Money in Bruce Springsteen's Astrology Chart
Intuitive, Idealism, Beauty
Introduction
We looked at money in Madonna’s chart in my last post. Let’s take a look at money in Bruce Springsteen’s chart. This will give you an idea of how different our money stories can be beneath the surface when we look at two different musicians that have had successful careers. In Bruce’s chart, once again, we start with the Second House.
The Second House in Bruce's Chart
Bruce’s second house is in the sign of Cancer (dark blue “69”). Once again, the key words for the second house are: Money, Self-Worth, Possessions, Values, Security. The key words for Cancer are: Nurturing, Emotional, Protective, Intuitive, Family-Oriented. Even with this initial piece of information, we’re already seeing a different flavor than Madonna.
The Leader of the Second House
The Leader of the second house in this case is the Moon, which is in the Fifth House in Libra. It’s co-present with many other planets in that house meaning that Bruce has a super stellium in that house. The Sun, Neptune, Mercury, as well as his South Node are also in the Fifth House.
In Bruce’s case, the 2nd House describes the landscape of money and the leader (the Moon) acts like the manager or representative of those topics. It carries the story of the 2nd House into another area of life. It’s the agent carrying out the story.
This means that money and livelihood are connected to 5th House themes: earning money through creativity, performance, entertainment, joy, self-expression, artistry, audiences, playing.
This is all happening in the sign of Libra. Key words for Libra are: Diplomatic, Charming, Fair-Minded, Artistic, Relational, Balance, Harmony, Beauty, Diplomacy. Key words for the Fifth House are: Creativity, Romance, Play, Sexuality, Children, Joy, Self-Expression, Sports, Parts of life that allow us to shine from the heart.
When we blend these two together we get something along the lines of: expression through creative collaboration, artistic sensitivity, romantic idealism, a longing to experience pleasure through partnership and shared experiences. A natural charm and grace, along wiht a strong awareness of how one’s creativity affects other people. In its healthiest expression, this combination creates someone who brings beauty, fairness, warmth, and relational intelligence intot he realm of creativity and joy.
One of the challenges of this placement is becoming overly dependent on validation, audience response. The growth edge is being able to create from an inner authenticy while still honoring Libra’s gift for connection and collaboration.
Planets in the Second House
Bruce has Uranus, (the planet of Innovation, Rebellion, Awakening, Disruption, Freedom) as well as the Lot of Spirit in his Second House. This might mean a relationship with money that is complex, highly individualistic, and subject to sudden changes, innovation, nontraditional approaches and unpredictability.
The Lot of Spirit represents the effort we put into our career. It’s about the choices we make, our motivations, our aspirations, our intention, and what the soul seeks to do.
Filtered through Cancer and the Second House, themes become: Emotional Intelligence, Intuition, Family, the need to create genuine safety and belonging. A deeper purpose might be: valuing themeselves, buiilding a life that emotionally nourishes themselves and others. Cancer adds sensitivity to all this. Financial choices are connected to care-taking, family responsibilities and stability.
Planets in the 5th House
If I was actually doing a thorough job of looking at the 5th House, I would go through each planet and think about how they interact with each other. For the sake of time, I’m not going to do that here. But, suffice it to say that having his Sun (his identity), Mercury (communication), Neptune (imagination) and the South Node (Comfort Zone) means there is a lot going on in his 5th House.
With his South Node in the 5th House, it means the North Node is in the 11th House. This means that Bruce will feel fulfillment in life only when he takes his creativity out into the world and in front of groups of people. He’s not someone who could sit in his lonely room and play for himself and feel fulfilled. He’s compelled to play in front of audiences.
Wrap Up
I hope you’re getting an idea of how we can look at money in your astrology chart. So far, we’ve looked at Madonna and Bruce and see very individual, yet strong paths to their careers and the money they’ve earned – timing, opportunities, challenges, relationships,
Madonna’s path is more feminine and individual with a flavor of collaboration while Bruce’s is more about romantic idealism, relational intelligence, creativity, and joy.
They are artists with music in common, yet with very individual ways in which they approach their careers.
This is just looking at a couple of natal placements. Already, we have rich information. That said, this is the tip of the iceburg. There’s so much more to our charts and so much more information to gleen from them.
If you’d like to look at the role of money in your own chart, you might gain some insights into how you’re meant to earn money, how to create ease around money, and perhaps what some of your challenges and opportunties around money are.
