Your Prosperity Potential

Are you headed in the right direction to create prosperity? Does money come to you easily, or is it an uphill battle to stay financially afloat? In your astrology chart, the 2^nd House is your earning indicator. The planet(s) in that House, along with the sign on its cusp, reveal many of your moneymaking talents and opportunities.

These influences point the way to creating wealth through your own efforts – in the most natural way for you. By knowing your 2^nd House – you can learn by getting your astrological chart done – you can identify which endeavors will most likely lead to your financial success. Needless to say, this gives you enormous power over your finances.
