This week I'm teaching you all about the house that takes up A LOT of your brain space...your 2nd house.

🏠 Here's why this house is so IMPORTANT...it is the house of money and material possessions.

In this material world of ours, which requires money to access our basic needs and to create more freedom of choice, we spend so much time thinking about how much money we have, how we want or need to spend that money and how we can obtain more money.

 Let's get to know the 2nd House.

πŸ€“ The 2nd house represents:

  • your values
  • what you value
  • beliefs about money
  • your relationship with money
  • how you create wealth
  • what blocks the flow of money

Whichever sign you have in your 2nd house flavors all of these aspects of you.

πŸͺ Whichever planets you have in your 2nd house also flavor all of these aspects of you.

Whichever house, the planet that rules the sign occupying your 2nd house, is placed in your chart, flavors all of these aspects of you, as well.

For example: If you're a Sagittarius ♐️ rising, you have Capricorn ♑️ occupying your 2nd house (by whole sign house system). Capricorn β™‘️ is ruled by Saturn β™„. If Saturn β™„ is in your 5th house, you're responsible with your money AND you love to use it for hobbies, creativity and fun, more than the average Capricorn 2nd house person.

😎 Let's dive deep into the SIGN you have occupying your 2nd house.
