5 Abundance Blocks in Your Birth Chart That Are Sabotaging Your Wealth (And How to Fix Them)

1. Saturn's Harsh Lessons: The Restriction Placer

Saturn's reputation is unfair. This planet is not punishing you with poverty - he wants you to learn mastery. Having him heavily aspected (especially in the 2nd house of money or 8th house on shared resources) can create the deep-seated fear of abundance. Often we had scarcity growing up.

Or, we internalized the message that 'money is tough' and 'you have to fight for your riches'. Saturn says 'you must earn the hard way'. Discipline works well. But Saturn can trip over the line into fear-based restriction.

What to do: Befriend Saturn by creating strong financial foundations. Write a budget, invest in education and trust that slow progress still gives you compound rewards. Saturn honors patience and responsibility. Stop fighting with this planet.

Befriend him instead.

2. Chiron in the 2nd or 8th House: The Wounded Healer's Money Wound

The position of our Chiron represents our deepest wound, but conversely it is where we have incredible healing potential. If your Chiron is located in the 2nd House (personal resources/self-worth) or the 8th House (shared wealth/inherited trauma), you are likely carrying generational money wounds and feelings of shame around your personal value. This appears often as imposter syndrome (you sabotage having money because unconsciously you feel unworthy of it, or you continually 'give it away', refuse to charge what you are worth, or put yourself back into a situation of financial crisis again and again). I have worked with so many clients for whom the realization of Chiron's placement was the final piece of their long-time suffering relationship with money being put together.

Once these wounds heal, Chiron actually means 'wounded healer'; you become so capable of guiding others with blockages in money too. Do: Work on self-worth. Meditate. Journal.

Go to therapy or work with someone to do energy work on the self-worth wound. Know that your value has absolutely nothing to do and is not linked whatsoever to how much or little money you have in savings. Dig deeper into Chiron wound healing either through your astrology natal chart, your Human Design chart, or with the help of a coach to uncover where your specific healing journey is calling to.

3. Venus Square Saturn or Venus Square Pluto: The Scarcity Lover

Venus represents our resources, beauty, and what we attract to us. When Venus is harshly aspected by Pluto or Saturn, you will often find that you repel money and block wealth, because of fear, control issues, or beliefs surrounding how much you deserve. With Venus-Saturn, it comes from the belief that you do not deserve or are worthy of all good things in life, whilst Venus-Pluto will have an all-or-nothing approach to money and material belongings. Either you hoard all of your money, or you spend it like crazy and will not let go of it, whilst it will not attach itself to you easily.

Both of these are extremes and stop you from experiencing the true flow of abundance in its pure sense. This is not your fault; these things are programming! Your astrology chart is like your soul's syllabus, and these are lessons that you just need to work through in this life. Your Action Plan: Think about some of your earliest memories surrounding money and worthiness.

What did you learn about whether nice things should be bought for you? Start questioning these beliefs! Venus is all about beauty and gratitude, so start showing some more gratitude and appreciating the money that you do have already. This will change your energy frequency and open new doors for you.

4. Neptune in the 2nd or 8th House: The Foggy Finances

Neptune is the planet of illusion, dreams, spiritual connection. And often, confusion when it comes to money. With Neptune in the 2nd House (personal money/resources) or 8th House (shared money/debt), you might find it hard to think clearly about finances, be unable to face monetary realities, and may also attract people to you who take advantage of your generosity. You could constantly feel disconnected between what you earn versus what you actually see appearing in your bank account, be fuzzy about money, avoid looking at your mail/bills, or try to run your finances as if operating on a wing and a prayer.

Neptune whispers, "It will all work out." And it does, with conscious, solid action. What To Do: Bring Neptune's spiritual gifts down to earth and create real, practical systems around it. Bills paid automatically, clear income/expenditure, and regular real-life checks on it too! Neptune in particular needs to have a clear structure to thrive within.

You might want to consider working with an accountant too! Neptune loves experts, especially when it can let them get on with it all for it.

5. Lack of Earth Sign Placements: The Abundance Dreamer

Lack earth signs (Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn). It is less a "block" and more a real imbalance, causing you to have a hard time manifesting wealth. Your spiritual gifts are really strong; you can see past into other realms, but a block/imbalance in your earth signs (Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn) can actually stop you manifesting your dreams in this lifetime or in this reality. Earth signs represent a natural affinity with material reality, practical steps, and delayed gratification.

If this energy is lacking, you might have fantastic ideas yet struggle to make them tangible. You are the inventor but no system; you are the visionary but no spreadsheets; you have a deep sense of intuition and a connection with Spirit, but you tend to have no grounding. Abundance manifestation demands both inspiration/flow (fire, air, water) AND execution (earth). For the specifics about your elements' role in astrology, refer to our earth signs in astrology blog.

What to do: Focus your work more towards developing earth sign energies in everything you do. Partner with Capricorn earth-sign people/partners/friends who can take charge. Meditate/affirm for more Capricorn/Earth energy. Work alongside earth-sign people, e.g., business managers.

Do courses in finance. Work on focusing your mind rather than your emotions (fire). Work on the grounding element. What is missing?

Your psychic gifts and other abilities are real; they are absolutely what they seem to be, but without this grounding in this world, they might not be able to actually reach to attract abundance, but more of a psychic gift that does not actually help pay your bills. You want to make sure your spiritual money is balanced for some actual reality money. This might be money for you, your dreams, or anyone for you. Do you feel a need to impress?

Claudia's Perspective: What Abundance Blocks Astrology Really Means

In my two decades of astrological practice, I've learned that wealth struggles rarely come down to bad luck or lack of effort. They're written in our charts, often in the very placements we never think to examine. When clients come to me frustrated about money, I immediately look at their Saturn aspects, their second house ruler, and their lunar nodes—because these cosmic signatures reveal the hidden beliefs sabotaging their financial flow.

I once worked with a client named Marcus who earned six figures but couldn't keep money in his account. His Saturn sat exactly opposite his Venus in the second house—a classic configuration that whispers: you don't deserve abundance. More telling, his south node (past-life lessons) was in Capricorn, suggesting he'd come into this lifetime carrying deep scarcity wounds. Marcus wasn't broken; his birth chart was simply showing him where the real work lived. Once we identified these blocks and worked with them spiritually and practically, his relationship with money transformed within months.

This is what I mean by abundance blocks astrology—it's not mystical finger-wagging. It's recognizing that your chart is a sacred blueprint showing you exactly where you've agreed to learn about worthiness, flow, and generative energy. The blocks aren't punishments; they're invitations to reclaim your power around money.
