Wealth
The natal horoscope is a portrait of a person’s life. Health, Wealth, Career and Marriage are the major issues which are of concern to all of us. Today we are living in a materialistic society, therefore, Wealth gets prime importance to everybody. For getting all comforts, we need money in abundance.
There are various ways by which a person can acquire wealth. Some people are born with silver spoon in their mouth and they get all comforts by virtue of luck or Raj yogas in their horoscope. Some people work hard, some use their intelligence, some resort to black marketing, smuggling and all sorts of illegal means to get wealth.
The 2nd and 11th houses are mainly responsible for finance. Lagna, 9th and 5th houses also play important roles. Even 10th house, Jupiter and Moon are important for finance.
The person is a pauper ever since his birth and lives by alms if the lords of the 2nd and 11th houses are placed in 6, 8 or 12 along with malefics. The association or affliction of 6th, 8th or 12 house destroy the ambitious effects of wealth or dampen the financial prospects. The lord of 2nd with lord of 9th occupying the 11th with Moon and Jupiter will make a native a millionaire. Lord of Lagna in a decent position is itself a great asset which sustains a person throughout his life. The best place for Lagna Lord to occupy is the Lagna itself. Even strong Sun at a benefic place from the lord of Ascendent is a great asset.
The 2nd house itself, lord and Jupiter represent accumulated wealth. The association of the 1st, its lord and the sun with the second and its lord increases the natives wealth through his own efforts. If the 9th, its lord and the significators Sun and Jupiter are related to them, wealth is inherited. According to the Bhavarth Ratnakar, the native is rendered poor if the 2nd lord occupy the 12th and 12th lord is placed in the Lagna aspected by a Marak or a malefic planet.

According to the Sarvartha Chintamani, if a benefic occupy 11th house, the native gets wealth through honest and novel means. If the malefic is in the 11th house, the native resorts to unfair and unscrupulous methods of earning. The source of gains and incomes can be known through the nature of the planet from the Bhavas related to the 11th, its lord and its significators. For example 7th lord and its Karak Venus associated with 11th may help the native to gain through the spouse.
The 9th house represents fortunes and, therefore, if the 9th house, its lord, Sun and Jupiter are strong and associated with good houses, planets, luck favours the native with financial prosperity. When the 9th lord is placed in the 1st house of Lagna lord is in 9th house, the native is a self made person.
The 10th house is to be examined regarding native’s professional and financial opportunities as it rules livelihood. If the 10th house and its lord and the significators (Sun, Jupiter, Saturn and Mercury) are strong, the native occupy a respectable occupation which helps in improving the financial status.
