In planetary astrology wealth is indicated in many different ways. The most popular way to look at this is the planet Venus. Venus rules what we value and is linked to the second house ruled by Taurus. This is the house of values, how we value ourselves (self esteem) and whatever planet we have in that house will be what we put value in purchasing. The second house is not only how you make money but also what you do with your money.

Mars is about drive, it’s what gets us out of bed in the morning. It rules the adrenals and libido. A healthy libido function in a male shows that he is vibrant and healthy. A key indication of health issues is when ones libido is in decline. Men need to pay attention to this. Any medications that inhibit libido function will indicate we are on the road to chronic disease. Full chart readings will show how Mars is aspected and how to best harness the forces of the planet.

Richard Tarnas in his book Cosmos and Psyche summarises Venus as follows: the principle of desire, love, beauty, value, the impulse to attract and be attracted, to love and be loved, to seek and create beauty and harmony, to engage in social and romantic relations, sensuous pleasure, artistic and aesthetic experience, the principle of Eros and the beautiful, Aphrodite, the goddess of beauty and love.

Pluto is associated with the principle of elemental power, depth, intensity. It intensifies anything it touches sometimes to overwhelming and catastrophic extremes. It rules the primordial instincts, destructive and regenerative cycles, life and death as well as power struggles. Pluto impels burns, consumes, transfigures and resurrects. In mythology Pluto is the god of the underworld.

Most people are familiar with the Saturn return cycle in astrology which occurs around the twenty eight to thirty years of age. The Jupiter return occurs every twelve years in astrology. This coincides with the year we are born in Chinese astrology.

The psychological function of Chiron is to help us understand our ability to integrate our sense of alienation and woundedness in order to take place in the world.
