Low finances can ruin peace of mind, especially in today’s world, where money talks loudly. In this blog, we will see how, through simple habits, you can resolve your financial crisis in life and retain your wealth for a long time. We will see it through an astrological perspective, and you will see how brilliantly our ancestors designed the rituals that kept their wealth flowing.
What is Money
Money must be fluid. It should keep flowing. But many times in life, we create blockages in our lives that reduce or fully stop the money flow in our lives. In astrology, the houses of Venus, aka the 2nd house and the 7th house, rule our finances. And there lies the issue. If you suddenly start facing monetary issues in life, you know some mistake has happened in the 2nd house. These eight forms include growth, wellness, family, craft, money, community, adventure, and service. If you improve your 2nd house, you are going to attract all these types of wealth in life and not only money.
Top Reasons Behind Financial Blockages
- Your speech
In India, our elders would always stop us from cursing because they knew a person with bad language would never retain money. If you have a habit of constantly cursing others or speaking ill, there will be a day when your money flow will stop. Venus rules our money, and it’s a planet of grace and refinement. If you say disgraceful things, you are sure to make Goddess Lakshmi displeased.
The ancient texts state: “Vakdevi Vasate Jihve” (The Goddess of Speech resides on the tongue). Your words create vibrations that attract or repel prosperity. Speaking kind, truthful, and positive words creates sattvik vibrations that attract wealth.
- Your eating habits are bad
The 2nd house is also our eating habits. If you have a habit of eating in bed, you will continuously lose money in life through diseases. As the bed is the 12th house, it is also the house of donation. So when you are connecting your 2nd house to the 12th house, you are sure to lose money in the worst way.
You must be very careful of where you eat, how you eat. If you eat from plastic containers, you are attracting cheap energy as plastic is the cheapest. Kings used to eat on golden, silver plates for a reason. They didn’t want to lose their wealth.
Always eat sweets at the end of your meal, as we want to end our meal with a combination of Jupiter-Venus, which is a combination of luxury as Venus exalted in Pisces.
- Change your perception
The 2nd house is ruled by Taurus, a fixed sign governed by Venus. Changing our perceptions is one of the most difficult tasks in life. However, how we see things defines our prosperity. If you are viewing everything in a negative light, you can never attract prosperity or money.
Ancient texts state: “Yatha Drishti, Tatha Srishti” (As is your vision, so is your world). Developing a positive outlook creates magnetic energy that draws wealth toward you. Venus represents harmony, and a harmonious mind creates harmonious finances.
- You don’t care about your hygiene
Venus is the planet of grace, beauty. There can be no beauty in an unhygienic environment. Just take a look at your surroundings. If your room is filled with useless things, do you have chocolate wrappers lying here and there? This will block good energies from your life and lead you to poverty.
- You don’t know the value of things
Venus represents value. How much do you value things? If you don’t value your family, people around you, and things you buy, how will you retain wealth? Start every day with gratitude for having a precious family, home, and vehicles, and good teachers.

Frequently Asked Questions About Financial Astrology
Q1: Which planet is mainly responsible for wealth in Vedic astrology?
A: Venus (Shukra) is the primary significator of wealth and luxury. Jupiter (Guru) represents expansion and abundance. The combination of these two planets creates powerful wealth-generating yogas in a birth chart.
Q2: Why am I facing financial problems despite hard work?
A: From an astrological perspective, this could be due to:
- Saturn’s transit over your 2nd or 8th house
- Rahu-Ketu axis affecting your money houses
- Unfavorable Dasha period
- Ashtama Shani (Saturn in 8th house from Moon)
- Karma from past lives requiring resolution
Q3: How long should I chant Lakshmi mantras to see results?
A: Consistency is more important than duration. For noticeable results:
- Daily practice for at least 40 days is recommended
- Chant a minimum of 108 repetitions each session
- The auspicious times are Friday evenings, during Lakshmi puja, and during the waxing moon phase (Shukla Paksha)
Q4: What are the best days to start financial remedies?
A: According to Vedic astrology:
- Friday (Venus day) is best for Lakshmi-related remedies
- Thursday (Jupiter day) for the expansion of wealth
- Wednesday (Mercury day) for business-related prosperity
- Akshaya Tritiya and Dhanteras are considered highly auspicious for initiating wealth remedies
Q5: How does my speech affect my wealth according to astrology?
A: The 2nd house governs both speech and accumulated wealth. According to Vedic astrology, these are connected energetically. Harsh speech, lies, and negative talk create vibrations that repel Goddess Lakshmi, while gentle, truthful, and positive speech attracts prosperity.
Q6: What is the connection between food and money in Vedic astrology?
A: Food (Anna) is governed by the Moon and the 2nd house, which also relates to wealth. The Vedic principle “Annam Brahma” (Food is divine) suggests that how we treat our food directly impacts our prosperity. Wasting food, eating unconsciously, or consuming tamasic foods creates financial obstacles.
Q7: Can donating money help increase wealth?
A: Yes, this follows the principle of “Daanam” in Vedic tradition. Strategic charity activates the law of circulation and removes financial blockages. The most effective donations are:
- Giving food to the hungry (Anna Daan)
- Offering to temples on Thursdays and Fridays
- Contributing to education (Vidya Daan)
- Donating during Amavasya (New Moon) and Akshaya Tritiya
