Manifesting Money

“Some writers research in order to write. I write in order to research topics that interest me.”

— Chuck Palahniuk

“Oh, darling….You will be good to me, won’t you?…You will, won’t you?…Because we’re going to have a strange life.”

— Ernest Hemingway, A Farewell to Arms  

Break it take that mold you poured me from, that box you put me in will no longer hold me. This life has not been kind to this old stubborn fool but I have gotten back up each time. Today as I lay here admiring the views contemplating my next move your voice is all around me, your message rolling through my head. Rise up and take flight, let go of yesterday's fight. Free yourself from within and accept who you have always been. A beacon of guiding light like the fiery phoenix, you light up the night.

The conversation I wish we would have

His chest was slick with sweat as I shifted against his side to pull the covers up around myself and finally ask the question that had been burning inside me since we had started sleeping together again.

Afraid to possibly face the rejection in his eyes, I pressed a kiss to his cheek before tucking my face into his neck.

“Who are we to each other?”

The hand that had been lazily trailing up and down my spine faltered. I wished I hadn't asked.

We had been strangers, friends with benefits, lovers, each other’s, estranged for a while, friends again, and now- now I didn't know how to label us. Didn't know if he wanted to label us.

To label us would make things real and complicated and messy.

Another moment is stillness and his hand resumed its path on my back.

“You tell me.”

His answer was a non- answer. An avoidance. A turn around.

“You know what I would like is to be. What I want us to be again.”

I shifted again to lean against his chest so I could meet his eyes now.

“What feels like forever ago, we stood in the kitchen, and I told you I had to say the words at least once.”

His hand tightened around my waist as I ran my hand up his neck to hold his cheek.

“I have to say it again. I need to say it again.”

“Then say it.”

“I love you. I am in love with you.”

“I know.”

[2:00am] I swear... I can't help it. How do you spin words that makes my heart beat eratically every time you text me? I'm still reeling from that one line you just sent; "I'll come over to your place no matter what."

Aphrodite: god I have a headache

Athena: you tend to have a lot of headaches

Aphrodite: I don’t drink enough water

Athena: oh yeah me neither

Aphrodite: hot girls are dehydrated

Athena: that’s what I’m saying

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!

I talk to the universe all the time.

“I do not wish to convert people from one organized religion to another; I have no interest in any of these organized religions. My interest is in Dhamma - the truth, the teachings of all Enlightened Ones. If at all there is any conversion, it should be from misery to happiness, from defilement to purity, from bondage to liberation, from ignorance to Enlightenment.”
