ASTROLOGY FINANCES 101

I've been digging a lot about money and astrology, and most information is pretty basic. They all say to keep an eye on 2h, but this is not enough. So, this is a short summary of things that i've found relevant so far:

2H: yes, your 2h is important. It is the house of value, and therefore, it also includes your income. But this house talks about how you make your regular day to day money, AND your relationship with that money. So, if your 2h is on a fire sign, you will be comfortable making money in risky ways, and you will have a very passionate relationship with your money. Money becomes something exciting, and if you have a job that is not exciting, you will see that reflected. Of course, it is important to know what other planets are there and PLEASE check your house ruler. For example, if you have a 2h Aries, where is Mars on your chart? This will give your a better idea of how money comes to you.

8H: this is the house of shared money, investments, stocks, inheritance. If you have placements in this house, you will probably be interested in investing or making your money work for you. You can receive or work with money that isn't yours too. For this house i think it is not only important to know the qualities of the sign that is in, but the ruler of that sign. For example: if you have a Libra 8h, and Venus on 9h, we could say that could feel a bit insecure about investing even though you like the idea, but through knowledge and information, you can make solid choices and start your path.

11H: this is the house of gains, popularity and social recognition. People with placements in this house are recognized by their community and tend to accomplish their financial dreams. They are wealthy, and it comes without much effort. It is important to see the sign, of course, but also what placements are here. Mercury? Then you will gain through communicating. Venus? Maybe through art or entertainment. Mars? It could be activism and social causes.

North Node: do you have your north node on these houses? If your north node is on the 2h and 8h, you are called to make your financial dreams come true. It is important that you see what aspects and signs are affecting your north node so you can know how to work with it. For example, a 2h Cancer North Node can feel very shy about finances and will struggle taking risky decisions. They want to feel safe first, and this will be majorly important to make money in the right way for them. If they don't feel safe first, money won't come.

Saturn: many people ignore Saturn when is about finances, because saturn is mostly about karma and lessons. But Saturn is also discipline, hard-work, control, and stability in the material world. Saturn in 2h 8h often means that big money will come, but it will come later in life, you will have to go through his lessons firsts. If you have conjuction with Venus or Jupiter, this will give a bit of push to your finances and you won't struggle much, but again, you need to be ready for father Saturn lessons too.

Jupiter: known as a the planet for luck, it can play a big role on finances. Not only check where is located on your natal chart, especially in the 2h or 8h, but also it is interesting if it is on the 10h or 11h. What sign is located in? This can tell you the qualities. For example, Pisces 11h with Jupiter could be manifested as a lot of gains through creative work or spiritual work.

Moon: i'm sorry but the moon is extremely helpful for making daily decisions about money, don't come at me lol do you need to publish your big project or business and you need people to pay attention? Wait for the moon to be favorable, maybe on your 10H, 11H, wait for a full moon. You want personal recognition through your business? Wait for the moon transit your 1H. Get a moon calendar, you won't regret it.

These are just a few basics observations that have helped me on my financial journey. I hope this helps you guys!

“Let your plans be dark and impenetrable as night, and when you move, fall like a thunderbolt.”

— Sun Tzu, The Art of War

Water says to the dirty, “Come here.”

The dirty one says, “But I am so ashamed.”

Water says, “How will you be made clean without me?”

- Mawlānā Rūmī

“I have named you queen. There are taller than you, taller. There are purer than you, purer. There are lovelier than you, lovelier. But you are the queen. When you go through the streets No one recognizes you. No one sees your crystal crown, no one looks At the carpet of red gold That you tread as you pass, The nonexistent carpet. And when you appear All the rivers sound In my body, bells Shake the sky, And a hymn fills the world. Only you and I, Only you and I, my love, Listen to it.”

— -Pablo Neruda, Love Poems Get This Book (via awesomebookquotes)

Red satin draped over porcelain skin

She is smoking his cigarettes

Just to taste his lips

Baking his favorite cherry pie

Spraying on his cologne

Waiting so patiently

For him to come home

...

(he never came home)
