Business Astrology

Planets that rule houses of wealth should be well placed.

• The Lord of the eleventh house gives good income, particularly that through our friends, associations and greater goals in life.
• The Lord of the ninth gives good luck, the favor of the government or other established authorities.
• The Lord of the fifth gives gain through speculation, like stocks and bonds, or good advice.
• The Lord of the fourth gives gains through property, vehicles and fixed assets.
• onal efforts or work we do with our own hands or with our speech.
• The Lord of the tenth gives social recognition, status and prestige.

Planets that rule houses of poverty should not be strong.

• The lord of the twelfth gives high expenses and causes loss.
• The lord of the sixth gives enmity, legal difficulties and disease.
• The lord of the eighth creates obstacles, oppression and alienation.
• The lord of the seventh makes us dependent and is not good for leadership roles.

The lords of the third, sixth and eleventh houses can make us aggressive and cause us to act too hastily and without the right foundation. Hence, initial success may be followed by a fall. This is particularly true of the lords of the third and sixth. The lord of the eleventh may give wealth but we may be too impulsive or aggressive in using it and may lack the ethical outlook to make it a positive force in the world.

Planets that rule houses of wealth are strong if they are placed in their own signs or exaltation. They are also strong if placed in an angle from the Ascendant or the Moon. The lord of the eleventh in the tenth house is good for income through career. It is additionally good if they have an exchange or association with the Lord of the Ascendant. The lord of the second with the ascendant lord is good for income through one's work.

There should be associations or exchanges between the lords of houses of wealth. The lord of the ninth, for example, is good in the eleventh and the lord of the eleventh is good in the ninth. This gives good luck and favor from authorities. The lord of the second in the eleventh is good for income through one's work, as is the lord of the eleventh in the second. The lord of the fifth in the eleventh shows income through stocks or speculative ventures, as does the lord of the eleventh in the fifth. The lord of the fourth in the eleventh is good for property income, as is the lord of the eleventh in the fourth.

There should not be exchanges between the lords of houses of wealth and those of houses of poverty. If the lord of the second is in the twelfth and the lord of the twelfth is in the second, this is a strong yoga for poverty. Similarly, it is not good if the lord of the sixth is in the fifth or the lord of the fifth is in the sixth, or if the lord of the ninth is in the eighth or vice versa.
