Your Money Planets

Introduction

There is not one method for financial freedom that works for everyone. Some people benefit from going cold turkey and cutting up their credit cards but that only works for a few. Others like to put in more hours at a paying job, and some will create some passive income that supplements their household kitty. These are just a few examples of how to manage money. But will they work for you?

On the internet there is mountains of information everywhere and you are knee-deep in financial advice tips and get-rich-quick schemes. Everyone you speak to has a system or method to manage their budget. Their method may work for them but it won’t necessarily work for you.

What if you could see the pattern of your money management through the eyes of astrology?

Listen to our podcast episode on Your Money Planets.

Money

The markets may go up and down but we are living in the here and now and need to make good financial choices in our everyday life. I’m going to share with you how best each sign approaches money management in general through their money planets. Many people work for others and are in jobs they hate but they keep them because they have to pay the rent and put food on the table. These are basic requirements for everyone. We all need a home and food and succor.

Satisfaction

All people have a small spark inside them that wants to live a more fulfilling life and to be satisfied by the activities and people you know and meet in your life. This spark can be an ember and remain so never quite reaching its full potential or with some fanning it can grow into a full-blown fiery ball of heat, warmth and light.

When you satisfy your creativity by doing things in line with what is indicated in your chart your life will be better and you will be satisfied with your life. If you can find this small spark and bring it to life through caring and doing activities that make it grow your can have a bright light and a warm fire burning that sustains you through the dark days of the work-eat-sleep-repeat grind that so many of us live.

It is my goal to inspire you to do more and do more exciting and creative things that make you feel happy. Much personal satisfaction is found through a comfortable financial life.

Having enough

If you have a plan or a vision for your life you have a better chance of realizing it. Make sure you lift your eyes to the horizon and don’t spend another year with your nose to the grindstone or sitting at a desk staring at a blank wall.

You can raise your sights from the mundane and imagine taking other paths and journeys. You will find that what you have is enough.

Wealth building

Each sign has a different approach to wealth building and you can focus on tuning yourself up whether it is mental, physical or emotional financial freedom that you seek. It is always better to work with the stars than against them. The reduction of debt, being paid what you are worth and spending mindfully are three basics to financial freedom. On top of that to have some mad money at the end of the month is a pleasure. Who doesn’t want to buy their kids toys, bikes and trendy clothes and give tem some cash to blow? This all comes from your mad money. But the catch is that you can only do this if you have got your money under control and live in your truth.

Ruling Planets

Every sign has a ruling planet. Some planets rule two signs. The Sun rules Leo. The Moon rules Cancer. Mercury rules Gemini and Virgo. Venus rules Taurus and Libra. Mars rules Aries. Jupiter rules Sagittarius. Saturn rules Capricorn. Uranus rules Aquarius. Neptune rules Pisces. Pluto rules Scorpio. These planets are known as the sign rulers. So, if you are a Capricorn then Saturn is your sign ruler. Just about everyone knows this.

But wait, there’s more.

Each sign has three or four planets that rule the financial life of the sign. So, again, if you are a Capricorn you will have Saturn as your sign ruler but you will also have more planets that have a say over you financial life and these planets can be understood in the way they relate to your income and spending habits.

Each sign has one sign ruler and three or four money rulers. The sign ruler is the main planet and in charge and the money planets are like sub-rulers as they only have a say over a small part of your life your money life. And let’s face it this is a huge part of life for most people. Your money planets are fixed by your birth chart so they stay the same for your lifetime. But these actual planets keep moving in the sky and that is part of the story. As the planets change signs and direction they gain or lose their ability to work well for you if they are one of your money planets.

How planets move

For example, if Mercury is retrograde now and it is not one of your personal money planets then that’s ok it won’t affect you and your money this year. But, if Mercury is one of your money planets then it’s retrograde period will change Mercury’s ability to support your financial life depending on which area of your finances Mercury rules and which one of your money planets is Mercury.

Planets in signs will blossom or wilt

In another example, if today Venus is in a sign that it blossoms so either Taurus, Libra or Pisces it will be a bonus time for you if Venus is one of your financial planets. If Venus is not one of your financial planets then it doesn’t matter. If Venus is in a sign where it wilts so either Aries, Scorpio or Virgo, it will be a challenging financial time for you if Venus is one of your money planets. If Venus is not one of your financial planets then it doesn’t matter. The way your money planets move and connect with the other planets shows the ebb and flow of your economic makeup. A little knowledge of astrology and planetary movements can help your navigate the world of money so much easier than before.

Blossom and wilt signs for each planet

  • The Sun blossoms in Leo or Aries and wilts in Libra and Aquarius.
  • The Moon blossoms in Cancer or Taurus and wilts in Capricorn and Scorpio.
  • Mercury blossoms in Gemini or Virgo and wilts in Sagittarius and Pisces.
  • Venus blossoms in Taurus, Libra or Pisces and wilts in Aries, Scorpio and Virgo.
  • Mars blossom in Aries, Scorpio or Capricorn and wilts in Libra, Taurus and Cancer.
  • Jupiter blossoms is Sagittarius, Pisces or Cancer and wilts in Gemini, Virgo and Capricorn.
  • Saturn blossoms in Capricorn, Aquarius and Libra ands wilts in Cancer, Leo and Aries.
  • Uranus blossoms in Aquarius and wilts in Leo.
  • Neptune blossoms in Pisces and wilts in Virgo.
  • Pluto blossoms in Scorpio and wilts in Taurus.

Your Four Money Planets

In astrology you may be a Virgo and be ruled by Mercury in general, but within that there are different planets that rule various areas of your life. Your money planets cover one area in particular. Each sign has different money planets depending on where the money comes from or where it is going. Your four special money planets are; your income planet, your payback planet, your risk planet and your entrepreneur planet.

Financial levels of your life

These planets can be seen a levels of your financial life. They go deeper from the first one to the fourth one.

  • Your income planet is always used. We all have and need money to pay the rent and buy food and this money comes from somewhere.
  • Your payback planet can be managed over time. Most people will use and/or struggle with this planet and some will even master it.
  • Your risk planet may or may not be stimulated. It is clear that only some people will use this planet. Each person’s appetite to take a chance with money will be shown by their risk planet.
  • Your entrepreneurial planet may never be used but for those of you who do feel the urge to go it alone and start a business this planet is waiting for you in the wings.

You do not have to use all your money planets and most people only work with the first two of basic earning and owing or money in and money out. You may have the same planet for two of your money planets and this is fine as it reinforces that particular planet in your financial life. In this case you can pay special attention to any money plane that covers two areas. These money planets are associated with the four broad types of income and expenditure that you can experience. In total they express your full financial life and the urges and fears that you may experience surrounding money.

Income Planet

Your income planet covers the usual form of income for most people which is a job. It shows the nature of your earnings from regular work whether part-time or full time and for which you are paid regularly. You can have more than one job at a time. All regular and aboveboard income, including bonuses, tips and gratuities earned at work, will come through your main income planet.

This planet shows what you spend your money on and what you invest in. It suggests how you look after money, is your cash neatly tucked into your wallet all the notes facing upright or are they scrunched up and scattered on the bedside table with screwed-up banknotes and random coins on the floor. For example, do you accept or reject torn and dirty currency, and do you respect your money?

Your income planet suggests your credit rating and FICO score. It indicates the credit you can raise and how much you can potentially borrow. It does not show the money owed only the potential funds you can raise because people and banks feel comfortable lending to you and wish to invest in you. It shows pledges you can raise on site like Kickstarter and the like. This planet indicates any collateral you have available to finance more money. It indicates your wealth potential. Your income planet shows your net worth when it is positive.

Payback Planet

Your debts and money that you owe to others like your credit cards, mortgages, student loans, line of credit or that $50 you borrowed from your brother last night is shown by your payback planet.

Your payback planet covers all scholarships and bursaries for education or housing received that you have to pay back. All of these expenditures are influenced under your payback planet.

Your payback planet covers all insurances for which you have been paid out. It rules all annuities being forwarded to you. Insurances and annuities were originally paid for by you, or someone else, but when you are paid out they come back to you as income. You never receive an insurance payout unless someone paid something up front.

Your payback planet indicates where you give contributions and donate to others. It shows where you spend money to buy influence over other people as in political donations.

It indicates your relationship with the tax man, tax audits and all monies you owe and receive from him. Again if you did not originally receive income from your day job, or received interest or win the lottery, you would not owe tax on said income.

