As I mentioned in the other threads in my little basics series, the houses roughly correspond to the ideas of the signs. So if the first house of identity and ‘personality’ relates to Aries, then the Second House relates to Taurus.

The Second House relates to issues that deal with the principles of personal possessions and value. By value I do not mean just money (though that is undoubtedly also a part of it) but also the things that you value. What are your ‘values’? The Second House will describe them! Look to the 2H (and its house ruler – the planet relating to the sign on the cusp, if Aries, then Mars etc) to see your attitudes toward money and toward your values. Someone with Jupiter here or with Sagittarius on the cusp might, for example, place a lot of value on higher education, foreign travel and philosophies etc. But also their attitude toward money may be Sagittarian also – perhaps someone who likes to gamble or splash out, or is always spending money on travelling or on new courses.

Planets here parcticularly can show how we spend our money and what what way our income is. For example I have Uranaus in my 2H – Uranus in my chart is Aquarius so Uranus is also the dispositor of my Moon which relates to comfort and security – anyway with my Uranus in the 2H I have worked in jobs where, for some reason, tax is calculated wrong and I’m paid less than I should be and have to wait for the following month. In my last job I worked for a company that was tied into the property market. For about 5 months on and off we wouldn’t get paid on pay day. We wouldnt’ get told until that day either. I remember waking up and looking at my account in the red and then two weeks later I would get paid without warning. Once I got paid on one day for two months wages – it was just that erratic. In the end I had worked two months without having been paid and then the company went into administration – I lost my two months wages. This is very much the product of disruptive Uranus in my 2H, the latter conclusion where I didn’t get paid at all might be seen by looking at Neptune, also in the 2H.

What is your experience of the 2H? What are your values? How do you spend your money?
