In the age of social media and Instagram, people are becoming more and more influenced by the lifestyles they see on social media. This gives a rise to aspirations to attain wealth and live a very comfortable if not a luxurious life. Not everyone is blessed with a good amount of wealth, born in an affluent family or have a high income. It is good to work hard towards your goals and achieve success over time but even though most people want to become wealthy, they just don't get it. We all have seen a prince marrying an ordinary woman in fairy tales. In Korean drama, it is very common to see an extremely rich man marrying an ordinary woman or vice versa. Marrying a rich man/woman can be a shortcut for someone to escape poverty and attain the desired level of wealth and financial freedom. During my consultations, several people come up to me with these questions and through this article I want to guide you to find the best approach for your life based on your planetary placemen
In Indian mythology, each planet is associated with a certain deity and these deities have their own set of characteristics and powers. The Sun God is the giver of life, the Moon protects & nourishes, and Jupiter governs knowledge and abundance.
From a scientific perspective, the Sun is the only source of energy to our planet and for Earth to remain habitable maintaining a specific distance is necessary, the Moon keeps the Earth and its climate stable, and Jupiter keeps us safe from heavenly objects entering into the solar system.
Planets have well defined roles to play and control various aspects of our lives.
- Sun - your soul, self, ego, confidence, father, gold, nobility, power & authority
- Moon - your mind, emotions, feelings, thoughts, mother, silver, power & authority
- Mars - land, property, passion, security, brother, competitiveness and courage
- Mercury - intelligence, learning, wit, business, trade and communication
- Jupiter - knowledge, wisdom, assets, children, expansion, growth and respect
- Venus - vehicle, luxury, comforts, money, spouse, materialistic pleasures and respect
- Saturn - struggles, pain, suffering, servants, humility, loyalty and perseverance
- Rahu - worldly desires, obsessions, attachments, fear, chaos, confusion
- Ketu - spirituality, separation, detachments, fear, chaos, anger and liberation.
In this article, I will be covering which planet is the most beneficial for wealth and why.
This particular question is the most debatable question in astrology but in this article I will also give you reasons that will help you decide which planet is the most beneficial for becoming wealthy according to you.
Wealth is mainly referred as abundance of money, property and assets i.e. valuable materialistic possessions. In ancient times, land and food were considered as wealth. A wealthy person is respected and treated well by the society.
Planets that will provide wealth to you will depend on how the planets are placed in your horoscope. There is no such planet that gives wealth and brings success to everyone during its time period.
Understand The Planets In Your Horoscope
Planets need to be associated with good houses to trigger positive events and provide beneficial results. If the planet itself is not well placed in your horoscope then you can never expect that planet to do any good to you.
It is therefore important that a planet gets associated with the wealth giving houses. These houses are 2nd, 6th, 10th and 11th house in your horoscope.
Any planet that is associated with these wealth giving houses and does not signify a combination of bad houses (6th, 8th and 12th) is capable of giving wealth or at least some financial growth.
The 6th house is good when it is alone and brings more success when it gets associated with the 10th or 11th house.
When the 6th house gets associated with the 8th or 12th house, or there is any combination of bad houses, the native suffers from financial troubles, job insecurity and loss of wealth.
Example: Saturn normally gives good results in the 6th house. Saturn in this house makes the native hard working, courageous, gives a long life and controls expenditure.
For Leo Ascendant, Saturn owns the 7th and 8th house. Saturn sitting in the 6th house in the sign of Sagittarius will bring a lot of problems to the native in marriage as well as the financial growth even though this Saturn is sitting in a friendly sign.
Once you have found the positive and negative planets, you know what you can expect from different planets during their time periods.
Now the question arises which planet can give you most of the wealth - most beneficial planet for attaining wealth.
Most Beneficial Planet For Wealth
In astrology, planets are often termed as natural benefic and malefic. Natural benefic have the higher tendency to give good results and natural malefic are the planets which cause misfortunes.
Saturn < Mars < Sun < Moon < Mercury < Venus < Jupiter
This is the order starting from Saturn which is the least benefic(or most malefic) to Jupiter being the most benefic.
Sun and Moon are somewhat neutral in nature and do not tend to create any problems.
Saturn being a natural malefic tends to give diseases, struggles and miseries. Unless Saturn in a horoscope signifies very good houses, it does give some trouble.
Jupiter on the hand tends to make the native more intelligent, perform well in academics, and give good health. Jupiter even if neutral in the horoscope brings growth and success in life.
Jupiter and Venus are considered as the most beneficial planets.