If you live debt free and pay everything on time you have reached and successfully navigated the second money planet.

Your payback planet indicates any graft, bribes or backhanders that you accept. It shows income from illegal and under the table activities.

Your payback planet shows your net worth when it is negative.

 

Risk Planet

Your third money planet is your risk planet. This may not be used much if you do not like risk and is shown by the planet ruling risk in your chart.

Some people will never gamble, play the stock exchange, buy a lottery ticket or bet at the tote and therefore may never use their risk planet.

Any speculative income from stocks or bonds or other financial instruments on the stock exchange including futures, indices and foreign exchange trading comes under your risk planet.

This planet also rules your gambling and lottery wins and all casino and gaming wins or losses. It covers any gains in an office draw, sweepstake or competition you entered.

All games of chance and where you bet like horse racing, dog racing and sports bets come under the auspices of your risk planet.

Your nighttime online poker game is suggested by your risk planet.

 

 

Entrepreneur Planet

For most people your entrepreneur planet is the least used money planet. Many folks never use this planet and do not ever have their own business.

Your entrepreneur planet rules all income from a business that you started yourself. This includes any micro or small business you began alone of with partners. It shows income from any company that you own.

Example

For example, if you knit hats or make wooden bird houses and sell them at a flea market on a Saturday morning that income is shown by your entrepreneur planet.

It also indicates income from honors you have received like the cash from your Nobel Prize or grants or gifts from the government that do not need to be repaid.

 

Which Sign to Read

These financial interpretations have been written for your ascendant sign. If you only know your Sun sign then read that but if you do know your ascendant sign please read that one. You may be a Virgo Sun but have a Capricorn ascendant. In this case you will read Capricorn.

Know your sign

If the Sun was in Aries when you were born you are considered an Aries Sun sign. If the Sun was in Taurus you are a Taurus Sun sign etc. The ascendant is the sign that was on the eastern horizon at the moment you drew your first breath. If Gemini was on the eastern horizon at your birth then you have a Gemini ascendant.

Cusp days

The Sun changes signs at anytime in the day it does not alter signs at midnight. If your birthday is on a day when the Sun does change signs this is know as a cusp day. You may affectionately be called, “a cusp baby.” You cannot be two signs at once. You may think you are both Aries and Taurus because you were born on a cusp day but you cannot be two signs, you are one or the other.

Get help to find you Sun sign and your ascendant sign

If you want to know your Sun sign and ascendant sign I can cast your birth chart from the information you provide which is:

  • Your birth time (hh:mm)
  • Your birth date (dd-mmm-yyyy)
  • Your birth place (village, town or city, state, province or county, country)

You are likely to spend on beautiful things and invest in quality. If you are a woman you will spend on yourself and if you are a guy you will spend on your lady. Venus here supports a fair income for a days work. If you work for others in a job all your life you will earn a decent income and this can be satisfactory.

Your payback planet is Pluto

Your attitude towards debt is that it is there to be used. If someone is willing to lend you money you are happy to borrow it. You are likely to learn about the compound interest that debt attracts early in life. The day will come when you pay it all off and live debt free for the rest of your days. To have power over your money is a tonic.

Your risk planet is the Sun

With the Sun as your risk planet you can take a chance and may do so on several occasions. If you are in the market buy gold and entertainment stocks. For you the markets will turn around June 21st and December 21st every year so always have a stable position then and the markets will hold around March 21st and September 21st each year.

Take a chance when the Sun is in Leo and hold when the Sun is in Aquarius. The solar eclipses every six months can be days of heightened financial energy either up or down so note these days every year.

You will spend on information pieces like TV’s, news channels and even radio. You will prefer to buy local and hand made goods. The three Mercury retrograde periods every year will be times for you to halt spending and return unwanted good back to the stores.

Your payback planet is Jupiter

With the biggest planet Jupiter as your payback planet you can amass huge debt and end up owing everyone and his dog. It may all start quite innocently but one day you will turn around and have massive debt. No matter how much you owe, even a little will seem like a lot to Taureans. Rein in yoru borrowings and you will feel better about yourself. There is the danger of marrying someone who carries big debt so always check this out before tying the knot.

Your risk planet is Mercury

You have Mercury as your risk money planet and this shows the nature of your gambling. You are more likely to fritter away your ‘mad’ money on little lottery tickets and scratch cards than other signs. Each play may be small but over a month it adds up. You are likely to win small increments and often. Avoid all gaming during the Mercury retrograde periods. On the stock exchange cover across the market with hedge funds and spreads. Invest in new channels, TV and radio, cell phones and hand held gadgets.

Your entrepreneur planet is Neptune

To have Neptune as your entrepreneurial planet suggests you will only dream of having your own business or at least dream for many years before doing something about it.

Your income planet is the Moon

The Moon rules your financial life including your earning potential. This is a planet that grows or wanes in light as the months progress and this symbolizes how your income goes as well. Some months are better than others for income. Buy as the Moon grows or waxes and sell when the Moon wanes or becomes thinner. The lunar eclipses that happen each year can be pause points for you. Let the day of the eclipse pass before doing something new on the money front.

Your payback planet is Saturn

If you still have debt from last year try to pay it off. Saturn as your payback planet suggests that any credit card debt will be difficult to pay down. If cutting up your cards is not an option then only use one at a time. You can limit yourself and stop adding on any more debt. You may have learned your spending habits from your father but you need to educate yourself and learn how to control unwanted spending.

Your risk planet is Venus

You may be good at getting income from the stock exchange and you are likely to reap profits from this area. Forex may appeal to you. You can invest in sugar, flowers and perfumes. Venus supports good income wherever it is so this will be a positive place for you to attract money. You may even receive income from being a financial advisor for others.

Your entrepreneur planet is Mars

The entrepreneurial planet is Mars and this strengthens your drive to run your own business. You are likely to have already had your own little business or lemonade stand as a teenager. Never take a partner and always own the business one hundred percent. Resist making new moves when Mars is in its retrograde period once in every two years. This is the time to take a break.

Cancer

Cancer is concerned with feelings and to you family is all. You are protective, sensitive and patriotic.

The lunar ruled are safety conscious and aware of the past so much so you can be overly sentimental or spend much time wandering down memory lane. You are steady in a crisis and tenacious. You usually live a sheltered life and strive to provide well for those in your care. Of all the signs Cancer is shy.

Your income planet is the Sun

The Sun rules your financial life including your earning potential.  Your finances will continue to grow over your lifetime but you may spend as quickly as you earn. Make hay while the sun shines and bank as much as you can. You may feel the pinch later in life as your kids suck money out of you and squeeze your incoming funds. Be wary of mortgage buy backs if your grown children need money.

Your payback planet is Uranus

You may carry some debt and then again maybe not. You are likely to get ridiculously low interest rates and this can be how you are initiated into carrying a level of debt that seem outrageous to others. The danger with Uranus is that your may decide to walk away from what you owe, disappear and live off the grid.

Your risk planet is Pluto

You have Pluto as your risk planet and this will curb gambling for the most part. If you do play roulette you will go all in and choose black or red.

You may be a good advisor or sponsor for others wishing to curb their crippling debt levels and gambling issues.

Leo

The Sun is in Leo from July 23rd to August 23rd every year. Leo’s symbol is the Lion king of the jungle and this has much to say about Leo.

The key phrase for Leos is, “I create” and strong Leo types use this.

The Lion is of the fixed mode suggesting they don’t like change, in the element of fire indicating they are inspirational and of the active polarity meaning they are extroverted. The ruling planet is the Sun (yes, we know it is a star, but in astrology circles it is referred to as a planet).

Leos are dignified, have honor and are proud. They can be vain. They are the most creative sign and are fun loving. They are honest, warm and loyal. They are organized, strong and can be dramatic. They will delegate to the other signs. They take life on in a wholehearted manner. They have a childlike wonder of the world and detest poverty. Of all the signs they can play their role once they know what it is.

Your income planet is Mercury

Mercury rules your financial life including your earning potential and this will stimulate your money area. The danger times for you are the three Mercury retrograde periods each year.

