Money

Astrology seems to have answers for just about everything, and money is no exception. One of the questions I hear most often from clients (apart from love) is about their finances. It’s such a hot topic, and over the years I’ve seen how differently it can show up in people’s charts. Everyone has their own unique money story.

Indicators

In this piece, I’m going to focus on the two main financial planets. When I look at these in a chart, alongside other money indicators, I often see patterns that really resonate with clients and help them understand their relationship with money in a whole new way.

Financial Planets

The two main financial planets are Venus and Pluto.

Money in

Venus is the natural ruler of the second house which is the traditional house for money. This house is also associated with Taurus. Venus rules Taurus.

Money Out

Pluto is the second important financial planet. Pluto rules your commitments, outgoings or debts through the eighth house which in the natural wheel is associated with Scorpio. Pluto rules Scorpio.

Venus Pluto Aspects

If the two financial planets, Venus and Pluto, have an aspect between them it bodes well for your finances. They will work together through the aspect.

Applying or Separating Aspects

In general, Ptolemaic aspect have an orb of 8° and 4° for a sextile. Venus as the faster if the two planets, will either be applying or separating from an aspect with Pluto.

Applying

The situation has as yet to come to a head. Wait

Separating

When Venus is separating from an aspect to Pluto the situation has passed. It could be that the moment has gone.

Disassociate Aspects

Always consider if Venus and Pluto, when in an aspect with each other, are disassociate as this weakens the bond. This used to be called out of sign aspects.

Example

If Venus is at 28° Libra and Pluto is at 2° Scorpio they are in a disassociate conjunction.

Transits of the Financial Planets

It’s always interesting to look at what is coming up with the transits.

Transiting Venus

Natal chart

When Venus transits your second house you are more likely to get a monetary boost. When Venus conjoins the ruler of your second house you are likely to get financial benefits in some way.

Global Money Flow

When Venus is direct, money flows positively. When Venus is retrograde, money can be stalled and interest rates will likely hold or fall.

Transiting Pluto

Natal charts

When Pluto transits your eighth house you will have to attend to your debts. This is the time to transfer your commitments and pay down what you owe.

Global Debts

When Pluto is direct lending scan be a regular part of life. When Pluto is retrograde avoid taking on extra credit and loans. Watch out as interest rates will probably rise and kill you. Avoid signing mortgage contracts when Pluto is retrograde.

Overarch

Financial Planets

Venus and Pluto are often considered the key financial planets in astrology. Together, they can reveal valuable insights about your overall relationship with money, resources and security as shown by your chart.

Venus reflects how you attract wealth, what you value and your natural ability to create abundance.

Pluto brings depth and transformation, showing where financial power struggles, hidden resources or opportunities for regeneration may emerge.

By looking at both of the financial planets in your chart, you can gain a clearer picture of your monetary patterns, strengths and the deeper lessons tied to your ultimate prosperity.
