Aporisms concerning wealth - compiled by Deborah HouldingGENERAL INDICATIONS:
According to Ptolemy, material wealth is judged only by the Part of Fortune. Its dispositor and the relationship between them determines the degree of wealth, as does the aspects of the planets to these places. If they are essentially dignified, favourably aspected and well placed, the native will be rich - particularly if aided by the aspects of the luminaries.
According to Lilly, the principal significators for wealth in the nativity are:
the sign on the 2nd house cusp and its ruler;
the ruler of any intercepted sign in the 2nd;
the Part of Fortune and its dispositor;
Jupiter, a general significator for wealth;
Any planets located in the 2nd house.
Saturn, as the significator of wealth, indicates gain from agriculture, all forms of mining, property, shipping, buried treasure, antiques, lead, leather, things made of bone, and inheritance from parents.
Jupiter signifies gain from trustees, guardianships, benefices, religion, government, law, banking and tin.
Mars signifies gain from controversies, lawsuits, military endeavours, valiant actions, work involving iron or fire, horses, theft and butchery.