Of course you have to eat and have a roof, but curb any unnecessary spending during this time. You may feel frustrated if you can’t buy all the beautiful things you want in your life but trust me it will be better to hold back on spending at this time. Always only borrow what you can afford and you may think that because they will lend you thousands you should spend it up to the hilt. Not so. Look to your future as a lion in a year or two and decide if you really need more stuff. Spending too much all the time is a problem for many people and Leos want the best and the shiniest goodies for themselves and their families. Leos will spend on expensive and luxury goods for friends and family.

Your payback planet is Neptune

With Neptune as your payback planet reducing your creditors is a long drawn out affair. You may think you are paying down debt but the interest can overcome all your efforts. Get to know exactly what you owe. Do not have your head in the sand anymore on your financial situation. Learn the difference between and asset and a liability. An asset will feed you whereas a liability will eat you. Get educated and clear the fog. This is the classic placement for saying, “I can stop spending any time I want.”

Your risk planet is Jupiter

Leos have the excessive planet Jupiter as their risk planet. This can mean you will risk all and often. You may be able to control yourself but the excitement of the casino may call. The lights and twinkle of these seductive places appeal to Leos. Always only take cash and never used credit cards to cover bets.

Your entrepreneur planet is Mercury

You are lucky to have Mercury as your entrepreneurial planet. This will allow you to have many little businesses all going at once.

This is the classic placement for multiple income streams. You can set up a variety of micro businesses to bring in ten to fifty dollars a month and happily augment your income through these methods.

 

 

Virgo

There are more Virgo births than any other sign. Those born under the sign of the virgin are the workers of the zodiac and are often placed in supporting roles. You do not like being put on the spot and will resist leadership when it is offered to you. It’s like a beehive with one queen bee – the Leo and many worker bees – the Virgos.

Your risk planet is Saturn

Your entrepreneur planet is the Moon

Any business you start will grow in phases. You may start off slowly and then develop a reasonable income only to have it snatched away again. Over time you can build a business income but be aware that there will be times of feast and times of famine. Save in the good times because they will not last forever.

Libra

Libra loves equality especially in partnerships. You are persuasive and will encourage others to see your point of view. You are balanced and will compromise on occasion. You generally have good manners and are civil, polite and courteous. This is an elegant person with style.

This makes it easy for Librans to pull money out of the hat and at the same time bring in a big win once or twice a year. Your earning can be sporadic and sometimes there will be just nibbles and crumbs but at other times you can surprise even yourself at the sheer power of your ability to almost magnetically attract cash.

Your payback planet is Venus

People will want you to succeed and you will receive offers of help as your little company gains traction and grows. You may be good at creating the business and then handing the reins over to trusted managers. Always keep full-ownership, avoid partners and the Sun will light the way for you.

Scorpio

If you are a Scorpio you have two ruling planets the traditional planet of Mars the warrior and the modern planet of Pluto the transformer .

Scorpios are intense, passionate, survivors. You have self-control and are penetrating. You like to delve to the bottom of things. You are sexy, deep but also suspicious. You can be unforgiving. You fare well in a crisis. You are potent and can be jealous. Others think you are intimidating and if you are betrayed you will get revenge.

Your income planet is Jupiter

Jupiter rules your financial life including your earning potential and this is the planet of bounty. But the gifts are fleeting and need to be handled carefully, as only a Scorpio can, to make sure they last. Whatever you earn you will be discrete and you can keep it private which this is how it should be. Your financial situation is only your own business and not for general discussion. Through promotion at work you can reach an impressive income as those who matter see and support you.

Your payback planet is Mercury

With Mercury as your payback planet the best way to reduce your debt is to nibble away at it. This means paying what is due each month and then add some in-between payments. Keep paying in the odd $10 or $20 that you have around. In this way you pay more than what is owed but your don’t feel it because it is in small bits of cash. Make an effort to repay more money when Mercury is retrograde three times a year. So every four months you bring down your debt more. With Mercury as you payback planet you may get into discussions about insurance claims and inheritance payouts.

Your risk planet is Neptune

Clearly, or not so clearly, Neptune will bring illusion to your gaming. You may believe that your can beat the house and that is the truth as you see it because Neptune will hide the facts from you. There can be a horrible wake-up moment when Neptune rules your risk appetite. Always take care on the stock exchange and stick to investments in tobacco, alcohol, pharmaceuticals, underwater explorations and sea-going vessels. Never place a bet when you’ve had a drink.

Your entrepreneur planet is Mercury

With the flexible planet Mercury as your entrepreneur planet you can likely have many money making schemes and a few will come to fruition. Pay attention to advertising and marketing of any small business and make sure your message is on track. Avoid bait and switch tactics and keep the product simple to understand. Aim your pitch at the common man and you will do well. Good start-ups for you are anything in communications and teaching like online courses or books. Watch out for the three Mercury retrograde periods every year and stop new initiatives during those moments. Take that time to review what you have already done and produced.

Sagittarius

Archers are cosmopolitan and love anything international. You are open and have a breadth of vision. You are a seeker and are keen to explore the world. You are optimistic and like to live life large. You are forgiving. You can be tactless and plunge in like a large puppy being excited but at the same time it can be disturbing for others. You are the sign of the upwardly mobile and you can bring ethical principles to your life. You have an extensive reach which you may use to gather life’s abundance. You see the horizon as an opportunity to explore as who know if the be dragons there? You have a strong faith and a positive spirit. You can be philosophical and will search far and wide for your truth.

Your income planet is Saturn

Saturn rules your financial life including your earning potential and as this is the planet of limitations you can feel that your earning capabilities are restricted but this is just a way to protect yourself. By saying, “They don’t pay me enough” you are handing the responsibility for you financial situation to others. A better approach is to say, “I value my worth and will earn at my full potential on my own terms.” Don’t settle for a dreary income and tell yourself it is not your fault. It’s time to man up.

Your payback planet is the Moon

You may carry debt that fluctuates over the months. There will be times of massive debt and days when you think you’ve got a grip on it. Be aware that there will always be something that needs to be financed but you don’t have to go for the deal every time. Buy as the Moon waxes and pay down hard when the Moon wanes. Every month at the full Moon look at what you bought, do you want it or do you need it? If you need it keep it, if not consider returning the stuff to the store. Make returns as the Moon reduces in light and the week before the new Moon. Keep an eye out for lower interest rates and move then. You may mirror your mother’s debt habits and this approach needs a good review to see if her methods of debt management serve you today .

Your risk planet is Mars

With your risk planet being Mars you can easily get burnt. Keep a sharp eye on the markets and be ready to sell at a moment’s notice. On the stock exchange buy metals and minerals, defense, arms, munitions and steel. You can do well betting on sports games. Don’t buy lottery ticket in a group but rather purchase them by yourself.

Your entrepreneur planet is Venus

If you start a business it will naturally do well. You may be delighted in what can be achieved with some grace and polish to your business. Spruce up the entrance and get a pretty girl to front for you.

This is a good planet to have as your entrepreneur planet the only thing is you may dawdle before making your move. Never start something new, open a bank account, launch a product, or host a business event when Venus is retrograde.

Capricorn

You enjoy structure, shapes and boundaries. You are responsible, reliable and because of this you can achieve your goals. You have backbone and will respect rank. You admire status and wish to attain it yourself. Of all the signs you can measure concrete results in a mature and serious fashion.

Your income planet is Uranus


Uranus rules your financial life including your earning potential. In a way this is a good thing as Saturn is you Sun ruler and therefore you are used to the controls and restrictions you place on yourself, and it is not a good things as Uranus wants to be the rebel and be the hooligan and when it comes to money this may cause you to spend rashly and on in appropriate things. Uranus urges you towards new and innovative ways of making and spending money.

Your payback planet is the Sun

The Sun as your payback planet suggests that you will manage your debt and owings in a reasonable way. They will neither drown you nor inspire you. They just are. This is a placement for manageable credit card and other debt.

You will likely receive a subsidy, inheritances and insurance payouts if appropriate. You will probably keep ahead of the tax man and not incur any issues there. This planet suggest you can raise a loan with little or no problem.

Your risk planet is Mercury

Watch out for the Mercury retrograde periods and never buy or bet then. Strategy will be the way to go and if you plan your buying and selling on the market carefully you can do well. This placement suggests you may have more than one iron in the fire and you can juggle all your open positions better than most. Be a technical trader. You will be good at puzzles, quizzes and word games and can gain from them.

