I know Venus/Jupiter will do this too. I have the opposition and yes, I've never really been in want of cash... my parents paid for college, etc.

I know a guy who has always had an ugly relationship with his parents, at least emotionally... but materially, he's never been in want. His parents are filthy rich. They spoil their children, who are now adults. Money/possessions always plopped into my friend's lap. They bought him a condo, for example. He's never had to work much to survive, but since he wants to stop feeling obligated to his parents, he's trying hard to support himself by other means. He's 27 now.

I don't know his ASC, but he has Venus in Gemini and Jupiter in Virgo. Any ideas on the ASC/house placements?

I don't think finances always spoil a person.. It depends on the person.

Is he of a European background by any chance? It's quite common in Europe for parents (specially if they are rich) to buy their children their first car and possibly their first house.. and also pay for college/uni etc. It isn't meant to be a negative thing though. It's kind of circular because the kid then grows up and does the same for his/her own children. It's a traditional family cycle thing I guess..

Still, he's 27!! Lol .. It usually ends before 27 I'd say.. It reminds me of 'My Big Fat Greek Wedding'�, where she is 30 and they buy her a house after they get married.. except the house is right next door to them

My sister and I both have Scorpio Moons, but that's all we have in common. She has a lot of Libra in her chart though; her sun is Libra as is her ASC. She used to model for print ads in Japan and always dated guys who had money. She isn't a gold-digger but she does prefer to be wined and dined.

The difference between us is she likes being taken care of and pampered. I rather hate taking money from my parents, especially at this age. Oh, she's older than I am, btw.

Fortunately, with this placement, I've always been able to find just enough money at the last minute to pay my rent, pay for school, etc.

Definitely not spoiled by my mom, even though I'm her only child (Saturn sq. Moon, perhaps). However, I was the apple of my grandparents eye. Virgo uncle, and cousins were jealous.

CoralFrequency: He is Chinese-American. As far as I've seen, Chinese parents tend to emphasize work at a young age, so his financial situation is quite atypical and lucky. But yeah, dude's aware of his friggin dependency. Hopefully, he'll get it together.

Libraschoice: I don't know about money, but you have Jupiter in the 12th like my best friend. Luck tends to swoop in when you least expect it.

Sarai: Where is your Jupiter and what aspects does it make?

Everyone else, it's true---2nd or 4th house Jupiter seemed like probable candidates. I know ppl with 4th-house Jupiters who have big houses and whose parents took very good care of them as children.

Astra: How's yer Mars?

I figured that my friend's Jupiter is in his 2nd house and found out that this was indeed correct. Saturn also sits in his 2nd, which should have a contradictory effect. In spite of the influx of money, he may feel compelled to work hard for his own income, in case the initial source gets cut off. His financial situation also has a heavy effect on his self-worth.
