Not broke—just waiting on that planetary green light [Wealth Astrology]

“Not broke—just waiting on that planetary green light.” It’s more than comfort. It’s a quiet defiance, whispered in the silence between income and expectation. Vedic astrology doesn’t promise ease, only timing. It offers a language for the pauses in fortune, the spaces where effort meets delay. In this cosmic rhythm, lack is not failure. It is suspension. The stars, still turning, have simply not yet said yes.

Saturn may sit heavy in the chart, delaying rewards not out of cruelty, but as a forge. It wants structure. Wants discipline. It holds the gate closed until the soul matures enough to open it. Mars, too, may bring financial restlessness—impulse spending, career shifts, scattered focus. Money burns before it settles. And still, these trials are not the end. They are the shaping.

Jupiter, the benevolent teacher, waits for the cue to bless. When his light comes, it feels like breathing again. The income stabilizes. The work is recognized. Venus may soften the path further, drawing beauty and ease into the material world. The green light is never random. It arrives when something has shifted within—when karma allows.

But even in growth, there’s a strange ache. A quiet understanding that what comes can also go. That cycles don’t stop turning just because we’ve arrived at spring. The prosperity once withheld may now flood in—but the memory of waiting never quite fades.

This isn’t just a financial story. It’s an emotional one. Vedic astrology, with its transits and dashas, teaches us not to grasp, but to endure. Not to panic in stillness, but to prepare. The green light comes. It always does. But until then, there is work to be done. Not just in the world, but within the self. Waiting, after all, is its own kind of movement.
