My spouse earns more than me. When will I overtake my spouse

In India, it's often seen that husbands go to work and wives take care of the home and children. But now, education has made things more equal between men and women, especially regarding money earned. While many wives are okay with their husbands earning more, some husbands find it difficult to accept that their wives earn more due to a sense of pride. I, Dr Vinay Bajrangi, will explain what astrological yoga brings you, a spouse earning more than you and how to handle this opportunity gracefully. Also, whether and when you can earn more than your spouse.

As the difference in how much money men and women make gets smaller, men realise that women can bring home the basics and a good amount of money. When both partners earn, it's nice, but it can be uncomfortable if the husband starts feeling jealous because his wife earns more than him. This behaviour can affect your relationship for worse. Let's explore.

Astrological combinations where your spouse earns more than you 

In astrology, the seventh house is linked to your spouse, and the eighth house, the second from the seventh, is about your spouse's money. The eighth house often brings sudden and unexpected things into a person's life, sometimes even tough situations. Interestingly, it's quite common that when you're facing challenges, your spouse might do well financially!

The astrological combination where a person's spouse earns more than them is often called "Jaya Yoga" or "Vipareeta Raja Yoga." This yoga arises when malefic planets (usually Saturn, Mars, or both) are situated in the 6th, 8th, or 12th houses of the individual's birth chart, creating a unique scenario where challenges and setbacks can lead to unexpected gains and benefits.

This yoga suggests that challenges the person faces can lead to unexpected opportunities and financial growth for their spouse. The malefic influences in the challenging houses can manifest as obstacles that, when overcome, result in gains. Therefore, despite facing hurdles, the individual's spouse might achieve greater financial success.

In this context, the spouse's financial success might be symbolized by these malefic planets influencing the houses associated with money, such as the 2nd or 11th houses. It's believed that this yoga can result in financial growth for the spouse, even if the individual faces difficulties or unexpected situations.

The 8th house can tell you about your husband's wealth, as it's related to money from your spouse. A strong 8th house with positive planets, especially connected to the 7th house, could mean your spouse will be rich with significant assets.

If your second house (related to money) is connected to the 8th house, and if the ruler of your fortune (a specific point in astrology) is linked too, it might suggest that you'll get financial support from your spouse. This is also true if the ruler of the 8th house is positive and located in the second house.

Will you earn more than your spouse? 

Your birth chart can predict whether- Who will earn more- me or the spouse? The ascendant, the first house, represents you, and the seventh house represents your spouse. Similarly, the second and the eighth house represents the wealth of you and your spouse, respectively. By measuring and comparing the strength of these houses, it can be predicted who will earn more. 

When will I earn more than my spouse?

After assessing your wealth-earning capacity compared to your spouse, the next frequently asked question is- which year may I earn more than the spouse. Here, the dash and transit will matter. A favourable dasha, transit or activation of wealth yoga in the horoscope will decide the year you earn more than the spouse.