Your entrepreneur planet is Neptune

There is an old saying that you have to be either a tough guy or a dreamer to be in business and you have both through your Capricorn and the Neptune blend in your entrepreneur planet combination. You may have big dreams of starting a business. You will do well opening a place in the arts, dance and music fields. But whatever micro business you start make good use of video and visual overlays to enhance your brand. Neptune here suggests that a picture says a thousand words and that is the best way to develop your brand. Image is everything here.

Aquarius

Aquarians are concerned with equality and the brotherhood of man. You are generally humanitarian and humane. You are detached and can be objective. At times you are aloof and only seem friendly. You are independent, willful and happy to be unconventional. Being socially aware and progressive you support activism as a catalyst for change.

Your income planet is Neptune

You are lucky to have Neptune rule your financial life including your earning potential. This means that you are optimistic about money and you believe that if you just leave it the Gods will provide. Maybe so, belief is a powerful thing and you may be able to harness it for your money needs. But, for the rest of you water bearers…

There may be times in your life when you think that money does not mean anything and that we can all get along if the money of the world was evened out amongst everyone.

This may be true, but for all Aquarians reading this, you live in paradise as in the Phil Collin’s song, “Another Day in Paradise”. This gives you a chance to do the right thing with your money and any other funds you have control over.

Do not simply give your money away but make sure that what you have does the best it can for yourself, your family, your friends and those around you. You are of the sign that takes, “Think global but act local” to new heights.

Your payback planet is Mercury

Aquarians have the fast planet Mercury as their payback planet. This suggests that you can always bring down debt and what you owe through small incremental payments. To make payments almost daily will attack any large amounts you have. You grew your financial obligations slowly over time and bit by bit is the way to reduce them as well.

Watch out for small amounts and additional costs that bring up prices for things you buy. Interest rates will not be in your favor and this is why you should resist credit cards.

Your risk planet is Mercury

You may spend more time talking about your risk and gambling that actually doing any. On the markets you can benefit as a day trader if you are in and out of the market sharpish. Never leave an open position. Go short as Mercury retrogrades or stay away. You will be a good technical trader where the numbers speak to you.

Buy communications, newspapers and TV stocks. Avoid international trades and currency trades and stay on your national board or exchange. At the casino bet low and small. A multitude of little wins can add up to a substantial amount over time.

Your entrepreneur planet is Jupiter

You can generate a huge following of interested investors who may wish to be part of your plans. Your ideas for business will fly and you will easily create a buzz that can be bigger than the actual product. You will be good in promoting and taking ideas to market.

You and your businesses will appeal to a broad base of the population and any venture you open will have potential. The issue may be that you get bored with your endeavors and let them dwindle. It will be good for you to launch a startup and husband it for a year to eighteen months then sell it on for a profit. This technique frees you up to focus on your next big thing.

Pisces

If you are born under the sign of the Fish it means you fall under the fluid and flowing element of water, the quality of mutability which suggests you are flexible and the passive polarity indicating you will take in and absorb things more than most. This can mean you empathize with others.

If you are Pisces you will make sacrifices and are understanding. You will blend well with others and can be arty. You may drift a bit in life but you have compassion. You are idealistic and can become disillusioned at times. You may be glamorous. You can be vague, kind and will be happy to surrender. You may retreat near the sea and you are spiritual and devoted.

Your income planet is Mars

The red planet Mars rules your financial life including your earning potential.

This can bring Pisceans to earn frequently and be paid quickly. You may think the money will never stop flowing in but there will be lean times as well. You may make rash decisions on how to spend your money and this is likely the root of any financial issues you have. Turn this around and make snappy decisions on how to save for a rainy day and you will see your finances in the correct light.

Every two years during the Mars retrograde period reassess you resume and check out the job market to see if there is something new for you. Every second year is a good time for you to find a new job. You are not likely to remain in one job for years and if you accept this you can be ready when something kicks off.

Your payback planet is Venus

You will probably manage all your credit cards and financial commitments with not much of a problem. In fact you may pay all commitments down early in life (including a mortgage) and never carry debt again.

Venus is a planet that can bestow good things and you will likely benefit from inheritances, insurance payouts and endowment cash. There may always be a small cheque in the post from the tax department. With a little care you can provide well for your retirement and have money at the end of your life.

Your risk planet is the Moon

With the Moon as your risk planet you will have feast and famine times in your gaming and financial risk practices. On the stock exchange buy as the Moon waxes and sell as the Moon wanes unless you are shorting then do the opposite. Buy in the food and beverage sector and farming and waters works.

Your entrepreneur planet is Saturn

Pisces can be timid when it comes to starting a business. You can be held back by fear of failure and this needs to be overcome if you are to build a solid foundation for your business. You may or may not get over this but if you do you can build a well- respected business from the ground up that can endure. It may not be a get-rich-quick scheme but one that brings in regular money as your business earns exactly what it is worth. Any entrepreneurial endeavor will stand the test of time.

Astrology and Trends

Trends are times when it is auspicious to do some things but not others. For instance it may be a good time to start a business that you want to prosper but it may not be a good time to have surgery or buy a pet. Everything has its time and place and there are well known indicators for each thing you may want to do.

Consider the story about the surfers in Hawaii. They go surfing when, “surf’s up” and not at other times when the sea is calm. They also don’t go surfing when the tide is going out. This is a simple way to see the effect of the planets in action and this case it is the Moon.

The Moon makes the tides and there is a high tide and a low tide twice a day. As time goes on each day the tides are at a little different time and over a week they will change dramatically.

People who live on the coast will see the tides going in and out twice a day. If you are a surfer you are looking for the strong incoming tide as the Moon pulls on the waters of the oceans. You can’t surf in if the tide is going out. Similarly you can do some things when the planets that rule that particular thing are well placed and favorable. Each planet rules a part of life and these things are learnt and understood by an astrologer. This is the basis of astrological forecasting, as above so below. Why astrology works I don’t know, but that is does work, I do know. Free will is yours. You live your life and you make your choices.

Artists Charts: Venus and Neptune

Author: Alison Price   –   Updated: March 2025

Artists Charts

I’m not just an astrologer, but I consider myself as a hobby artist and crafter as well. Being creative and expressing yourself (and myself) through art is a great interest of mine.

 

Art in a Chart

When I see creative expression in someone’s chart, I’m keen to let them know even if they are concerned, or bogged down, with their daily grind of work, health, kids and general home life. The two planets most often associated with art are Venus and Neptune which got me thinking about how does Venus and Neptune and their aspects conspire in a birth chart to spark extraordinary creative talent.

 

Not Only…

I’m not saying that Venus and Neptune must be in aspect for you to be artistic, as I believe that everyone is in their own way, but sometimes it just sticks out as a theme in a chart. As humans we are naturally creative and we can think in abstractions. This ability set us apart 300 000 years ago and still does. 

  

How Art Shows Up

You may have your ideas on how art shows up in a chart, but in this newsletter I’m happy to share mine with you. This week I’ll be looking at the charts of five artists, da Vinci, Michelangelo, Munch, Kandinsky and Bernini.

  

Podcast

Join Arwynne and I in this week’s podcast episode as we chat about the potentials between Venus and Neptune and how these planets illuminate the artistic talents of history’s most revered creatives.

Venus and Neptune

Arty Planets

I first want to share how I see this and make a distinction between Venus and Neptune. I believe that Venus, is associated with artistic expressions which can be physically touched like drawings, paintings, sculptures, mosaics and murals. On the other hand, Neptune symbolizes intangible art like dance, singing, music, choreography, film, photography and theatre or the more ethereal qualities of creativity and the emotional depths that art may evoke.

Contrast

This pair of arty planets serve as key indicators of artistic ability, inspiring a deeper exploration into how your understanding of your birth chart. The contrast of these two planets may provide insights into your artistic inclinations and motivations and can unlock hidden creative potentials. Let’s take a look into the connection between your birth chart and artistry, particularly focusing on the roles that Venus and Neptune may play in your birth chart.

What are the Odds?

Benchmark

Okay, so this for my Virgo friends out there…

Let’s just get a bit of a benchmark about how many charts are likely to have an aspect between Venus and Neptune. If we take the orb for a conjunction at 8° and the orb for an opposition at 8°. The orbs for two squares at 8° each, that would be 16°. The orb for two trines at 8° each, that would be another 16°. And the orbs for two sextiles at 4° each, that would be another 8°. This all adds up to (8+8+16+16+8=56) 56° of the zodiac.

