Astrology

Financial Position

Some are born with silver spoon. Some may become rich in the middle of life, even if born in a poor family. Some may lead an average life, while many people find it difficult to make both ends meet. The horoscope indicates the financial status of a person and the sources of income.

The second house signifies money, material gains, assets and possessions of the person. The house and sign occupied by the ruler of the 2^nd house, the association with other planets or their aspects indicate the sources of income, losses or gains and the expenditure. Venus, the ruler of Taurus -- the second sign in the Zodiac-- will also influence financial position.

The 8^th house, opposite the 2^nd house also governs financial affairs. In fact, it signifies money, material, assets or possessions of others, and also unearned income like gifts, donations, inheritance, dowry, interest, legacies, lotteries, hidden treasure, pension, loans, insurance, rents, capital gains, charities, etc., not earned by hard work. The 8^th house also indicates income from gambling, theft, speculation, financing, etc., public funds, joint funds and the money or assets of spouse, partner or others also belong to the 8th house. The planets occupying the 8^th house and the ruler of the 8th house in different houses and signs indicate the unearned income or the liabilities and losses.

Venus, Jupiter, Mercury, Moon or Sun in the second house in own sign, in good aspect to the planets in the 10^th, 4^th, 6^th or 12^th house indicate good financial position. Adverse aspects from the planets in houses 5,8 and 11 may cause expenditure, loss, liabilities and financial problems. Mars, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune or Pluto in the second house, in good aspect to the planets in the 4^th, 10^th, 6^th or 12^th indicate good financial position but if afflicted by the planets in 5^th, 8^th, or 11^th houses cause heavy expenditure, losses, liabilities and serious financial difficulties.
