Hi all,

Naturally it's best to have the 1st, 2nd, 7th, and 10th houses
strong and dignified in a business election. However, it's
difficult to get this kind of sensational election.

So given a choice between the 1st, 2nd, and 10th house being
strong and dignified versus the 1st, 7th, and 10th house being
strong and dignified, which would you take?

It seems logical that the "deal" 7th house precedes the "money
coming in" 2nd house. No deal - no money coming in.

But which house do you all think is more important? 2nd or 7th?

Thanks,


Joe

That also has something to do with the business, not all business's are Deal oriented. for instance if you had a diner, you might want 2,4 and 10 significators in agreement, money, feeling of belonging, success, etc.

If you were in a business where you negotiate a lot, then certainly the 7th house would be important, if you were working in TV, 3,5 and 10, at the very least 3 and 10.

If you were in banking you would want very strong 2nd house and 8th house significator to be in some good relationship to 2nd significator, with 7 and 10 being next most important I should think?

what if you are in the wine industry, wouldn't you want significant Jupiter in an expansive position?

etc... so what kind of business?

Hi Granny,

I'm selling gourmet crackers to retailers.

However, please correct me if I'm wrong but it seems that all
businesses are 7th house oriented.
A diner has 7th house customers eating their food.
A TV station has 7th house viewers watching their programs.
A bank has 7th house customers depositing their money.
A Wine business has 7th house retailers as customers.

I'm more looking at the 1st, 2nd, 7th, and 10th as taking care of
the basics. Other houses matter too, but the basics seem to be
essential.

And again, please correct me if I'm wrong of course.
I just want to get things right.

Well I may be wrong, but it seems to me that is not correct because it suggests negotiation, not purchase. 7th can be marriage and partnership, but it is also open enemy and negotiation. in business, if you are in a partnership, then yes, 7th is important, and if you are a lawyer or salesperson then yes, but if you have no negotiating or partnership going on, it loses some importance.

You on the other hand are talking about a product you need to market and that is definitely something where I would want to have a reasonable 7th.

Okay, so you want to start a business, and it is selling, to restaurants, what would make a good chart?

Also are there any constraints here, are you talking about when to draw up papers? when to fill out forms or???? what constitutes the actual beginning of the business? if a partnership, then you can definitely say from digning partnership agreement, between each other, but if on your own... what to you constitutes the actual beginning of the business? first sale? applying for the business liscense? etc. if it can only be 8-5 monday through thursday you have more constraints, but if it has some less constrained opportunity you do have the ability to make a stronger choice. It could also be construed as the first moment you "open the doors" for business. so what are we working with here?

bread is a very 4th house thing, might want a good 2,4,7 and ten and with the planets all bunched right now, that isnt necessarily impossible. possibly get them all in the third house(marketing) or eleven or even 9?

Where is your location, what is your criteria for opening business and what is your time frame, let me see what I can come up with.
