Is my brother telling the truth?

[Lily1983]

I can’t sleep and was looking back at old message interactions I had with my older brother who I haven’t spoken to since early February. Some were good interactions and some were bad. I feel heartbroken.

It’s regarding their huge debt which he and his wife claim my family is responsible for, but he refused to get a job since 2016 and earn his own income. The problem was my father never gave him a budget and was manipulated to let my brother’s wife handle all our family earnings as she previously worked as an accountant, but when we asked for proof of documents for this debt, they both argued that it’s an invasion of privacy and we should just pay it into their savings account. Now my parents have no savings and have to rebuild.

What really hurt the worst was last year, my brother and his wife claimed her parents would lose their apartment and truck if we don’t pay some of the debt as she had to borrow money so we paid and had to borrow money to live on for a few months, but then my brother and his wife went on holiday abroad and stayed in an all inclusive resort with her parents and sisters and their husbands for one week, a couple of months later! We don’t understand where her relatives got the money as they don’t make enough to go on holiday abroad.

Earlier this year, we all realised a lot of things don’t add up and we all believe they scammed us.

The horary chart shows that the question is too early to ask? Does this mean more will be revealed? Or will we get proof in the future over this situation? I feel so hurt how my brother’s wife acts so entitled to our money and we cut them both off financially earlier this year.

My brother now has a low earning full time job and claims he lost two stone since February. I feel so sorry for him because I feel like he’s just trying to please his demanding wife and under her control, but at the same time, he doesn’t want a full time office job which could make him earn a lot more. Also my father has always been helping him and giving him money and opportunities which he always wasted since he was a teenager even when he behaved badly. Last year, my brother was boasting about wanting to be a househusband. He was so comfortable making his elderly father slave away working in his late 70s while my brother just helped with emails a couple of hours a day and took ages completing one email each time.

Does the horary chart also help with resolutions with the questions asked? What should I do? Every professional and personal advice I received said to leave him alone as he has to grow up and learn how to be a responsible adult. Also to focus on helping my elderly parents and myself. My father feels awful that he spoiled him rotten. Also it’s really sad my brother married someone who just wants other people’s money and uses their young children as a weapon.

Hello Lily,

What a deeply sad story, particularly the emotional side of it. My heart goes out to you.

Also thank you, from an astrological perspective it is very helpful to have such a detailed background.
Your question, the wording of it. Your story here revolves around lies and deceit though you manage to put the question in a positive manner. Is brother telling the truth. Maybe that says something about you, maybe about your hopes.

I am writing that because in the chart you are signified by the Moon, your brother by the Sun and the applying sextile aspect, gives a first hint towards a yes answer. Is that a yes on the one sentence question or a yes to everything else you wrote, it becomes a valid question.
Seeing the rest of the chart I'm somewhat sorry to say I concluded the latter, yes your story is true.

You, through the Moon are well places in the Moon's homesign.
Brother, the Sun has minimal strength in the first degrees of Virgo.

Lying, telling the truth, it's about communication, a third house matter. Your brother's communication is his third house, the cusp in Libra and ruled by Venus. In your house of family, father or brother's house of wealth, money.
That Venus is in fall, falling communication it's not hard to see the idea of failing communication.
Besides that Venus is opposite Neptune and although Neptune is not used in traditional horary, it very often signals lies, deceit and the like.
That Neptune is on top of the chart, showing himself quite clearly, a small thing to notice, none the less there.

You will find your brother's spouse as the ninth Aquarius house cusp in the chart, Saturn-ruled. Her communication is The third house from there, Aries holds the cusp, Mars rules it.
That Mars is in your 12th house, Gemini, in his terms. That could point to her setting the terms as you mentioned. Your twelfth house is what is kept from you, the things you are in the dark about, potentially harmful to you. Again that idea of lies comes up with her communication.

In the twelfth house Jupiter is present too, ruling the eight house from your brother, his debts, dark doings, powerplays. I'm not saying that this whole debt-story is a lie, there is evidence it's being used as such.

Sometimes the antiscia can show some hidden aspects to the planets placements. There's nothing there in terms of lying but your brother's, the Sun's antiscion falls 1 degree of the Chiron placement in the chart. The wound you can not heal. It's the sadness and speaks a bit towards this chart's radicality, it being a good chart. Your father showing up as the lost for direction Mercury in your brother's house is another piece of evidence towards that.

As lying is not too easily spotted in a chart and the reading of this chart in some way goes towards your emotions I also checked for two Arabic parts, deceit and trickery&deceit.
Counted from your brother's cusp, the first is at 29.46 of Aquarius, inside the house of your brother's spouse and almost exact in between or on the midpoint of Pluto and Neptune. Where power play and lies meet each other so to say.
Trickery&deceit as counted from your brother's cusp is at 21.07 Sagittarius minutes away from trining Mercury your father. To me the trine shows the ease of energy flowing, the way your father was tricked into believing the lies lies told.
Oddly enough, when counted from the ascendant, you, it shows up as opposing the Chiron placement again.

The story here is almost longer then your original post and I hope that shows the carefulness this chart deserves. Again, lies are not easily spotted through horary and you should be aware of that, I think. There is some evidence here and to me the chart shows that your story is correct.

As for advice, police, a lawsuit?
You had, in my opinion, good advice to leave brother be and focus on bettering the situation. In that regard your Moon is at home, free to go safely through the emotions and come out on the better side of it. Your finances are ruled by her as well so same goes for that. The sextile to the Sun on a personal level may make it that bit more easy to put your heart in?

In hopes that's clear, be it a long stretch of text.

The Arabic part of truth and falsity: 3h cusp + Moon - Mercury = Gemini 27°20
As you can see this lot squares the Venus/Neptune opposition and the ruler of the lot being Mercury rx also suggests untruthfulness.
So yes your brother is lying.
