they finally do take the stage. Can you express yourself in a way which makes heads turn because of your specialness? Everyone has the potential to be special, but did you put in the necessary work required to be recognized or is that untapped potential still sitting in the box it came in unopened?
Are you tempted to return it to the sender? Have you put in the effort that would allow you to advance to the next level or should the next level be given to you on the strength of your potential? Are you proud of your accomplishments or do you need to work harder? When you let your true light shine do you uplift others, or do you make others feel like a second-class citizen? Are you joyful, warm, confident, self-expressive, and have a sense of belonging? If your answer is no, then why not? Fear of rejection is the likely culprit. You must take the risk of being bigger and bolder with a penchant towards spontaneous self-expression. Fear of rejection leads to people pleasing and inauthentic behavior. How much recognition, approval, and praise do you need from others? You must let your true light shine to attract the right group for you and be willing to walk away from a group.
Are you your worst enemy? Is it just about you or can you share the stage with others? Venus at the critical degrees of Leo during the new moon begs me to ask, have you been self-centered, self-indulgent, and vain with expectations that you're entitled to be the center of attention knowing you haven’t done the work. Did you know thinking before acting, planning before beginning and letting go of the need to control, and learning how to empower others leads to your higher self-worth. If you work on your health and your growth putting plans into action you will experience success in some form. What is success to you? Does a dollar amount or others validation determine success? Does material or financial success make you better than the next person? What if material or finances was not the other person's focus, are you more successful in their eyes?
The New Moon in Leo is about attaining what you desire. Is your mind, body, soul, and spirit working towards the same purpose or are they at odds with one another? It’s about ambition, advancement, success, and victories. You must recognize that you will have small battles which you must fight to win the war. Take a toast to mark minor victories en route to the destination. How well do you deal with delays and challenges that you need to overcome? Do you have patience for when things don’t run as planned? Set intentions for advancement, success, victory and glory going for what you deem is success. Keep in mind the affirmation that despite setbacks, I will succeed, gain the admiration and respect of those around me. For I am victorious.
