The querent was considering starting a new business and asked whether it was a good idea and whether it would bring a worthwhile profit.

​

The querent is signified by the Moon at 6° Scorpio, the business by Mars at 19° Leo, and the potential profit by Venus at 13° Sagittarius.

At this degree of Sagittarius, Venus has very little essential dignity and is about to lose what little it has. This indicates that any profit would be minimal at the beginning and would soon diminish to nothing.

​

The potential customers and their money are signified by Saturn at 3° Libra. Its position shows that they do have funds, but they are not inclined to buy from the business. Saturn’s direct opposition to the business’s house cusp, combined with its placement in the business’s fall, testifies that the venture will not be worthwhile, as the profit will be minimal at the begin and would then decline to nothing.

​

And so it proved: the querent decided to start the business anyway, but the prediction was accurate. He struggled to attract enough customers, and in to avoid losing money, he eventually had to sell his stock at cost price.
