Steps
What Does the Second House Represent?
-
1The Second House governs money, possessions, and value. Think of this house as being responsible for your personal resources and sense of self-worth. After all, the value you place on your finances and possessions affects how you view yourself. [2] X Research source
- For instance, you may be a high achiever who hopes for financial freedom and the ability to travel or live in luxury, or you might not place much importance on money—choosing instead to value your natural talents even if they don't earn you a high salary.
-
2The Second House is naturally ruled by Taurus and Venus. Since Taurus is the main zodiac sign of the Second House and it's known for being grounded and practical, this can have a stabilizing effect on material possessions. With Venus ruling the Second House, its planetary influence helps you realize what you want out of life—whether you favor luxurious things or you value status for instance. [3] X Research source
- If you check your birth chart, you might see other planets or signs in your Second House. We'll help you figure out what each sign and planet placement means in this article.
Interpreting Zodiac Signs in the Second House
-
1Aries in the Second House: You're pragmatic and great at planning. Since Aries is ruled by Mars, it’s not surprising that you’re super competitive if Aries is in the Second House. You also tend to throw yourself into projects and you've got lots of energy. Since you place a lot of importance on material things, try to be generous so you don't come off as possessive.
-
2Taurus in the Second House: You're practical, but you love luxurious things. You might find that it's easy for you to save up toward a goal and you're probably good with business. Since Taurus naturally rules the Second House, really lean into these strengths! [4] X Research source
-
3Gemini in the Second House: You probably have good intentions, but it's hard to stick to your plans or budget. Since Gemini is a mutable air sign, if it's in your Second House you've got a flexible mindset along with great ideas. However, you can become bored or convinced to change your plans.
-
4Cancer in the Second House: You're cautious with money, but it's because you look for security. After all, Cancer is the sign that’s associated with the home and domestic life. To you, money and possessions offer you opportunities for helping others. Your financial wellbeing is greatly tied to your emotions, so saving is super important to you.
-
5Leo in the Second House: You're proud of your material successes and not afraid to show them off! This might mean you splurge on others or treat yourself to luxurious things. Because you're so driven, it's easy to accidentally assume that others want the same things, so try not to be patronizing.
-
6Virgo in the Second House: You're practical, so it's easy for you to manage your money. Virgo's a grounded Earth sign, so if it's in your Second House, you're organized and you do a good job of making ends meet. However, you may feel anxious about making money. Try to relax and learn to trust yourself more.
-
7Libra in the Second House: You're resourceful and great at handling your wealth. Since you're always seeking balance, you seem to earn money when you need it and share it when you've got it! Just remember to use your skills so you feel personally satisfied.
-
8Scorpio in the Second House: You can be successful and ambitious, but you don't like to show off your wealth. Maybe it's your secretive nature or maybe money just doesn't interest you. You're probably more interested in taking charge and trying an exciting new venture than worrying about the salary it will bring you.
-
9Sagittarius in the Second House: Sagittarius is a fiery sign that values confidence and trying new things over stability. If it's in your Second House, it might mean that you're not driven to earn a steady paycheck if it means working a boring job. You can use your enthusiasm to chart your own path to success.
-
10Capricorn in the Second House: You're cautious because financial security is important to you. If you have this Earth sign in your Second House, you're great at your material possessions and emotions. You have realistic expectations and you place a high value on earning what you have. This means you can be a little inflexible, so don't be upset if things don't go your way sometimes.
-
11Aquarius in the Second House: You don't feel a deep connection with money or possessions. When it comes to making money, you're more interested in finding creative or unique jobs. Since you aren't emotionally tied to things or your money, you do have to watch your spending.
-
12Pisces in the Second House: If you have this mutable water sign, you probably aren't too concerned with money—as long as you're getting by, you feel fine. In fact, you put more importance on your relationships. This can be great if friends can help you out in a pinch.
Interpreting Planet Placements in the Second House
-
1If the Sun is in the Second House, you're proud and driven to protect your possessions. It's easy for you to see yourself through what you own, but it can also make you proud and focused on your own needs. Try putting some of your energy into strengthening your relationships with others.
-
2If the Moon is in the Second House, you may be unpredictable when it comes to money. You might feel generous and giving, but your spending habits can shift abruptly when you suddenly feel the need to be frugal. Since the moon is strongly associated with emotions, your spending habits will definitely be tied to how you're feeling. [5] X Research source
-
3If Mercury is in the Second House, you value practical thinking. Mercury controls your rational thoughts, so you're probably focused and like to work at your own pace. It's not much of a surprise, then, that your planning and dedication make you successful.
-
4If Venus is in the Second House, you'll be attracted to quality and status. You're well-known for your love of nice things and you feel an emotional attachment to fine possessions. Although you often have a generous spirit, watch out that you don't overspend!
-
5If Mars is in the Second House, you're known for being a hard worker. Mars rules physical energy and influences motivation. Since you value ambition and achievement, it's no surprise that you put a lot of importance on material things and success. Watch out, though—you can still be careless with money.
-
6If Jupiter is in the Second House, you seem particularly lucky with money. Jupiter influences success and abundance, so it's a great sign to have in your Second House. Since gifts and wealth comes easily to you, you might over-indulge from time to time. It probably helps that you have a strong sense of self and that has a hand in your success.
-
7If Saturn is in the Second House, you might find it hard to meet financial goals. Saturn is associated with boundaries and limitations, so you might feel as though you never have much luck with money. However, try not to associate your finances with your sense of self.
-
8If Uranus is in the Second House, you probably think of possessions as liabilities. You're much more interested in being able to live a flexible lifestyle where you're not tied down to a salary or the things you own. To you, money is simply the means to live your best life.
-
9If Neptune is in the Second House, you trust your gut when it comes to money. You're not driven to accumulate wealth or possessions—you value yourself more. Fortunately, this means you're more likely to trust yourself when it comes to making potentially profitable decisions.
-
10If Pluto is in the Second House, you're driven to accumulate and protect your possessions. You might feel like you're obsessed with reaching financial goals and you're anxious about losing money or feeling helpless. However, you're great with financial planning and strategy, so remind yourself that you can take care of your well-being. [6] X Research source
