Christmas is a distant memory - but maybe the credit card bills aren't - the resolutions have come and gone & the stars are shifting. How is 2026 treating your bank account? January is often a bumpy time. The bills of the holidays come due, the tax year is over in many places so the tax bill looms and the limitations & realities of life kick back in. 2026 will continue to barrel on, shifting into faster and faster speeds in the next few months. Serious shifts are happening and the world (and your money) will be shaken. Neptune just moved out of its comfortable home in watery Pisces into fast & furious Aries. It's a new season of dreams, illusion and imagination. Aries is a fire sign and much faster and more agressive than fluid emotional Pisces. This is the first big shift of planets in 2026. If you want to know what this means for you and your money, join our Money Map 2026 class. You'll discover what's coming in 2026 and how your chart can work with it.

Hi @Cait Calabar ! Finished the modules. They were great. It left me wanting more so here I am 😁. The following is my chart configuration. I use Placidus house system: Background about me: ♒♊♒ I am polymath with 20 years experience as software engineering. The first fifteen years was working for other companies and the last 5 years was working for myself. Now I closed down my business in March 2025 and working for a DOE vendor where I teach about ecology and nutrition and supporting other educators who do the same work. I was long time coming after feeling deeply unhappy for 8--10 years. Creating my own consulting business helped me realize that it was doing software engineering for others wasn't fulfilling for me and doing side programming project had more fulfillment because it was play. However, going through a lifelong health journey and learning and talking about ecology and nutrition enliven my cells. Financially now, since the career change, a lot of established savings had, has been depleted and liquidated to support basic needs over the past year and a half. So very shoe strapped now. However, I am currently getting a certification for nutrition consulting, a debt I am happy to take and know I can pay off because I did it before, and build up knowledge around herbalism, medical astrology, and horticultural studies to build a wellness business for my community and brewing makerspace business where i can possibly apply my multitude of interests. I am currently employing my Reiki skills as the gateway to the larger vision of my wellness practice. One of my core uses for money as always been for traveling, learning, playing and experimenting. My chart Interpretation: 2nd House: - Signs: Pisces and Aries - Planets: No planets in 2nd house. Pisces' ruling planet is placed under the 11th house and Aries's ruling planet is placed under Sagittarius 10th house. So the interpretations I have is that the nature of my income is through purposeful and meaningful work. How this shows ups for me entrepreneurship, which I think my 10th house supports. In terms of my sixth house, it speaks more to the environment so far in my life and only now relates to the than the specific job. I am doing a career switch in to the green industry and wellness.

Doing what you’ve always done will get you what you’ve always had. Changing your bank balance or money stress levels or credit card balances requires you to do something different. Giving ourselves permission to do that is an entirely different matter. Often what we do with our money is driven by fear. So what we’ve always done we chose in order to keep ourselves safe. So different can feel very dangerous. Which often leads to the thought: I can’t do that Pay attention to how your body responds to new ideas & opportunities. Every new idea is not for you. When an option is presented, do you tense up & get an uncomfortable feeling in the pit of your stomach? Probably not for you. On the other hand, do you have a new notion cross your path and every cell in your body just lights up? You discover a smile on your face thinking about doing it? This is a place to pause & listen to the wisdom of your body. So often we have these moments and the thoughts barge in and tell us all the reasons why we can’t. Be careful - it’s called a mindf*ck for a reason and we most often make ourselves the victim. When trying new things, it’s kind to yourself to take baby steps (unless you’re a leap off a cliff person like me 🤣😂🤣). Leave the mental math out of the equation temporarily. Consider the possibility of doing the thing. Imagine you’ve already done this new thing you suspect you can’t do. How would it feel to have done something different & gotten a better result? Wallow around in the possibilities for a moment. This is the Money Game, being willing to try new things. And the most crucial piece of trying new things? Being willing to fail. That’s what you need to give yourself permission for in order to win the Money Game: Permission to Fail Because failure births wisdom. Not the I fell over once, I won’t do that again notion. But the relentless pursuit that has you try over and over again despite failure, finding the hundred or hundred thousand things that don’t work. Until you finally find the one thing that does.

The moon rules our emotions and when the full moon hits, our emotions get louder. How you’re feeling is one of the strongest impacts on your money. Cancer is a stability seeking sign. As the sign that’s the heart of family, they are concerned about being able to dependably provide for the family. This sign can make us necessarily cautious or send us into emotional whirlpools of paranoia. So tune in with yourself today to see how you’re feeling about your money. If you’re feeling like there isn’t enough or you are a bit panicked by your bank balance, take a breath. This isn’t necessarily the time to make changes if your emotions are driving you forward. Just tell yourself it’s the weekend and big decisions can wait til next week when the energy has calmed down. Almost the entire sky is in earth or water signs which are more concerned with frugality than happiness. So don’t make any long term commitments that may lock you into uncomfortable responsibilities that drain you in favor of some small savings now. There are four planets in Capricorn, so know you’ll likely default to hard work and single solution mentality. The energy that’s up must be used, so feel free to work all weekend. Just don’t commit yourself to suffering now when more options will open up soon that provide more ease & grace. I’m in workaholic mode myself putting the finishing touches on the 2026 Money Map. Comment with 2026, if knowing how the money energy of the year sounds helpful to you. Here’s to a peaceful & prosperous 2026 💫

What? A money person saying don’t budget? Truth is, not everyone is built for it. Pretending you can budget when you aren’t is a recipe for stress. Budgeting is primarily a Gemini skill set. If you don’t have Gemini in your chart(or your Shadow Chart) it really is not a good choice. And honestly that’s most of us. I was not built for budgeting myself. Time to stop the delusion we’re all the same & should do money one way. Today Venus is trine Saturn & Jupiter in watery glory. So let’s break this down elementally: Water signs (Pisces, Cancer, Scorpio) This is another good day to get into your feelings about money. Feel into where you’d like more money to come from and what would make you feel secure. Remember that you are magnetic when you are feeling. Money & opportunities come to you. You don’t have to chase them, just see them when they arrive. Fire signs (Sagittarius, Leo, Aries) All the feelings in the air may rain on your parade but remember there’s always something to be done to have more fun. Tune into your imagination to discover more money making opportunities and think about where some boundaries would serve you. Then take action today to get the energy moving and catch this moment of expanding your cash flow. Earth signs(Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn) Today’s energy is very nurturing for you. I know my saying most of us aren’t built for budgets sounds crazy town to you. But I’m going to ask you how your budget makes you feel, particularly when you don’t arrive under budget and early. A budget can be a tool of self judgment(Virgo 👀) which is not helpful for creative cash flow. Where can you losen your budgetary constraints to make more room for life today? Air signs (Gemini, Libra, Aquarius) All the feelings in the air aren’t gonna make y’all happy. Otherwise, here we diverge. Gemini it’s a good day to look at where you can add additional income streams and strengthen your money boundaries. This is your jam, analyze & adjust the plan, then get on it.