Jupiter is the planet of growth, abundance and knowledge, and Venus is the planet for comforts, beauty and luxuries.
The most debatable question of astrology is whether Jupiter or Venus is the most beneficial planet for wealth.
Jupiter
Jupiter is sattvic in nature, noble and rules over the space element.
Sattvic Guna clears your mind, keeps you focused and does not let you indulge into materialistic pleasures.
Jupiter is known as the teacher of Gods and represents all the knowledge in the Universe.
Jupiter has three aspects: 5th, 7th and 9th aspect. Therefore, Jupiter always influences four houses in a horoscope through its placement and aspect.
Jupiter rules the sign of Sagittarius while is a fiery and goal oriented sign, and represented by a Centaur holding bow & arrow.
Venus
Venus is rajasic in nature, pious and rules over the water element.
Venus is the brightest planet in the sky and known as the morning star. Venus is the planet of brilliance, beauty and luxury.
As per Hindu mythology, Venus(Shukracharya) is the son of Sage Bhrigu and the brother of Goddess Lakshmi.
Lakshmi is the Goddess of wealth and prosperity and therefore, Venus is very closely associated with wealth, success and prosperity.
Rajasic Guna brings motivation and aggression to move forward in life but this guna also makes one dependent on people and materialistic pleasures to feel satisfied.
Venus only aspect the 7th house from where it sits, and always influence 2 houses through its occupancy and aspect.
Comparison Of Jupiter & Venus
- Jupiter and Venus both are considered as the teachers, they both are highly knowledgeable and respectable.
- Venus is the natural significator of marriage and helps the native get married even when there are various planets in a horoscope that deny marriage.
Similarly, Jupiter is the natural significator of childbirth and Jupiter triggers birth of the child during its time period.
Both marriage and childbirth are the most important events of one's life. - Jupiter is masculine and Venus is feminine. Jupiter makes a person goal oriented and Venus makes relationship oriented.
People under the influence of Jupiter will work hard and be more focused to learn, grow and achieve more.
Venus will make a person more interested in relationship, opposite sex, luxury and enjoying the pleasures of life. - Jupiter's influence will make you marry a person of higher status and Venus will bring a beautiful wife/handsome husband.
- Jupiter will help in getting a big house and Venus will give you a modern and beautiful house. Both of them will be beneficial for having a house in a posh locality.
- Jupiter is dual in nature and brings gain/income through more than one source. Venus cannot do the same.
- Well placed Jupiter in the Ascendant will make a person respectable, knowledgeable and give spiritual inclinations. Venus will give a charming personality, attractive looks and social intelligence.
- Jupiter can significantly increase your expenses and make you a spendthrift if it is not well placed and sits in the ascendant. Such Venus in the ascendant will make a person deeply involved in physical relationships, sexual and materialistic pleasures.
- As per mythology, Jupiter(Brihaspati) and Venus(Shukracharya) both studied under the Sage Angiras and hence share very similar qualities and traits.
- Both Jupiter and Venus can give you money, fame, happiness, respect, financial success, power and influence in their time periods when they are strongly positive in the horoscope.
Angiras was the father of Brihaspati and hence always preferred him over Shukracharya. In the end, Angiras also helped Brihaspati in gaining the position in heaven as the teacher of Gods.
Many things that are mentioned in the mythology are useful in understanding how the planets can influence our lives.
From this story we know that despite sharing so many qualities with Venus, Jupiter was able to reach the topmost position.
Similarly, Jupiter's time period will provide an advantage to achieve the success and desired goals.
Another story is that Lakshmi has control over all the beauty, wealth and prosperity in the universe. When she wanted to get married, she was looking for a husband who has an abundance of knowledge, power and wealth, and still he should not be attached to it.
Lord Vishnu is almighty, charming and graceful, and had no ego of what he is and neither he was attached to the materialistic possessions. Lakshmi became the wife of Lord Vishnu.
Jupiter is associated with Lord Vishnu while Venus is associated with Goddess Lakshmi.
Final Verdict
Jupiter and Venus, when they signify good houses in a horoscope both of them can bring respect, intelligence, money, fame, ambient environment, abroad travel and success.
Venus is rajasic in nature, and therefore will make you desire for material comforts and pleasures. This is not a problem as long as achieving pleasures do not become your only goal.
Jupiter is sattvic in nature, will make your goal oriented, bring steady growth, good health, and good character.
A person who maintains a good character, works hard, does not get distracted by worldly pleasures will definitely see more success and wealth.
In astrology, I believe this is why Jupiter is considered as the most beneficial planet.
