Astrological House Number: 2 Keywords: Income and Earnings. Resources. Self worth. Values. Security. Money. In your natal chart any planets here help or hinder the following information: Any planets or aspects to the second house will bring some or all of the above keywords into focus. Your income and earning can be deduced by understanding the 'sign' on the cusp for the different 'signs' will approach income and earnings differently. For example if you have Sagittarius on the cusp of your second house (a fire sign) your approach to money and how to get it will be different to a Piscean approach (a water sign) if Pisces were on the cusp of the second. [Question] Think about what you know of the 12 signs and how they would approach their income and earnings. The second house has many levels for when we look at questions of self worth it must be understood that we value (or undervalue) ourselves at various stages of life. For example you would think (value) yourself very differently at age 7, 13, 21, 30 etc. What we value in life will also go through changes as we mature. It's not often mentioned but this house is also the area of your chart where you look for what you have to give in bed! For it's the house of sexual self worth. Although we tend to think of money as important think about this, it's only a piece of paper or metal with a number stamped or imprinted upon it. We give it value.I'm not saying money is not important (for you cannot go the supermarket without it) but if you place too much importance on a piece of paper then your values need to be updated! Money is a creative force and should be looked upon it in this way. The sign on the cusp of the second or any planets contained there will help you understand what I am trying to convey. For example if you had Uranus in the 2nd (the unpredictable influence) you might come into a lot of money unexpectedly and give it all away (to some charity or another). Or, if you had Venus in the 2nd and you came into some money it's likely you'd keep it all to yourself (and share it with loved ones). [Question] Look back on your life and see where your values have changed. Also, think about your survival mechanisms for something or someone that may've threatened your security at some point in life may or may not 'threaten' you now. The second house is the house of your Inner Resources, get to know it, love it, value it and you'll be pleasantly surprised how much more 'secure' you'll become. If you love someone and never tell him or her, do it now. If you've been a little too 'spiritual' then it's time to become a little more 'material' for there's nothing wrong with having a little something in the bank. If you've been a little too 'material' then it's time to develop some 'spiritual' interests, maybe doing something for or giving something to those less fortunate.
