Wondering about this in my chart. I always feel like I have awful luck with money. I am not a big spender at all, but in order to make some of the moves I have in my life (school - which required massive loans, and I should have picked something else at the naiive age of 17...// and then moving to new cities and trying to find ways to get by, as well as medical bills, etc....), I have had to spend money in credit cards, and have a fair amount of debt. MOST debt is just my loans from school, but I feel like I cannot get rid of this.No matter how well I am doing in my career, the pay - while stable and consistent - is never enough. It's a career that can keep building in time, but I constantly feel like I'll get a handle on finances, only to be thrown a weird blow out of left field I didn't see coming (like getting laid off. Or suddenly being stuck with an entire apartment rent when someone moved out fast, stuff like that). Is this just a pattern I'm always going to have to deal with? I'm a hard worker, and pragmatic... but it seems like the more I even focus on my finances and budget, the worse it always gets. Grrr. IP: Logged |

you can try to refinance your student loans or join the peace corps. the US government will take off some of that annoying student loans in exchange for your service. try and do some research about peace corps, perhaps, it's an answer to your stress with re-paying it. IP: Logged |

Peace Corps/ service is not an option with my career. I'm established as a musician/ opera singer on a certain track. I have good financial advice, it's not really a matter of trying to get control over the debt - it's all underway. It's more a curiosity about if financial frustrations show up in a chart? Career wise I have been lucky (doing what I love). Financially, not so much. So it's just confusing. IP: Logged |

The 2nd and 8th house rulers conjunct in 1st house and square Uranus and trine Pluto. Transit chiron also is conjunct your 2nd and 8th house rulers, so if you follow asteroids, that also may be worth looking into. Someone more seasoned may give a better answer though. That's just what stands out to me. IP: Logged |

Interesting. Yeah I am going through a lot of Chiron transits right now. Just trying to find a silver lining. I get paid for one thing, only to be wrongly "collected" for a bill I don't owe. Weird stuff like that keeps happening. I feel like a target for financial weirdness and don't want that to continue in my life. IP: Logged | |
