Houses
2nd house
Modern astrologers add self-worth and personal values to the second house of money and possessions.
01
Core meaning
In tradition the second house signifies wealth, movable goods, money lent, and profit or loss. Modern astrologers add self-worth and personal values to the second house of money and possessions.
02
Constructive expression
Second-house themes favor building resources and clarifying what one values.
03
Challenging expression
Their challenge is tying security too tightly to possessions.
04
Technique
The twelve houses divide the sky around the birthplace; tradition gives every area of life to one of them. A planet placed in a house brings its own themes into that area of life.
05
Houses
With Jupiter in the second house, resources tend to grow; Lilly calls it an argument of estate or fortune. It favors building income and clarifying values.
06
Natal chart use
Personal houses come from the exact birth time and place, and Solunari calculates them with Whole Sign or Equal houses. Without a birth time, the Ascendant, Midheaven and personal houses cannot be calculated; Solunari shows the civil-day range instead of inventing them.
07
Generalized solar houses
A solar house counts signs from the Sun sign: the Sun sign is the first house, the next sign the second, and so on.
08
Limitations
Solar-house readings are generalized for everyone sharing a Sun sign; they are not a substitute for a personal chart calculated from a birth time.
