The 2nd house in astrology is the area of life where we develop a relationship with our resources and belongings. In this area of the chart you are called to evaluate your attachments to the material world. In addition, the 2nd house is the place where you learn the value of self-worth, pleasure, satisfaction, and delight. Planets placed in this part of the chart will partially represent your capacity to generate wealth, resources, and income. Planets here need to experience life “hands on.” 

The 2nd house symbolizes your relationship with possessions and values. This can relate on a spiritual, physical, or emotional level. How you define yourself based on what your belongings are, your beliefs, the money you have, the relationships you are in, or anything else you can use as a physical definer of who you are can be experienced through the 2nd house. Deciding what you own or if your possessions “own” you is a core lesson of this area of the astrological chart.
