SECOND HOUSE
On a personal level, this is the house that represents the value we give to ourselves and everything we do. In it, we are able to materialize our energy into something we can touch, use, or hold in our hands, as if it was a natural consequence of the energy we carry in our body represented through our first house. The second house of our chart is the field of habit, the food we eat, with the purpose to feed our hunger created by the animal we carry in the first house. It is a source of income that strengthens our body, leading to thoughts with quality. It correlates with the sign of Taurus, speaks of one’s wealth, and is also called the house of value. Its Latin motto is lucrum, meaning “wealth.”
The second house is the house of money and money matters are largely decided with reference to the second house. It denotes the financial circumstances or fortune, profit or gain, loss or damage and general financial prosperity of the native. This house shows what the person acquires by individual effort and the degree of prosperity which he will enjoy. In short, all that is acquired through one’s power and resources come under the purview of this house. The second house indicates the individual’s worldly attainments by means of possession of extrinsic value such as money or those things held to represent money such as jewellery, precious stones and metal’s (gold, pearls, rubies, diamonds, etc.), documents, bonds, securities; stocks and shares, promissory notes. Mortgages, bank balance or other negotiable or exchangeable assets, etc.
This house deals with family It includes all close relatives of the native, his grandfather, grandmother, mother, wife, children, brothers, sisters, etc.. in the family without reference to any particular relationship. Is Moon is in the 2nd house receiving good aspect.from Jupiter and Venus, it suggests that the native has a good and big family. If the Moon in the same position is beneficially aspected by Saturn, then it shows a small family : interval between one child birth and the next will be above average : Rahu shows birth control. Another important influence of the second house is the native’s ability to express his thoughts. The second house rules “vak” meaning speech. If Ketu were to be in the 2nd house falling in a mute sign (Karaka-Cancer, Vrischika-Scorpio and Meena- Pisces are the three mute signs), then the native may be dumb. If, in a nativity Mars occupies the 2nd house receiving good aspect from Jupiter and Mercury, then the native may indulge in good conversation. If Moon happens to be in the 2nd house in good aspect from Mars, then the person will be out spoken. If Moon in the 2nd house is in good aspect to Mercury, then the native will speak clearly ; if Jupiter throws good aspect. to Moon in this position, then he will speak wisely . Venus throwing good aspect makes the native liable to talk about sex, cinema and pleasurable pursuits .the native will speak less if Saturn forms good aspect to the Moon in the 2nd house . Uranus forming good aspect to Moon in 2 shows that the individual will be eccentric in speech. if Sun forms good aspect, then the person will be a dignified speaker. Mercury, the planet of pure intellect, occupying the 2nd house identical with an airy sign, denotes that the native is likely to be a good conversationalist.
