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.

Mercury retrograde is an excellent time for a money upgrade. Think back over the last four months. What has worked with your money? What has given you trouble? Mercury retrograde is the perfect time for rearranging, upgrades & do-overs. What can you do differently with your money? Now is the perfect time for a revamp. Since this is a Scorpio retrograde you want to pay particular attention to how you feel about your money. Where you’re having the strongest feelings is where you want to focus your attention. Know what you want to upgrade but don’t know what to do about it? Comment with your sign & what you want to change and I’ll give you some pointers. You can send a message too if you’d rather 😉 Here’s to your wealth ✨
