2nd House of the astral chart is where we begin to concretize and fix what we started in House 1. Here we come into contact with our resources, values and possessions, dealing with the appreciation, security and stability that we will use throughout life. It's where we transform our talents into money, benefits and tangible returns, materializing our personal energy and libido into something tangible. This house represents our ability to direct our energy towards something tangible, a natural consequence of our manifestation in the world, being the gateway to our survival instinct, where we find the food that satiates our energetic hunger, strengthening our body and enabling our thoughts and reasoning. Furthermore, the 2nd House reveals our preferences in terms of work and inherited skills, indicating the type of material things we desire and how we value what we have, which can indicate both good material fertility and consumer addictions, compulsions and unnecessary risks. It is worth highlighting that, although it is known as the "Money House", 2nd House goes far beyond that, representing everything we call "Mine" in life. This means that it is not just tangible goods, but everything we own, including interaction resources developed throughout our lives, indicating how we value things, how we acquire, treat, manage and benefit from them.

Valuing simplicity and practicality, these individuals do not waste time on fancy and risky projects, as they know how to manage their resources and businesses, maintaining a positive bank balance and making investments that guarantee security in difficult times. Because they associate personal value with purchasing power and what they accumulate throughout their lives, they seek to care for, grow and multiply their resources, improving their standard of living. However, they need to be careful, as they can fall into the trap of spending more than they earn, trying to enjoy the pleasures that their bank account, in fact, cannot provide. Some individuals with this astrological configuration can become miserly, stingy and attached to their belongings to the point of developing an emotional relationship with their objects in such a way that they prefer isolation to having to share their acquisitions with other people. It is important to always maintain this energy well to avoid this deviation in behavior. Therefore, it is essential for these natives to find a healthy balance in relation to money and material resources, learning to use their skills to conduct business responsibly, avoiding excesses and maintaining a realistic view of the value of things.

An example of this oscillation is the act of resorting to shopping to alleviate your frustrations, which can lead to a pile of debts that only increase insecurity, and in these cases the only sure solution is to hide your wallet and save. In personal relationships, there is a tendency to accumulate objects, especially those with emotional value, which bring psychological security and connection with the past, in addition to there being a strong desire to be admired and nurture self-esteem, which makes people place a high value on praise. , especially from the one you love most.

Mercury in the 2nd House Mercury in the 2nd House causes people to be naturally attracted to entrepreneurial ideas throughout their lives, where the focus is on ways to make money and increase their possessions, seeking financial security and stability. However, if this attention is too dispersed, all this energy focused on financial potential can end up being very misdirected, and it is extremely important that they know how to plan, invest and analyze the pros and cons of each action and investment that they intend to make. , thus avoiding the volatility that can arise when there is no adequate planning Because they know how to express themselves beautifully and soberly, especially when discussing matters related to their business, these natives have a special ability to earn income through activities that involve communication and persuasion, taking advantage of their natural talent for business.

Their objective is a structured and stable life in material terms and, to achieve this, they end up opting for professions that guarantee stability and prosperity, such as in public companies for example, even if this means opting for a more profitable job than the one they really like. Saturn in this placement also indicates financial restrictions, requiring serious treatment of material goods, avoiding waste and impulse purchases, since the person with this placement may eventually face direct financial challenges or opt for voluntary restrictions to achieve specific goals. It is important that natives build an adult, mature and responsible relationship with finances, and it is essential to think twice before making investments or moving money, since, in this position, financial success will depend on this personal responsibility and not on luck. In this case, it is preferable that the person learns to put away unnecessary things, preferring to invest in something that contributes to personal development and stability. A typical characteristic of these natives is that they do not like to take risks, opting for safe, long-term investments, such as fixed income. For them, goods and resources are symbols of security and personal worth. Furthermore, they may have difficulty valuing their own work and self-esteem, becoming pessimistic about their goals. However, with determination and perseverance, they can build their fortune little by little, gaining financial security over time.

One of the most striking characteristics of this native is the great difficulty he has in saving money, which can end up causing sudden changes in his economic status throughout his life, going from having nothing to earning a fortune, or vice versa. Therefore, it is important to learn how to work with money and have a balanced idea of resources. Another point to highlight is that these are people who tend to get involved in areas such as inventions, research, alternative therapies and information technology, and can earn money by investing in innovative ideas. On the other hand, there is a tendency to engage in speculation and to enjoy risks, games or dangers.

Neptune in the 2nd House With Neptune in the 2nd House, a propensity for confusion arises in relation to money and material resources. This planetary position can result in difficulties in managing finances, leading the person to experience excessive spending or difficulties in balancing accounts. Additionally, the native may experience feelings of unworthiness regarding wealth, questioning whether they deserve or are worthy of what they have. On the other hand, there is the possibility of an overvaluation of money, which means that the person can make the search for wealth an irrefutable and priority personal objective, seeking status and material security as a way of validating their own identity. This can lead to vanity, excessive materialism and the creation of an illusion of an unreal world, where happiness is directly linked to the possession of material goods, and it is important to develop sensitivity in relation to money itself. By developing this sensitivity, the native can transform these challenges into opportunities for personal growth, since, by recognizing and working on his illusory and emotional tendencies in relation to finances, he can learn to use his money in a more mature and conscious way. This involves cultivating a healthy relationship with money, based on authentic values and a deeper understanding of your financial needs and goals. Pluto in the 2nd House With Pluto in the 2nd House, a person has a remarkable ability to remake themselves and rebuild their lives from scratch. Her keen sensitivity allows her to perceive the potential of things and resources in a profound way, which improves her ability to make money. These financial ups and downs, common for those with this placement, cause the person to build a strong attachment to what they have, seeking security and power through money and possessions, which can end up causing them to closely link their self-esteem to material goods, starting to see money as a "great savior" in his life. In this sense, it is extremely important that the person recognizes the importance of separating their self-esteem from their material possessions, understanding that the true value of a person lies in their essence and their internal qualities, not in their tangible possessions and learning to value and use internal resources, such as skills, talents and personal values. Thus, by working on this perception and practicing emotional detachment from money, the native will be able to recognize and honor their own abilities, talents and needs, regardless of material possessions. This will not only promote greater personal growth and maturity, but will also contribute to a more balanced and satisfying life in all areas, making you more resilient and able to face financial challenges with a more positive perspective and centered on your true essence.