Percentage

56 is the number of degrees where an aspect could occur between Venus and Neptune. If we then take 56° as a percentage of 360°, the answer is 15%. Therefore, 15% of all charts, (which is 15 out of every 100 natal charts) will have an aspect between Venus and Neptune. In other words, 15% of the population have an aspect between Venus and Neptune and therefore these people may be inclined to be artistic more than others. 

Note

Also note that some people who are artists do not have an aspect between Venus and Neptune, and I’m only considering Ptolemaic aspects although I do later mention lesser used aspects.

Leonardo Da Vinci

Venus Trine Neptune

Leonardo da Vinci’s, chart contains a harmonious trine between Venus and NeptuneThis aspect suggests an innate artistic temperament, which manifests in his diverse masterpieces. With Venus in her own sign of Taurus and Neptune in Venus’ other sign, Libra, da Vinci’s capabilities to blend beauty with technical skill shine through his works. His painstaking attention to detail as he ground down mediums like lapis lazuli into the perfect pigment attests to the dedication intrinsic to such artistry.

Wassily Kandinsky

Venus trine Neptune

One of my personal favorite artists is Wassily Kandinsky who is a remarkable figure and an innovator of abstract art. With Venus in Sagittarius trine Neptune in Aries, his artistic expressions flowed naturally, allowing him to articulate vivid color palettes and compositions that pushed boundaries. His work represents the evolution of art as a reflection of societal changes, demonstrating how different color and shapes embody various artistic movements and historical contexts.

Gian Lorenzo Bernini

Venus square Neptune

Gian Lorenzo Bernini, the master of Baroque sculpture, brought marble to life with breathtaking emotional intensity. He has Venus in detriment Scorpio square Neptune in Leo

Arwynne believes that his works, such as The Ecstasy of Saint Teresa and David, showcase his unparalleled ability to capture movement, passion and a divine experience in stone. The Ecstasy of Saint Teresa immerses viewers in a moment of spiritual rapture, where the saint’s face conveys both bliss and transcendence. While David is frozen in dynamic action, his body coiled with tension as he prepares to strike.

Michelangelo

Venus quincunx Neptune

Michelangelo’s chart contains a pesky quincunx aspect between his Venus (Aries) and Neptune (Scorpio). This indicating a more tumultuous relationship for the artist and his work. Here, artistic expression comes at a price. 

The struggle for creativity can lead to heightened angst which may be reflected in the raw emotion of his works such as the Sistine Chapel ceiling. The overwhelming pressures Michelangelo faced while working on this monumental project encapsulate the agony of artistic endeavor. I believe this may highlight how challenges can serve as catalysts for greatness.

Edvard Munch

Venus quincunx Neptune

The frenetic energy of Edvard Munch, is shown in his iconic paintings “The Scream.” An examination of Munch’s chart provides insight into how his personal struggles and existential thoughts permeated his works. This energy may have harnessed a visceral response that resonates with us today.

Much like Michelangelo, Munch’s quincunx aspect reveals that artistic expression often emerges from emotional turbulence. The unique blend of despair, anxiety and beauty captured in his art offers a raw portrayal of the human experience.

Extend Yourself

Natal

I encourage you to reflect on your chart.

  

  • Note Venus’ sign, degree and house.
  • Note Neptune’s sign, degree and house.
  • Note your Venus aspect to Neptune if you have one.
  • Do you consider yourself as an artist?
  • Do you have latent artistic talents waiting for exploration?

Extend Yourself Further

Forecast

If you are at all artistic or musical (or you would like to be):

  

  • Find the next progressed Venus aspect to your natal Neptune.
  • Find the next Neptune transit to your natal Venus and if it is a one or 3-hit transit.
  • Write an interpretation of both (above) and consider the signs, houses and aspect involved (500 words each).

Overarch

While not every individual must have a strong aspect between Venus and Neptune to be deemed an artist, recognizing these planetary dynamics can unearth hidden creative potential. 

To bridge the gap between art and your chart, I’d love you to take steps toward expressing your artistry, whether it be through drawing, painting, or pursuing other creative pursuits. These practices will not only bring you joy, but also serve as avenues for some emotional exploration and expression.

I invite you to share your experiences and insights on your artistic journeys. After all, art is a universal language, and understanding its connection to the cosmos can resonate profoundly within each of us, allowing our creative spirits to flourish.

Astro Business End-of-Year Reflection

Astro Business End-of-Year Reflection

Author: Alison Price   –   Published: December 2024

Astro Biz End of Year Reflection

As we come to the end of the year, I think it’s valuable to give an end-of-year reflection on how things went. This is not something I’ve always done, but in the recent years I certainly have. I also find that December can be quite a hectic month with Christmas, holiday social events and family commitments. I prefer to consider my end-of-year reflection in early December. This week I just want to share with you some ideas I have about looking back at 2024 to see how you and I did. The idea is not to beat yourself up about what went down, but rather to acknowledge the highs and lows which happened during the year.

End-ofYear Looking Back

Best Transit

During the course of a year, you will have many transits and of course the ones from the superior and outer planets are more significant, mainly because they linger longer. I like to consider which transit was the best one for me and by best, I mean the one that helped me get things done or brought me some further insights or changed my life in some way.

Jupiter 11th House

Jupiter is a great planet to pay attention to because in general it will spend one year in one of your houses. This does depend on how wide these houses are to start with, but this year I was fortunate to have Jupiter entering my 11th house. This happened back in March when it conjoined Uranus right at the beginning of my 11th house.

Interestingly, my 11th house is the largest one (coupled with its opposite, the 5th) with Placidus house cusps it is 43° wide. I don’t have any planets in my 11th house, but when transits come through, I pay attention. I was particularly interested when Uranus entered there at the tail end of 2023. Then when Jupiter ingressed, that was the actual time when I relaunched the publication of The Starzologer newsletter.

Groups

I am taking the 11th house to represent groups which it does. So from the Jupiter Uranus conjunction right at the beginning of my 11th house it occurred to me that my newsletter subscribers, that’s you {{ subscriber.first_name }}, are my group. Thus far, I’ve been able to publish this newsletter every Sunday and then I stepped up to the additional Thursday edition in August.

This does beg the question, “When Jupiter leaves my 11th house will I continue creating newsletters?” Well, I would hope so because it has allowed me to put into place and grow through the medium of newsletters.

Previously I had, as you know, taught basic astrology classes for over 15 years. At the end of last year, I felt I needed to change and my revitalized newsletter has become that change. It became my way of almost providing a mini lesson every week to my subscribers. The good thing about an e-mail list is that if people don’t want to read it, they simply unsubscribe. But if they do want to consume it and find value, they continue to read and interact with my astrology offerings.

This creates a tight community of attentive people rather than a massive bucket full of random folks who have no interest in astrology, or specifically the astrology I like. I have the North Node in my 3rd house, and I do believe that my destiny is to communicate and teach what I know. I’m not saying I know everything; I sadly don’t know everything about astrology, but I do have some experience and many fresh ideas that I like to share with anyone who is attracted.

Best New Moon

We usually get thirteen New Moons each year and a couple of solar eclipses thrown into the mix. On reflection, I like to see if I can find one New Moon that was more important than all the others. For me it was the solar eclipse on October 2nd as it conjoined my IC and therefore opposed my Midheaven. As we speak, we’re still working our way through the vibrant energies expressed at this solar eclipse and I’ll have more for you later next year about that.

Seasons of Life

Projects

I try to find and reflect upon creative projects which I worked on during that period.

Winter

The winter solar season contains the signs Capricorn. Aquarius. Pisces. As 2024 began, I was highly engrossed on search engine optimization (SEO) and attending to my blog. I spent the first couple of months dumping old articles from 2011 about New Moons from that year which nobody’s ever going to read again. I purged horoscopes written for 2018 that were clogging up my website and making the system slower. I did spend quite a bit of time purging the bulk of old stuff on my website to make the load times faster for you.

Spring

The solar spring season contains the signs of Aries, Taurus and Gemini. My 2024 spring project was actually relaunching this newsletter. Back then I called it The Starzologer and as you may know, we’ve renamed it to Starzlife, which I feels fits better. This took a huge amount of time and energy to get off the ground and to fully understand how to work my newsletter e-mail provider KitAnd to be honest, I’m still learning something new every day. I’m not really using the full features in this program and the learning curve is pretty steep to start with, so a lot of time and energy was poured into that.

