In Mundane Astrology, finance, banking, and national economy are analyzed through planetary positions, aspects, and house activations.

• 2nd House: national wealth, domestic economy, financial resources
• 8th House: shared wealth, taxation, loans, foreign investments
• 10th House: governmental financial policy, banking institutions, economic regulations
• Jupiter, Saturn, Venus, Mercury, and Pluto: key planets influencing finance and economy

By tracking transits, progressions, and eclipses, astrologers can forecast financial booms, economic crises, banking reforms, and shifts in national wealth distribution.
