Planets in the second house

A planet in this house brings its function into the field of money, possessions, skills, self-support. The planet’s sign describes style, its aspects describe supporting or competing functions, and proximity to a house cusp can make the neighboring house relevant depending on the interpretive method.

Transits through the second house

A transit activates the topics of this house for a period. The transiting planet describes the type of process; aspects to natal planets identify which existing chart functions are contacted. Use an exact calculation rather than a generic Sun-sign horoscope.