Summer

The solar summer season includes the signs of Cancer, Leo and Virgo. I didn’t really have a main business summer project as I had multiple family commitments that popped up. 

This season I was fortunate to spend a period in Mexico with my youngest daughter. I also managed to get away for a break and presentation with some good friends nearby here on the Sunshine Coast in BC, Canada. And I also flew to Toronto for a week for my middle daughter’s second graduation. Additionally, I caught up with my other grown-up children who live there. Cool.

I’ve got to tell you, normally I don’t travel anywhere, but this summer it seemed to be non-stop. I was coming home, unpacking my suitcase, doing the laundry, repacking it and going back out and at the end of the summer season I was absolutely exhausted, but it was all great fun.

Autumn

Then we get into the autumn projects, which is really where we are still now at the moment. Autumn runs through Libra, Scorpio and Sagittarius these are the three signs which the Sun passes through during autumn.

If you are teaching astrology, autumn can be quite busy because you’ve got the back-to-school brigade coming through eager for new lessons. This year, because for the first time this decade I did not teach any classes, it wasn’t an issue for me.

Earlier in Autumn, I launched the paid version of this newsletter, which is with the one you’re reading now that comes out on a Thursday. So far so good. I spend many hours drafting, preparing, writing and researching the content of these newsletters. I do enjoy drawing all the images and diagrams that I pop into each of the editions. I’m using my bold flat colour palette and all the primary colours, red, yellow and blue, which I love.

People First

In life, you don’t spend as much time and energy with everyone you meet. Because you have limited time and energy every day, it’s important that those whom you do focus on are the significant people in your life. This often works itself out quite naturally, if you have children, you attend to them or if you have a partner, you focus to them as well. But some reflection may indicate that perhaps you are spending too much time with some people and not enough time with others.

Example

One instance for this would be if you have a friend who has become a habit to see every week. Perhaps you’re not getting anything from the relationship anymore, but you hang on. Here the value has passed, and it can become draining, or even toxic, on your precious time and energy. Reflection may help.

Ideas

I just want to go through a few of my ideas about making sure that you are sharing your life with the people you’re supposed to be sharing it with and not wasting time with those who do not matter as much.

You

You need to be number one on your priority list. In your chart, you are represented by your first house. If you can’t look after yourself, you can’t look after anybody else. It’s like when you’re in an aeroplane and the oxygen masks drop down and you need to put yours on first before you can turn and help the person in the seat next to you. I believe some time has to be taken on inner work for your mental (air), physical (earth), inspirational (fire) and emotional (water) sides of life. I’m not saying this is easy, but you could use your birth chart and the recent transits as a guide.

In Your Home

The next people you need to care about are those people who live under your roof, those who are in your home, who we see every single day. These are 4th house people, even if they’re not blood relatives. If you have a family, like your kids and your partner, you may have parents living with you or roommates or whoever, but those who live under the same roof you have a very close relationship with. Even in your end-of-year review, it’s a good idea to consider how your interactions are with these people, and maybe even, how can you improve these connections?

Close Family

The next people are your close family. In general, your family is shown through the 4th house. Family tends to be people who you have known since the day you were born, or since the day they were born. These are the people who probably live nearby who you possibly see now and again. For me, I have a daughter who lives 10km from me and I see her every weekend. We like to chat and keep in touch. I don’t know absolutely everything about her life, but we are very close. Every week I text and zoom with my other kids in Toronto, and my sister who lives in Johannesburg. We tend to natter and keep up with what’s going on.

Friends

Friends are shown in the 11th house. If you have a friend, you are fortunate indeed. If you can count your friends on one hand, again, you are fortunate. My definition of friends are anyone who’s seen you in your bare feet because they’ve been around a long time. They’re the ones you’ve been on a picnic with, you’ve had sleepovers with and you’ve seen them at their worst and at their best. These are your friends. Everyone else is an acquaintance.

Acquaintances

Let’s have a look at who are our acquaintances and they’re still 11th house people. To my mind, acquaintances are people who you maybe work with (sometimes they are 6th house people). You see them all the time, you know something about them, you know their name. This also includes, in my case, the doorman at my building, the woman at the local coffee shop who serves me all the time and even my hairdresser (sometimes). They are people whom I know and am on a nodding familiarity with. I know their name, but I really don’t know anything about them. These are 11th house acquaintances.

Clients

Where do your clients fit in? If you’re a practicing astrologer, you will have clients. Astrologically clients are shown through your 7th house of other people. A client is somebody whom you didn’t know by any connection until they approached you one day and said, “Can you do me a reading?” They may have come through via your friends, family or work colleagues, but you haven’t known them forever. Clients go from being someone whom you didn’t know, to someone you do know, as your customer. They are a different level of person, but still 7th house.

Biz Finances

Income

Your business income is any money that you received from sales, sponsors, clients, customers or donations. Any income that you get through your astrology practice is business income and it is shown in the 11th house.

Expenditure

Your business expenditures are everything you have to pay for to be in business. If you’re an astrology practitioner this generally would be things like your website. E-mail, cellphone, stationery and office supplies. Any professional development training you may have taken like astrology conferences or courses, books, software etc. is business expenditure.

Profit/Loss

To calculate your business profit and loss you add up all your income, you minus all your expenditure and you get a number. If it is a positive number, you made of profit and if it is a negative number, you have made a business loss. Simple. On a side note, it seems the tax man is ok for you to have a loss for three years running, but after that, not.

Personal Finances

I’m not a personal finance expert. There are many out there.

One of the first books I read on this topic was Robert Kiyosaki’s, Rich Dad, Poor Dad which really boils personal finances down to – money in and money out. His take on personal finances is very simple.

Assets feed you and liabilities eat you.

Once you get your head around that concept, personal finances are much simpler.

Assets Feed You

Your assets feed you and bring money in. Assets are shown in your 2nd house, and they are things that bring in money, such as real estate, stocks and businesses. Astrologically we include income from a job, money in the bank, royalties, dividends, tips, bonuses and grants.

Liabilities Eat You

Your liabilities eat you and flow money out. Liabilities are shown in your 8th house and they drain money like mortgages, car loans, credit card debt and more. Astrologically we include anything you owe to banks or others.

Net Worth

I like to calculate my net worth at the end of each year it gives me one master number that tells me everything I need to know about each year.

Net worth = Assets – Liabilities

To find your net worth, you add up all your assets, then you add up all your liabilities, now minus the liabilities from the assets and you will get one number. That tells you your net worth.

Example:

Assets + $10000

Liabilities – $9000

Net worth = $1000

Personal Development

Reflect on how each planet may have contributed sto your business success this year.

Sun

The Sun, as a representation of your identity, may be considered in your personal development. Let’s face it, it’s not every year that we’re changing into something else. Many years are very often repeats of the year before and sometimes even decades can be repeats of the decade before, but any individual drive for personal development is likely to come through your Sun.

Moon

The Moon rules reflection and how convenient it is that we are doing an end-of-year reflection today. Consider another theme related to the Moon that of habits, which can be a good way to tap into lunar influences during the course of the year. You may have new habits that you want to develop. For myself it was walking 10,000 steps a day, eating whole foods or cutting out plastics in my home. Ongoing…

There may be some bad habits that you want to get rid of. One of the modern behaviours that comes to mind is this death scrolling on social media. If ever there was a habit that needed shifting, I think this might be it.

The point is that you can look to your Moon to see, and reflect, about how perchance your habits have changed during this year. Perhaps what you were doing as a knee jerk reaction back in January is not what you’re automatically doing now in December.

Mercury

In your end-of-year reflection, Mercury could suggest which books you’ve been reading or journals, you’ve been writing. More generally, it may show how much time you carved out to keep in touch with others.

Venus

Venus is likely to represent the things you’ve invested in this year. It could be both time and money and definitely any major purchases which you made. Clearly, Venus will also suggest your love life and marriage.

Mars

Mars is the action planet in your chart. It is likely show where you’ve actually got off the couch to go and do something. Back this year when Mars was stimulated by transit or progression, are the times when you were perhaps keener to compete or go for gold, in some area of your life.

Jupiter

In your end-of-year review, Jupiter will be the planet that shows where growth has occurred. The Greater Benefic indicates times when you had a vision, and when you raised your eyes to the horizon and speculated about what was over the mountains to wonder if dragons be thereIt shows where you have ventured forth, taken the first step and struck out on new paths in your life.

