Meaning

What the 2nd house covers

The 2nd house shows how you earn and spend money. It also covers the things you own and the way you look after them. Many astrologers read it as your sense of self-worth, because what you value and what you think you deserve are closely connected.

Planets here show your attitude to money. Some people save carefully. Others spend quickly and earn again. The sign on the cusp and its ruler add detail.

A succedent house: it follows an angular house. Planets here build and keep what was started.
