ANALYZING

FINANCIAL POSITION IN A HOROSCOPE

Our objective is to identify the potential sources of wealth for a person, through his/her birth chart. Application of the knowledge of identifying the planetary influences will help us to see how to take better advantage of one's birth planets. We will take up this study by applying the principles and techniques of the “Systems’ Approach for Interpreting Horoscopes”. Then we will see how to identify the strong areas in one’s chart where one should spend more energy to attain better financial results. We will also identify which are the weak areas where one should try to avoid wasteful investment of time and energy. We will also examine the measures that everyone can use for harnessing the financial sources through (i) identifying the favorable planetary periods and transit influences; and (ii) improving the planetary strengths for individuals through astral remedies. 

We have to make use of opportunities in life by being in the right place at the right time. We have to endeavor in our professional ventures with due courage. It is imperative that we develop the understanding for achieving timely and better results. We have to analyze the cost and benefit of the opportunities. We have to analyze the chances of our success as every opportunity may not be viable. We have to see that we have the resources for the requirements of the opportunity.  We have to judge our experience and capability for being successful.  Besides the worldly wisdom, we have to make use of the benefits from divine wisdom by analyzing the planetary influences in our birth chart.

People become wealthy through their intellectual pursuits, professional pursuits, inheritance, manipulations of law, through sudden gains, etc. Astrology helps in understanding whether or how a person can harness the financial resources.  

The planets bless with their results as per their strength in their sub periods.  In addition to the natal planetary influences, we have to consider the transit influences as they supersede the natal sub-period results. The planets are strong, weak and/or afflicted. The strong planets bring good results and progress. The weak planets cause delays, problems, depression, denials, disappointments and tragedies. The influence of planets ruling bad houses on other planets makes them afflicted planets. Short term obstructions and problems are produced from the transit movement of planets.

After analyzing the planetary influences in the birth chart with the help of predictive techniques, we can find out the way to avert the malefic influences or enhance the good-effects of our different karmas, so that we may augment our financial resources.

FACTORS DETERMINING FINANCIAL RESOURCES OF THE INDIVIDUAL

1. Family

2.Economic situation of the country in which a person is born.

3. Education

4. Professional Venture

5. Relationships

6. Risk Orientation

7. Impact of planets ruling gains

8. Impact of planets ruling losses

9. Operating planetary periods 

Depending upon the ascending signs, the financial pursuits of individuals change.  The level of professional pursuits is dependent upon the strength of the planets. The professional pursuits are ruled by the planets as per their strength and their mooltrikona sign house in their operating planetary influences. People born with strong planets ruling the second and fifth houses go in for professional education and work in intellectual fields.  People born with strong planets ruling the eighth, fourth or ninth houses go in for business ventures through investments of family wealth.  Those born with strong planets ruling the third and first houses or strong planets in the third house go in for entrepreneurial enterprises or in marketing or in media. Individuals born with strong afflictions to the second, third, fourth or tenth houses incur business losses, debts, etc. Phenomenal growth is indicated by the strong influence of a functional benefic Sun or Sun-like planet on the most effective point of a house or the influence of Rahu on strong and well-placed planets.

Rahu generates greed and thus the person loses foresightedness, focuses on immediate and short term gains, encroachments and gets duped in the long run. The strong influence of Rahu or Rahu-like planets on weak planets or on the ascendant or third or fifth or tenth or eleventh house involve people in speculation and high risk activities, gambling, bribery, corrupt practices,  illicit means of income and politics which may cause sudden financial losses or legal complications or loss of reputation. Such people become prey to the manipulations in the financial markets. They cannot see through the manipulative rosy pictures painted by the manipulators and thus get swindled. Even popular governments in order to induce investments get engaged in such policies and framework which become manipulative in the end. The dishonest businessmen make use of loopholes in government policies. Such dishonest businessmen keep on growing while people and the banking industry keep on incurring losses. So, the people have to be very careful and they should let go of the temptations for easy gains to save themselves and save their own resources. Such insights can be gained through the planetary influences in one's chart. Those, who have a strong influence of functional malefic planets in their birth charts and especially on the houses ruling assets and business ventures, should concentrate on their jobs and avoid investments.

Let us see a few examples:

Example Chart 5

This person has been an officer with government and is believed to have been involved in earning through questionable means. The lord of the eleventh house is strong but becomes weak as it is under the exact affliction of  Rahu and Ketu.

Example Chart 6

This person has also been an officer with government and is believed to have been involved in earning through questionable means. The Sun becomes weak as it is under the exact affliction of  Rahu like planet, Mercury. Rahu also afflicts the most effective point of the third house.

Example Chart 7

This person has also been an officer with government and is believed to have been involved in earning through questionable means. The Moon and the Sun are under the exact affliction of  Rahu.

One incurs debts due to weakness of the sixth house or the link of the lord of the third or first houses with the sixth house. One incurs setbacks and obstructions due to impact of the lord of the eighth house on the houses ruling professional and business ventures or due to placement of planets ruling professional and business ventures in the eighth house.  One incurs losses due to impact of the lord of the twelfth house on the houses ruling professional and business ventures or due to placement of planets ruling professional and business ventures in the twelfth house.  The planets in the twelfth, ninth or seventh houses take people to foreign lands/distant places. People succeed if the planets are strong and find difficulties if the planets or houses are afflicted.

Through preventive astral remedies or through appropriate action in the present and in the future we can mitigate the results of inappropriate actions of the past lives. And this is valid for all areas of our life that we aspire to improve, including having more financial resources. A two-way application of astral remedies is administered after diagnosing the problematic planetary influences in a chart. Firstly, the strength is provided to the weak functionally benefic planets. The strength can be provided by various methods e.g. gems, color therapy, Kavach or a Special Power Kavach (the protective shield containing mystical numbers of the functional benefic planets) in an auspicious time. Secondly, the malevolence of the functionally malefic planets is mitigated by offering propitiatory charities concerning the functional malefic planets. The two-way application helps in reducing the impact of malefic planetary influences to a large extent. The preventive use of astral remedies is much more useful than the curative astral remedies. Predicting the future is one part of the story in the case of Astrology while remedial measures is the essence, which helps us in providing an umbrella during rainy days. Astrology offers help in the form of astral remedies. Regarding those who do not want to do astral remedies, there is little which can be done for such people except telling them the impact of planets in their birth charts.
