Why financial astrology?

As a neurodivergent individual and an astrologer, I have always been invested in alternative ways of looking at time and money--two things that are innately connected to your natal chart. While astrology is a valuable tool for inhabiting time in a more neurodivergent-friendly way, it's also an extremely powerful method when applied to your money. There are many, many clues about the nature of your relationship to resource and how that has shaped your financial decisions throughout your life, all hiding in plain sight within your birth chart.

Even if you are new to astrology, or have never considered applying astrology to your finances before, you can learn about how you approach money in general as well as the income-earning methods that are the most suited for your particular celestial makeup. Keep reading and I will show you how to get started.

If you've never pulled up your birth chart before, you can generate an accurate birth chart on a myriad of websites--just make sure you find a site that generates circular charts, not just a square list of placements. The sign following your ascendant (also called your rising sign) is your second house, and this is the primary place in the birth chart where you can find information about how you relate to money.

The sign in your second house (and the planet which rules that sign) is indicative of the types of attitudes, beliefs, patterns, habits, and concepts about money that you formed early on in life. It's also indicative of the ways in which you approach and handle money as an adult, whether consciously or subconsciously, and it illustrates the nature of your relationship to self-worth--AKA your self-image. But mostly, the second house is the main part of the birth chart that you look to when you are beginning an exploration of personal financial astrology.  

So, once you're equipped with this information, what can you do with it? Each planet has a financial “strategy,” or a word that best describes how you can invoke them in your financial matters. These strategies came to me through careful observation while giving more than 60 financial astrology readings in the last year. For example, the primary financial strategy of Mars is preparation, so if you have Aries or Scorpio in your second house, your money is best utilized when you're being proactive with it. The primary financial strategy of the Moon is maintenance, so if you have Cancer in your second house, your money is best utilized when you're using it to nurture recurring needs.

Navigating money as a neurodivergent person means being willing to try unconventional methods to achieve your goals, and although astrology has exploded in popularity in the last few years, it's still not commonly utilized in personal financial planning and decision-making. Much of how astrology gets applied to money is on a wider scale, looking at market trends and crypto fluctuations. This is a different breed of financial astrology; here is where it gets intensely personal.
