“Paisa aata hai par tikta nahi”, money comes but doesn’t stay, is one of the most common money worries. It is rarely only about budgeting; the chart often shows a pattern.
How the chart reads wealth
In the Lal Kitab tradition, income is seen from the 11th house, expenses from the 12th, and savings from the 2nd house. The net of what you keep is, in effect, the balance between the 11th and the 12th. When the 2nd house (savings) is afflicted, money flows in but does not hold.
- Afflicted 2nd house, savings leak; money slips away on unproductive expenses.
- Weak 11th house / its lord, gains come slowly or irregularly.
- Heavy 12th-house influence, expenses and losses run high.
- Jupiter (the natural significator of wealth) afflicted, blocked growth and abundance.
