2nd House (House of Personal Resources)

The 2nd House relates to the sign of Taurus and the planet Venus. It reflects our need for personal resources, including money, talents and the things that allow us to live as comfortably as possible. Planets or other chart points in the 2nd House define the nature of your need for establishing personal resources. For example, the planet Jupiter in the 2nd House brings its philosophical or faith-based motivation to the House and might indicate someone who studies the realm of business or in some other way brings a broad outlook to making profit.

Support for the things you want to do in life is not a trivial matter. Without a system of consistent rewards for one's efforts, it is easy to fall into poverty of spirit as well as poverty in the material sense. Planets and other chart points in the 2nd House show special interest and talents regarding this cycle of gain and reward. No points in this house does not mean you have no talents or interest here, but that these interests are not the significant endeavors of your life.
