We've been having a lot of financial issues in the household since 2008. We've actually always had a bit of difficulties financially even during peaks of economic prosperity.
From what my mother told me, at the end of 2007 to start of 2008, her income dropped by 1/4, and at the same time, expenses increased. My step-dad's computer business, which he started in 2005, is not growing as we expected, so he hasn't been bringing much in.
The effects have been enough that, for example, whenever I need to get maintenance stuff done on my car, we have to put it off for a long time. I had to go two years without getting the oil changed. I drove on bad brakes (metal on metal) for over 6 months before getting them replaced. We finally got them replaced in December 2008. Then my sister's car went out, and because we couldn't afford to get her another car, she had to borrow mine. However, several days ago, we got it back, and it was in considerably poorer condition than it was before she got it. The engine in my mother's car blew on October 5, 2009, so she's out of a car now. She borrowed my grandpa's car, and the fuel pump in it went out 10 days later, so that's 400+ more dollars that we're out of.
My sister currently works two jobs, and even with that, she is only just scraping by. This is one thing that could explain her lack of maintenance to my car when she had it.
These financial problems also impact me as I haven't worked in over three years due to my medical issues (bipolar, depression, adrenal exhaustion), and therefore, haven't had an income throughout this time, and I've been having to rely on there's.
Also, whenever I need to buy my dietary supplements for my conditions or sometimes refill my meds, we would have to wait some number of days as she wouldn't have the money then.
It's getting quite aggravating.
I've been wondering what ongoing transits to their charts have been playing a big role in this.
Here's what I think.
Although, my mother's 2nd house isn't occupied by any of the major planets, the traditional ruler of it, Jupiter, is squared by Saturn but makes a trine to her Sun.
Transit-wise, the Saturn/Uranus opposition that's been going on since fall 2008 has been in my mother's 2nd/8th House axis, which is the financial axis. Saturn entered into my mother's 8th House of joint finances this past summer. Uranus, though, entered into my mother's second house back in 2008.
Uranus' entry into her 2nd House was when the financial difficulties began. It also began forming an opposition to her Sun, and this aspect goes exact one more time in March 2010. Uranus is the planet of sudden changes and erraticism. We also had financial problems in 1996, and Saturn was going through her 2nd House then. She said that the reason for the difficulties then was that she had just begun going into business for herself. This time, it's different (Uranus in her 2nd House this time). The problems more recently have had more of a sudden nature, I feel.
The Neptune/Jupiter and Jupiter/Jupiter square could also be playing a part.
But I do see some hope next year. This year, her Uranus/Jupiter sextile began and goes on until early 2011. Her Uranus Trine Mars begins next year as Uranus enters Aries for first time. Jupiter also will be going into her second house close to spring of next year and will remain in there for 1 year. Since her job involves commissions and sales, this will be especially good, from what I read. While in the 2nd house, Jupiter will also be sextiling its natal position and will then form a trine to her Mars. So, I hope these will be some improvements.
Besides these, what other factors could be playing a part in this ongoing financial situation?
Here's my mother's and step-dad's chart. I don't have a time of birth of my step-dad, so I did a solar chart for him with equal houses. Each of them includes current transits.
The first chart is my mother's chart (9/17/64). The second one is my step-dad's (8/26/64).
