*The next step only applies if you have planets/objects in your second house. If you don’t this does not mean the house is inactive/unimportant. It still holds significance and can be analyzed through the first 2 steps.*

3. Check if there are any planets residing in your second house. This will let you know what active energies are playing out in this area of your life and what/how you should be channeling them.

Example Chart - This person has planets ♃ Jupiter & The Moon ☽ residing in their 2nd House. What can this indicate?

• This person may be in a field where they’re constantly growing, expanding & widening their skillset, they may have many outlets & options vs a straight/direct path when it comes to their pursuits/purpose/gifts (Jupiter in Libra), they may also have a lot of support and resources available to them through family & partners (Jupiter rules 4H & 7H in their chart).
• Their purpose/work/gifts may be in alignment with providing nourishment & care to others (Moon) possibly through aesthetic & beauty (Libra) , their gifts/value may be very much needed/wanted in the community (Moon rules 11H in their chart) . It may be important for this person to also be aware that their emotional state/wellbeing can heavily affect what they put out in the world, so their best work will come from working in high spirits & good energy & that when they are not well they must put their mental/physical/emotional health first or it serves no one well.

Question - Do you have any planets in your second house? What is the action/embodiment of the planet(s) & how do you interpret this for yourself?

You can refer back to my Astro Planets post for understanding on the planets actions/embodiment.
