How to build a Money Altar
Do you want to open more energy flow in the 2nd, 5th, 8th, or 11th house? You can choose one to prioritize or work with all 4. When we work with magic, the more focused we are, the better our outcomes. That’s why I recommend sticking with one or two to start.
As a reminder, here are the themes of those houses:
Income – 2nd House
Taxes – 8th House
Debt – 8th House
Saving– 2nd and 8th Houses
Luck – 5th House
Creativity – 5th House
Manifestation – 5th and 11th Houses
Receiving – 11th and 8th Houses
Look at the sign on the line of the house cusp. Identify the ruling planet for the sign.
Aries: Mars
Taurus: Venus
Gemini: Mercury
Cancer: Moon
Leo: Sun
Virgo: Mercury
Libra: Venus
Scorpio: Mars (Pluto)
Sagittarius: Jupiter
Capricorn: Saturn
Aquarius: Saturn (Uranus)
Pisces: Jupiter (Neptune)
Now, it’s time to build an altar for Modern Money Magic! Find a place in your home that reminds you of abundance, prosperity, or wealth. It could be your newly renovated bathroom or your home office.
Place items that remind you of the planet on that altar. Write your intentions, and place them there. Light a candle or burn incense to honor that planet and boost the energy going toward your intention.
If you feel stuck, here are some suggestions:
Mars: Red candles, bloodstone, Dragon’s Blood incense, iron oxide, beets, red agate, peppers, basil, myrrh, iron, snakeskin, tobacco, black cohosh, snapdragon
