So, you hear all this stuff about planets moving around, and honestly, a lot of the time I just kind of nod along. But then something happens, and you’re like, “Wait a minute, maybe there’s something to this.” That’s what happened to me with this whole Mars transiting my 2nd house business.
My Own Little Experiment with Mars and Money
I wasn’t exactly rolling in dough, you know? Just chugging along, paying bills, the usual grind. I’d heard bits and pieces about astrology, but I wasn’t tracking every little thing. Then, I stumbled across some info, or maybe a friend mentioned it, that Mars was due to pass through my 2nd house – the money part of the chart, apparently. I figured, “Okay, let’s see what happens. Or if anything happens at all.” I decided to just pay a bit more attention to, well, myself and my money situation during that time.
And boy, did things get interesting. It wasn’t like a switch flipped overnight, but I definitely started feeling… different. I got this real restless energy about my finances. It wasn’t just the usual “oh, I need to save more” feeling. This was more like a fire lit under me. Suddenly, I was super focused, almost aggressive, about wanting to see my bank balance go up.
Here’s what I started noticing, and I actually jotted some of this down:
- The Urge to Act: I just couldn’t sit still if I felt like I wasn’t actively doing something to improve my financial situation. I started looking for extra work, little side projects, anything. I even dug out some old stuff to sell online – something I’d been putting off for ages.
- Taking Chances: There was this one opportunity that came up. Normally, I would have thought it was too risky, too much effort for an uncertain payoff. But with this Mars energy buzzing, I just went for it. I remember thinking, “What’s the worst that can happen? I end up where I am now?” That was new for me.
- My Mouth Got Me into Things: This was a big one. I found myself being way more direct when talking about money. I renegotiated a contract, which I usually dread. I even had a pretty frank discussion with someone who owed me money for ages. I wasn’t rude, I don’t think, but I was definitely more assertive. No beating around the bush. I was surprised at the words coming out of my own mouth sometimes! It felt a bit like I was channeling some tough negotiator.
- Working Like Crazy: When I did get those extra gigs, I threw myself into them. Long hours, focused effort. It was tiring, but there was also this weird satisfaction in just pushing hard and seeing tangible results, like, actual money coming in.
It wasn’t all smooth sailing, mind you. That assertive streak? Yeah, it probably ruffled a few feathers. I think I came across as a bit too pushy sometimes. And the drive to earn more meant I was pretty tired a lot of the time. I had to consciously tell myself to chill out occasionally.
So, What Did I Make of It All?
When I looked back after Mars had moved on, it was pretty clear something had shifted during that period. My finances were definitely in a better spot, not like I became a millionaire, but there was a noticeable improvement. More importantly, I learned a lot about my own capacity to hustle and be direct when I need to be.
For me, Mars transiting my 2nd house wasn’t some mystical, airy-fairy thing. It felt very real, very active. It was like having a very demanding personal coach for my finances for a few weeks. It pushed me out of my comfort zone, made me take action, and yeah, it made me speak up for my own worth. I guess that’s my practical take on it. I just observed what happened, and that’s the record I’ve got. It made me think that maybe keeping an eye on these transits isn’t such a bad idea after all, just to see how they play out in real life, in your own way.
