Today’s Oracle takes us to the Virgo weekly of October 04, 2004
No matter how much money you have, keep a firm grip on your cash this month, including access to your accounts and financial documents. You could find yourself having a lot more to look after in the way of assets and business affairs, and you may need expert help. In any event, those who succeed financially and make that success last usually do so through some conservative means rather than extravagant ones. This is a very good time to begin setting aside cash that has no specific purpose but to collect and draw more money to you.

I found your comment stating to “set aside cash that has no specific purpose but to collect and draw more money to you” interesting because although spare cash for no specific purpose is hard to come by these days (my husband became unemployed due to the economic downturn a year ago), a couple of days ago, I began to think ahead to Christmas. I’d pretty much made up my mind there would be no gift giving this year. Then I observed myself shifting a small amount of money into a potential gift giving fund, although of a much smaller amount than usual. I thought I could add to the envelop each month and that by Christmas, I’d have enough accrued to at least give a gift to the grandchildren.
To put cash in a savings account these days, earns us nothing in interest – the rate being so low. So I knew there was no point in that. I’m a Libra placed on the Virgo cusp, so I have enough of the Virgo influence in me to be able to manage and “hold on to” money quite easily. Then I sat with the article longer, and in conjunction with your admonition to set aside cash that has no specific purpose but to collect and draw more money to you” I began to think about what is more important than the wealth of money, how else cash can be defined, and I cannot free myself from the thought and feeling that there is more than one way to experience wealth and how we erroneously believe it fills us up – and that be to convert it into gifts for others.
Last Christmas, I gifted others with a donation in their name to Water.Org so that those in impoverished countries could have good, clean water to drink each day. The thanks I rec’d in return and the thought of people who have been dying from thirst was better than any increment of cash being returned back to me.
And so, in this very difficult year of diminished income, my very small beginning of setting aside cash will be returned to me a hundred fold by the smiles on my grandchildren’s faces. What can be worth more than that!
