Wealth Potential in Your Birth Chart
Your Astrology birth chart holds clues to wealth
It fascinates me to know that each time I study my Astrology birth chart I am looking at the horoscope of someone with indications of significant wealth. Yep, I've got the birth chart of a rich person. YOU might even have the potential for wealth in your chart.
Astrology houses related to money
But when you combine my Taurus Sun with some of the other, classic indicators of wealth potential ... well, it's something any astrologer would take notice of. Take my Venus-Pluto opposition, which is the tightest aspect in my chart. Venus rules my natal 2nd House of Earned Income, while Pluto rules my natal 8th House of Joint Resources, which rules money that you get from sources besides your income. Things like royalties, investments, inheritance or your spouse's income. Pluto intensifies whatever planet it touches, and when you've got a Venus-Pluto link that ties into your chart in a particular way, it can promise significant money.
If your Venus-Pluto link ties into Jupiter -- the planet of expansion and abundance -- then it's a no-brainer that you'll hit the jackpot in finances. In my case, Venus-Pluto ties into my Moon-Neptune conjunction in my 8th House of Joint Resources. Here we have a solid indicator that I will always marry someone with money. Not that I'm looking for it. Still, it's a strong indication in my chart. Venus rules my 2nd House of Earned Income, but it also rules my 7th House of Partnerships. Interestingly enough, my first marriage was to a man of means. I truly loved him, but I will say that marrying him elevated my financial status in an incredible way.
Divorcing him, on the other hand, did not. Indeed, if you've got Neptune in the 8th House of Joint Resources there is a chance that you'll amass great wealth, but that you might be defrauded into losing it at some point. Of course, with that Venus-Pluto opposition there are lessons of power struggles attached to money. Yeah, that divorce was not pretty -- I paid a hefty price. And I'm not just talking about the $150,000 in legal fees.
What my divorce DID teach me, however, is that I am fully capable of creating my own wealth. And while it's in my chart to marry well, it's also in my chart to make that money myself. Thank God for that! Ironically, this will only happen as long as I am doing something spiritual and serving.
More money-making indicators
Another one of my "money-making indicators" is that I've got a gorgeous trine between Mars and Jupiter. When these two planets link up in a positive way in your chat, it's a surefire gauge that you'll always make money faster than you can spend it. I have found this to be true. Even when I've struggled financially, I always managed to stay ahead.
Jupiter happens to be in my 12th House of Spirituality, along with Venus. These two benefic planets are money planets, and some might think that because they're tucked away in the hidden 12th house that I'll never materialize these money dreams. Quite the opposite, actually.
The planet Neptune and its corresponding 12th House of Spirituality are notoriously active in the charts of the wealthy. There's something to be said about having total faith in your ability to acquire wealth. If you've got a strong 12th house and/or Neptune, you've got that faith in spades.
Both of my 12th house planets aspect Neptune in the 8th house in my chart. Venus forms a trine and Jupiter a square. A Jupiter-Neptune aspect is known as the "millionaire's aspect," by the way. It doesn't matter what type of contact these planets make in your chart. As long as there's contact, there's potential. If you've got a contact between Jupiter and Pluto in your chart, as Bill Gates does, then congratulations -- you've got the "billionaire's aspect." I'm happy with the millionaire indicators -- I don't want to get greedy, now!
Free will still plays a role
Yes, it's fun to contemplate how it appears I have the horoscope of someone destined for wealth. But the reality is that your natal promise needs your free will to fire it up and maximize all the potential you've got. And, of course, you need the right transits/progressions to trigger any promise in your horoscope, whether it's for marriage, divorce, a move or wealth.
I grew up in the most humble of circumstances -- a working-class family, the daughter of an immigrant from Italy. We lived paycheck to paycheck and I vividly remember significant hard times when my mother was forced to choose between paying a utility bill and buying us food. It was normal for us to eat rice and beans or pasta all week long during the really difficult times.
Growing up in an environment with so little physical security does lend itself to being a seeker of that security later in life. I'm pretty sure that's why my soul chose to be a Taurus this time around. To learn the lesson that true security does not come from anything material. It does, in fact, come from within. Kudos to my Scorpio friends for already knowing that everything material is temporary. I know I can't take it with me when I die, but while I'm here I would really like the security of not worrying how to provide for myself or my family.
I do not apologize for wanting financial security -- or wealth for that matter. However, my soul does know with alarming clarity that for the universe to deliver this promise I must remain serving, benevolent and humble. I'll continue to do my best to keep up my end of the promise to the universe as I patiently wait for him to deliver his end of the bargain.
In the meantime, what's your wealth quotient? You can schedule a personal consultation with your friendly neighborhood astrologer to find out, or look for clues yourself by running your own birth chart.
