“how can you see what you are truly capable of + the actual potential you have working in your favor?”

recent client query: “i’m not living up to my potential; why is it so hard to identify?”

…

each of the planetary placements in our birth chart exists to help us unlock a life-long journey of self-discovery + potential.

when a placement is in close proximity or at an angle to another, their energies are aligned to even further shape the story of how we are meant to work with them.

especially in “crowded” signs or houses we can feel overwhelmed by our mission, by what’s possible, or destined. there’s a multi-faceted astrological missive to unpack in this lifetime + all elements are critical.

taking a closer look at conjunctions in particular can help us to inform how themes want to be supported, whether through synergy or challenge.

exploration:

“how can you see what you are truly capable of

+ the actual potential you have working in your favor?”

challenge: in what ways are you underestimating yourself?

client’s personal placements

jupiter conjunct neptune in sagittarius, 4th house

with this natal conjunction, neptune (the visionary) + jupiter (the big picture thinker) come together beautifully to offer bold optimism + open-minded expansion. you are a visionary with a gift to see past complexity and into interconnectedness, with a truly spiritual take on the potential of all that could be.

as this alignment lands in the sign of sagittarius, themes of higher learning, philosophy, international travel, + religion can be of importance. there is a strong pull towards moving out of the mundane; conversely, the immensity of this conjunction can also mean that without guidance + boundaries, the amorphous ability of what could be is paralyzing. the immensity of possibility, beyond overwhelm.

in the 4th house, there is a call to find expansion beyond traditional family structures, roots, and early life experiences. there is a need to disassemble what generationally or locally may be “known;” to step out on to a much higher destined path.

the past MUST be released as you move deeply into an expansive future, beyond what could have been imagined.

…

sometimes the immensity of what could be - when felt without the guardrails of guidance + boundaries - is so overwhelming,

so amorphous, that the possibility is beyond comprehension, leading to inaction.

…

challenge: how can you speak unseen opportunity into reality?

mercury in capricorn conjunct jupiter in sagittarius,

4th house

with this natal conjunction, jupiter (the big picture thinker) + mercury (the communicator) come together beautifully meld open-minded expansion with thoughtful communication. you don’t just have big ideas around what could be; you know how to communicate them practically into existence.

sitting alongside expansion through sagittarian themes, mercury in capricorn suggests that a laser-focus on goals, clear and pragmatic thinking, and practical solutions are a bit challenged in trying to create a harmonious relationship with the more joyous + free-form approach of jupiter.

takeaways + potential journal prompts

after hearing + reading through this, as well as doing any additional research on these placements; what comes up for you?

in what ways or areas might you be underestimating yourself or not fully showing up, out of fear of potential?

where are you too attached to what’s conventional or comfortable, especially when it comes to family, domestic environments, or early life experiences?

how can you mourn what you thought what “should” be, but isn’t? how can you celebrate what is beyond what you could have imagined?

it can be incredibly overwhelming to understand one’s own immensity; especially when it comes to taking first steps towards the future. if anything is possible, then, where do you even start? with this sort of largesse thinking, how might you see potential as a gift and not daunting?

affirmation

what has been right for others, but is not right for me, I release with grace;

where I have found comfort + familiarity in shared past experiences, I am grateful; that does not mean it has to continue along my path with me.