Saturn

Our old friend Saturn, if triggered by transit or progression, can be the planet that stops you in your tracks to authentically stonewall you. If you have faced severe restrictions or hardships somehow this year, it is possible that the ringed planet Saturn was somehow involved.

Overview: Awareness

Astrology, chart reading and forecasting is all about awarenessSelf-awareness can be supported by doing an end-of-year review. I mean, let’s face it, some years are just better than others. For myself, 2024 has had some challenges, but it contained some high points as well. I do think it’s important to finish up with one year before we start looking towards the next year, which we will do in a couple of weeks.

Money Houses

In astrology, whilst the 2nd house the is main money house, there are three other houses related to your financial situation.

Money Houses

Introduction

In my view and I’ve said this before, there really only ever are two questions about astrology from your clients when they come to you. There’re either questions about love and relationships or money and income. Interesting enough, of course, both of these topics are covered by Venus, but I’m not going down the beautiful planet route this time.

Today I want to explore some ideas which I have about the financial houses within the chart. Traditionally, we look to the 2nd house for income which is correct, but I do believe there are other places where income can show up a chart and I want to chat about these other areas now. I’m going to share with you some of my thoughts about how you can genuinely explore financial situations as shown in a chart.

Four Money Planets

In astrology you may be a Virgo Ascendant and therefore be ruled by Mercury in general, but within that there are different planets which rule various areas of your life or rule the houses. Your money planets cover one area in particular. Each chart has different money planets depending on where the money comes from or where it is going as seen by the houses.

Your four special money planets are:

  • Your income planet
  • Your payback planet
  • Your risk planet
  • Your entrepreneurial planet

Financial Levels of Life

These four planets can be seen as levels of your financial life. They go deeper as you go from the first one to the fourth one.

Income Planet: 2nd House Ruler

Your income planet is always used. We all have and need money to pay the rent and buy food and this money comes from somewhere.

Payback Planet: 8th House Ruler

Your payback planet can be managed over time. Most people will use and or struggle with this planet and some folks will even master it.

Risk Planet: 5th House Ruler

Your risk planet may or may not be stimulated. It is clear that only some people will use this planet. Each person’s appetite to take a chance with money will be shown by their risk planet.

Entrepreneurial Planet: 11th House Ruler

Your entrepreneurial planet may never be used, but for those of you who do feel the urge to go it alone and start a business, this planet is waiting for you in the wings.

Levels

You do not have to use all your money planets. Most people only work with the first two money planets of basic earning and owing, or money in and money out. You may have the same planet for two of your money planets (sometimes Mercury or Jupiter) and this is fine as it reinforces that particular planet in your financial life.

In a case like this you can pay special attention to any money planet that covers two areas. These money planets are associated with the four broad types of income and expenditure which you can experience. In total they express your full financial life and the urges and fears that you may experience surrounding money.

money-planets

2nd House Ruler: Income Planet

Income

Your income planet covers the usual form of income for most people which is a job. It shows the nature of your earnings from regular work whether part-time or full time and for which you are paid regularly. You can have more than one job at a time. All regular and aboveboard income, including bonuses, tips and gratuities earned at work, will come through your main income planet.

Spending

This planet shows what you spend your money on and what you invest in. It suggests how you look after money.

For example

  • Is your cash neatly tucked into your wallet with all the bills facing upright or are they scrunched up and scattered on the bedside table with screwed-up banknotes and random coins on the floor?
  • Do you accept or reject torn and dirty currency, and do you respect your money?

Credit

Your income planet suggests what your credit rating and FICO score is. It indicates the credit you can raise and how much you can potentially borrow. It does not show the money owed only the potential funds you can raise because people and banks feel comfortable lending to you and wish to invest in you.

Wealth Potential

It shows pledges you can raise on sites like Kickstarter and the like. This planet indicates any collateral you have available to finance more money. It indicates your wealth potential. Your income planet shows your net worth when it is positive.

8th House Ruler: Payback Planet

Debts

Your debts and money that you owe to others like your credit cards, mortgages, student loans, lines of credit or that $50 you borrowed from your brother last night is shown by your payback planet. If you live debt free and pay everything on time you have reached and successfully navigated the second money planet. Your payback planet covers all scholarships and bursaries for education or housing received that you have to pay back.

Payouts

Your payback planet covers all insurances for which you have been paid out. It rules all annuities being forwarded to you. Insurances and annuities were originally paid for by you, or someone else, but when you are paid out, they come back to you as income. You never receive an insurance payout unless someone paid something up front.

Donations

Your payback planet indicates where you give contributions and donate to others for leverage. It shows where you spend money to buy influence over other people as in political donations.

Taxes

It indicates your relationship with the tax man, tax audits and all monies you owe and receive from him. Again, if you did not originally receive income from your day job, or received interest or win the lottery, you would not owe tax on said income.

Pressure

Your payback planet indicates any graft, bribes or backhanders that you accept. It shows income from illegal and under-the-table activities. Your payback planet shows your net worth when it is negative.

5th House Ruler: Your Risk Planet

Vulnerability

Your third money planet is your risk planet. This may not be used much if you do not like risk and is shown by the planet that rules risk in your chart. Some people will never gamble, play the stock exchange, buy a lottery ticket or bet at the tote and therefore they may never use their risk planet.

Stock Exchange

Any speculative income from stocks or bonds or other financial instruments on the stock exchange including futures, indices and foreign exchange trading comes under your risk planet.

Gambling

This planet also rules gambling and lottery wins and all casino and gaming wins or losses. It covers any gains in an office draw, sweepstake or competition you entered. All games of chance and where you place bets like horse racing, dog racing and sports bets come under the auspices of your risk planet. Your nighttime online poker game is suggested by your risk planet.

11th House Ruler: Entrepreneur Planet

Empire-building

Your entrepreneur planet is the least used money planet. Many folks never use this planet because they do not ever have their own business. But if you do create a business and you have a vison of building your empire through world domination, whatever that means to you, this is when your entrepreneur planet will come into its own.

Business Income

Your entrepreneur planet rules all income from a business that you started yourself. This includes any nano, micro or small business which you began alone or with partners. In general, as the ruler of the 2nd (income) from the 10th house (what you do in the world), this planet probably does not show income from a commercial venture which you just acquired from someone else. It shows income from any company that you built.

For example:

  • If you knit hats or make wooden bird houses and sell them at a flea market on a Saturday morning, that income is shown by your entrepreneur planet.

Honors Income

It also indicates income from honors you have received like the cash you got from your Nobel Prize or grants or gifts from the government that do not need to be repaid.

Overview

Step1: Financial House Rulers

When considering finances in a client’s chart, one way of doing it is looking at the financial house rulers. As we have seen these are the rulers of the 2nd, the 8th, the 5th and the 11th houses.

Step 2: Planets as a Financial House Ruler

This is about the time when you start to realize that you need to consider each planet when it is one of the financial houses ruler.

Step 3: Financial House Tenants

You also have to consider any planets within these houses as they will definitely influence the way money is approached within somebody’s life.

Step 4: Venus and Pluto

It would be remiss of me not to mention the two planets that generally rule the natural 2nd and 8th houses, which are of course Venus and Pluto. As a broad stroke, Venus will rule earned money coming in, and Pluto will rule money committed and going out. To understand Venus and Pluto you have to do a full planetary complex of both of these planets.

Step 5: Start Here

But for a starting point, explore at the four money house planetary rulers for a broad overview of the financial landscape in someone’s chart.

What Each Sun Sign Wants in the Workplace – for Employers

What Each Sun Sign Wants in the Workplace – for Employers

by Alison Price

What Each Sun Sign Wants in the Workplace

In astrology the Sun shows what you want. Each Sun sign has specific wants that they naturally strive towards. When we consider how each sign can benefit you as an employer it makes sense to take a look at what each sign wants so you can place each person in the correct role in your company.

Aries

Aries wants to be first. They are keen to lead a team and be the front man and the go-getter. Rams want to make a difference and leave their mark, or two, at work. They can easily drive, encourage and push workers to reach their own potential. They are the natural entrepreneurs of the zodiac. Mars ruled folk love to start projects.

Taurus

Taurus wants to produce things. They are happy for situations to remain the same. Bulls can work on consistent projects with results. They will establish valuable resources for the company and are adroit at managing business finances. Taurus is reliable, will stay put, be at their desk and build productivity.

