Finances
Introduction to Natal Astrology - 2
- Written by Philip Graves (major credit: Sepharial) - 14 Jan 2004
The remainder of this article thematically details time-honoured considerations of matters to be read from the natal figure, drawing substantially from the records of the 19th century anthologist of astrological wisdom Sepharial.
Finances
Planets in the Second house (since it governs money matters); planets in the Tenth house (since it governs business matters); and the condition of the Lord of the Second house are key indicators of fortunes. In a male nativity, the condition of the Moon is a chief financial significator; while in a female nativity, the condition of the Sun acts thus; but both luminaries should receive attention in this role in nativities for either sex.
Harmonious and inharmonious aspects to any of these significators bode well or ill (respectively) for the finances, with fortune or misfortune arising from sources indicated by the nature of the aspecting planet itself, the sign or house in which it is posited, and the houses over which it is Lord. The very best are considered to be those from the Sun to the Moon; and those from Venus to Jupiter, particularly when either is conjunct the Ascendant or elevated in the figure. Where afflictions between the Sun and Moon are present, own business enterprises are strongly contraindicated.
Afflictions to the Moon from a malefic elevated above it in the figure portends financial failure, which will be irrecoverable if Saturn is in the Tenth house. Any afflictions to financial significators may be relieved by conjunctions or harmonious aspects from Venus or Jupiter.
Mars in the Second house leads to liberal expenditure; if it is afflicting the Moon from here, losses from fire, theft or other strifes are indicated. Mars or Saturn in the Second or Tenth house is bad for the pecuniary fortunes, unless it throws a harmonious aspect to a benefic or a luminary. Mars, Saturn or Uranus in the Second house afflicting the Moon and unrelieved by an aspect from any benefic leads to life becoming an incessant struggle with adversity. Mars afflicting Jupiter shows loss from betting or speculation, especially where Jupiter is also afflicted by Saturn or Uranus.
Jupiter afflicting the Moon leads to improvidence, and to losses caused by overgenerosity and indiscrete actions. Jupiter in the Eighth house shows financial gain from marriage and other partnerships.
Saturn in the Seventh house has an adverse impact on trade. Saturn afflicting the Moon brings financial failure. Saturn or Uranus in the Seventh house, and afflicting the Moon, portends ills from partnership and public affairs, which should be avoided. Saturn or Uranus in harmonious aspect to Jupiter brings gifts and legacies, especially if either is Lord of or posited in the Eighth House; inheritance, if either is Lord of or posited in the Fourth house; or gain by marriage or partnership, if either is Lord of the Seventh house or Jupiter is posited in it. Saturn or Uranus afflicting Jupiter indicates loss in legal disputes and through deception by trustees and those in charge of the individual's financial affairs, from sources indicated by the house placement of the afflicting planet.
Uranus afflicting a significator of finances brings financial peril. Uranus in the Second house brings numerous sudden changes, with success and failure following close on each other's heels. Uranus in the Seventh house and afflicted causes harassment from creditors and difficulties following marriage; but such problems will be surmounted if Uranus s relieved by a harmonious aspect to the Moon. Uranus in harmonious aspect to a luminary denotes gains through people and matters over which Uranus in general has dominion.Neptune in the Second house and afflicting the Moon leads to being the victim of a fraud or company bankruptcy.
Pluto in the Second house in harmonious aspect to the Moon, Venus or Jupiter produces financial gains through personal skill and ingenuity. In the Fifth house with such an aspect, gain from gambling and speculation is indicated; while in the Eighth house with such an aspect, gain through a legacy is shown. Pluto afflicted in any of the above houses brings bankruptcy, crippling losses, or profligacy.
A majority of planets in cadent houses limits progress in life.
