Hi all,
Say that a client wants to know what to invest their money in. Do we look to the 11th Rasi? (cfr. big gains)
To take an example:
11th rasi is Aries, the ruler Mars is opposite, in Libra, alongside Saturn. (maybe not ideal for investments to start with, but neither is keeping the money in the bank where inflation will just decrease it's worth...)
The bhava cusp is in the 10th rasi: Pisces, with ruler Jupiter in the 6th house (Scorpio, ruled by the earlier mentioned bad Mars). Also present in the 6th, alongside Jupiter: a rapidly decreasing Moon. The Jupiter itself is not in bad shape.
This is not a topic I've really studied before, or come across in my Western astrology studies, so I'm interested to hear if Vedic astrology offers insights.
many thanks!

The ups and downs is ruled by the Moon. Investments itself I believe is ruled by Mercury (which is also the lagna lord in this case).
D-1 is the rasi, D-2 is the hora (wealth need to take care of oneself and responsibilities) and D-4 is the fortune (wealth over and above). The 11th house is the gains from others.
Ju with Mo is one of the super-conjunctions in terms of how one feels. In Scorpio, Mo is close to debilitation. I'm still inclined to pay a lot more attention to how Mercury is in D-1 and the D-4. Moon in D-1 and D-2.
All that being said, logically, investments need to be diversified AND easier to manage when it is kept simple. One example below :
Divide certain % between short term needs and long term growth.
For long term : Allocate certain % to equity (risky with high return potential over long term), certain % in gold maybe.
For short term :Allocate certain % to immediate needs (cash), certain % to short term debt (or HYSA, immediate but returns better than just keeping in cash)
And keep in mind taxes, different countries have different tax methods. These % of allocation are so personal, so the individual needs to figure it out. (It's Mercury again that figures out with trial and error, haha)