 





Gemini

Gemini wants to communicate information to anyone who will listen. They are great at interviewing and educating the workforce. Twins can translate concepts that lesser mortals struggle to see. They happily give knowledge, and they know all the office gossip. They will network with all and sundry and question ideas.

Cancer

Cancer wants to care. They can easily step into the role of the office mother. Crabs are the most comfortable sign for working at home. In the workplace they make other employees feel safe and create a welcoming environment. They will lead from behind as they protect and nourish the staff. They love to cultivate both people and companies.

Leo

Leo wants to inspire others. They easily develop younger members, youth and children. Lions shine at work and can birth ideas that benefit the business. They are the perfect person to tackle one-off projects of which they can be proud. They will take risks and are not usually shy to show their style at work. The Sun ruled will support and mentor younger people as they create projects.

Virgo

Virgo wants to serve. They are the best administrators of the zodiac. Virgins gladly assist on projects that are led by others. They are the best troopers in the office. They will stand behind and support others thus they make ideal assistants. They can analyze things and will give credit where it is due. They may be accused of micromanaging, but they will always help others with daily activities.

Libra

Libra wants to work with others. They straightway need to be social at work. The Scales will be an excellent silent partner for the other pushy signs. They make great mediators and are often found in human resources departments. Libra strives for an equitable work/life balance. They want to find win-win situations and negotiate results.

Scorpio

Scorpio wants to be an angel investor. They are attracted to research in all its forms. Scorpions make the best human resources terminator which is often a role that others do not want. They manipulate situations to be the power behind the throne. They will uncover problems and purge weak people, projects and trappings from the workplace.

Sagittarius

Sagittarius wants to be a visionary. They can immediately see the overarching company direction and guide other towards the light. Archers easily realize the big picture. They are brilliant at reaching out worldwide to grow the company. They will encourage others to explore different approaches utilizing global techniques.

Capricorn wants to be in charge. They can easily solidify and formalize company structures. Sea Goats strive to build succession so they themselves can move up. They can prepare rules for systems and methods to aid productivity. They are the gatekeepers and will enforce commercial regulations, maintain dress codes and establish businesses.

Aquarius

Aquarius wants to innovate. They are the thought leaders of the zodiac. Water Bearers can use computer systems and will keep the company up-to-date with technology. They are happy to be one of the boys and to be seen as part of a group. They welcome newcomers to the office and embrace new ideas, projects and inventions.

Pisces

Pisces wants to be artistic. They are keen to be in the backroom and may be a recluse. Fish are in tune with others and can intuitively find solutions to problems. They empathize with co-workers. They can happily work behind the scenes quietly making progress. They are the best sign to understand the underlying office energy and are aware of atmospheres and elusive behavior.

 





 

10 Job Seeking Tips when Mercury is Retrograde

10 Job Seeking Tips when Mercury is Retrograde

10 Job Seeking Tips When Mercury is Retrograde

You may have heard something about Mercury retrograde and wondered what it is and what is does, and what to do and what not to do, or you may have even thought, “So what?”

If you are interested in finding a job or growing your career, see what to do when Mercury is retrograde, so you can make the most of every moment.

 

Planetary Energy

To make the best use of planetary energy it is all about going with the flow and that means taking the meaning of the planet and noticing if it is holding up a “stop” or “go” sign.

One example of planetary energy that you can see is the Moon and the tides. The Moon pulls the waters of the Earth and creates two high tides and two low tides each day. As each day moves on the times for the tides constantly changes. But every day there will be two incoming tides and two outgoing tides.

It is at the incoming tide that you can yell “Surf’s up!” and trot down to the beach to practice your surfing. Well if you live on the coast and have a surf culture perhaps like in Hawaii, but you get the picture. You can only surf when the tide is coming in. There is no point in paddling out to hope to surf in if the tide is going out. Right?

 

About Mercury

Each year Mercury will be retrograde three times at around four-month intervals and for about three weeks each time. Each year the dates are different.

You can find the exact dates when Mercury will be retrograde for the next few years below. You can mark these dates in your calendar now and lock out this special time.

 

About Retrogrades

Apparent retrograde is the optical illusion of something going backward and in this case, it is the planet, Mercury. Imagine you are on a train and moving along at a fair pace then suddenly you come upon another train on the next track.

The other train is going slower than you are so your train overtakes it but the other train seems to be going backward. Both trains are driving forward but one seems to be going in reverse. That is the illusion of retrogradation.

That a planet is retrograde can be interpreted as a time to change the pace and adjust your approach to things. When a planet is not retrograde it is direct.

 

Mercury’s Upcoming Retrograde Periods

2024

During April 1st to 25th from 27° Aries to 15° Aries.

During August 5th to August 28th from 4° Virgo to 21° Leo.

During November 26th to December 15th from 22° Sagittarius to 6° Sagittarius.

Mercury Retrograde Element Focus

Mercury’s current retrograde signs are mainly the Fire signs (Sagittarius, Aries and Leo) for 2024.

Mercury Rules

Communication

Every planet rules different things in life. Mercury rules communication, writing, signing, meetings, learning, schools, trading, auctions, merchants, agents and middlemen.

 

Trade

In everyday life, this means all your shopping, buying and selling, texts, phone calls, emails and general chatting, as well as gossip, comes under Mercury’s influence.

 

Workplace

In the workplace, Mercury covers resumes, recruiters, interviews (by phone and in person). Mercury can influence your LinkedIn profile although Saturn has a lot to say about that as well.

 

Paperwork

Mercury also is concerned with paperwork and anything you sign, like a job offer. It is also concerned with the fine print which during a retrograde period is more of a focus and you should read it all.

 

Mercury Retrograde Sequence

There is a sequence in each retrograde cycle and five main parts:

 

  1. Mercury enters the pre-shadow period of about ten days before the actual retrograde starts.
  2. Mercury stations retrograde.
  3. The retrograde period itself, usually 3 weeks.
  4. Mercury stations direct.
  5. The after-shadow time of about a week and a half after Mercury has been retrograde.

 

Phew.

 

Before Mercury goes Retrograde

Before Mercury goes retrograde and is direct do the following:

  • Write your resume crafted for each specific job.
  • Compose targeted cover letters.
  • Apply for jobs via email and snail mail.
  • Call companies on the phone.
  • Reach out to your contact list and tell them you are looking for work.
  • Take the initiative to let your family, friends, and others know you are searching for a new job.
  • Start a short course on something you need in your job to build your marketable skills.
  • Join professional societies and attend Meetups in your field.
  • Create and develop your LinkedIn profile.
  • Accept initial interviews.
  • Sign job offers.

 

All of the above should be done when Mercury is not retrograde and preferably not in its shadow period.

Mercury Retrograde

When Mercury is retrograde do the following:

  • Revise your resume.
  • Refresh any cover letters.
  • Get your filing up to date of jobs for which you have already applied.
  • Write a list of companies and people with whom to follow up and contact them again.
  • Research current thinking in your industry.
  • Set up alerts for leads.
  • Schedule second interviews (phone and in person).
  • Review job offers.
  • Prepare your paperwork for jobs you plan to apply for after Mercury is retrograde as you wait for it to go direct.

 

Revisit projects

During Mercury retrograde periods you can follow up and work on things that you have already done when Mercury was direct.

 

Don’t start new things when Mercury is retrograde because if you do, they will most likely be reversed when Mercury goes direct.

Sometimes you have no choice because a job advert or interview comes up when Mercury is retrograde and you need a job so you have to go. In these instances be aware that the terms will change.

As Mercury goes direct after the retrograde period, and if you did apply for a job or had an interview during the retrograde time, you can expect to return again and again for further interviews, or the job itself is shelved, or the job is morphed into something else altogether.

 

When Mercury is retrograde, avoid starting new things because if you do, you will have to review them later as Mercury goes direct.

Recruiters

Companies usually act in good faith when they place an advert for an opening in their business. The effect of Mercury retrograde changes the terms or the agreement and thus they may no longer need the person that they were originally looking for when Mercury was retrograde.

This cuts both ways for people looking for work and recruiters. Companies and career consultants are better off only placing vacancy adverts when Mercury is direct and communications are clear.

If a recruiter seeks a candidate during the retrograde period they will have to spend three times as long emailing back and forth and interviewing people who cancel and can’t make it to the interview for whatever reason.

All of this time-consuming effort is due to the Mercury retrograde effect which impacts communications, trade and agency.
