Advice
Aquarius represents the 2nd House of Finances.
Pluto in Aquarius has been a process of financial restructuring since March 2023, during which your values will undergo profound changes, both materially and spiritually.
Money and possessions will no longer be about having, but about what you can do with them.
You will come to understand that possessions are very relative. Spiritual possessions and moral values will play an (even) greater role in your life.
Due to the strong influence of Pluto in Aquarius, your main source of income may change, for example, through a new job or retirement. It is wise to set aside money and postpone unnecessary purchases. Jupiter retrograde in Cancer brings financial stability, while Pluto in Aquarius encourages you to manage your income effectively by saving or investing wisely.
Network, start negotiations, and don’t hesitate to make long-term agreements. While it may not yield immediate results, the foundations you lay now will prove invaluable in the coming months.
