Astrology Secrets of a Musician Explained
Indications of musical talent and success in astrology consist of having Jupiter, Sun, Moon, Mercury and Venus in the second house, which can all be indicative of being able to make money from using your voice and singing. This is because the second house represents various things such as our voice, finances and savings. Having your Sun, Moon, Venus, Mercury and Jupiter in your fifth house can also be suggestive of musical talent and success because it represents artistic and creative hobbies and entertainment. But, the main theme here is, really, to sit back and let natural self expression radiate through you.
