Sun in the second House

Natal Sun in 2nd House (1)

(Sepharial)

Gain by superiors and association with persons of rank and title. The native is inclined to extravagance and luxury. Gains by high offices and affairs of government.

(Dane Rudhyar)

In the second house, the Sun tends to stimulate the production of inner or outer wealth - that is, the outpouring of collective, ancestral, or social energies into the personality; the result may be that these collective energies - which may manifest as money - will overpower the person's individuality, that they will use him instead of being used by him. Vitality can become possessiveness; 'having' may overcome 'being'. On the other hand, the person may become an eminently successful manager of wealth and fulfill his individual destiny in this way.

(Sydney Omarr)

The Sun in this position is quite favorable. The personality is integrated where needs are concerned. The native is able to distinguish between desire and actual requirements. This position often 'attracts' money.

(Isabel Hickey)

Here the desire for power is concerned with resources, values and material success. With the Sun in the second house there is the power to attract finances and gratitudes. Desire for material success is strong, and desire is potent. There is a strong stubbornness, and with it a stability and a persistence. If they want something, they never give up until it is attained. Because energy, backed by action, is extremely powerful, they usually attain what they want. Where the first house Sun wants recognition on the personality level, the second house Sun is interested in material values. If the Sun is unaffliected, there is security where resources are concerned. If the Sun is affliected, there is ability to attract money; but often there is no happiness with it.

(Marcia Moore and Mark Douglas)

Concern with values and possessions. The Sun in the second house gives a facility for handling money and an appreciation of the comforts it can buy. There is a tendency to accumulate status symbols, to lavish care and attention upon them, and to adorn the body in ways that indicate refinement and an individualistic sense of style. The person with a second-house Sun can be generous to the point of extravagance, but he likes his good works to be recognized. A great deal of energy goes into making money solely for the sake of spending it again. Benefits are often obtained through the father and through the patronage of superiors.

(Frances Sakoian and Louis Acker)

The Sun in the Second House indicates natives who must learn the lesson of stewardship in the correct use of material resources. This will be in relation to the affairs ruled by the sign the Sun is in. They must learn to use money and property constructively, in ways beneficial to life, and not merely for their personal satisfaction.

The sign position gives an important clue to the way the person will acquire and utilize wealth. For instance, if the Sun is in Gemini in the Second House, the native is likely to earn money and spend it through intellectual pursuits; if the Sun is in Leo in the Second House, the native might earn money in a managerial capacity and spend it in pursuit of theater arts and romantic or social endeavors. In any event, these natives will want to earn money since they have a strong will to attain financial independence.

If the Sun is afflicted in the Second House, the natives may believe they can achieve prestige merely through wealth. They also tend to impose their will on others for purposes of material self-aggrandizement. In addition, they may squander money on expensive luxuries for purposes of display and ego gratification.

(Jan Spiller and Karen McCoy)

Pinpoints the right to establish personal values and the ability to attract monetary success.

(Robert Hand)

You love security, which for you means being surrounded by comfortable and familiar objects. You like to own things - toys, books, whatever - because it makes you feel good. The only problem is that you may try to own more things than you really need, so that your life is cluttered with material possessions. You are likely to be a collector of some sort; and since you have an excellent sense of value, your collection will probably be quite valuatble, as long as you are systematic. Otherwise you will be surrounded with vast quantities of junk.

It is difficult for you to part with your possessions; and you may find it difficult to share, but if you want to have good friendships, you will have to learn how. You are even possessive of your friends, and don't like to share them with anyone else. If a friend pays too much attention to someone else while you are together, you are likely to feel jealous. But you have to learn to share that person with others. Your friend can like someone else and still like you.

As you get older, you will have a strong sense of values, which you will not compromise. Just be sure that your values go beyond material objects and that what you value is worthwhile. You have the ability to preserve a strong sense of integrity and security in this changing world.

(John Townley)

Your style of loving is very concrete, and you go out of your way to give your lover tangible evidence of your affections. A few words of love are not enough without a gift to back them up. You also particularly treasure any tokens of love that your partner gives you, for they represent an assurance that the relationship is thriving.

Similarly, the highest values you seek in a lover are faithfulness and loyalty, qualities you are most willing to demonstrate once you have chosen the person you feel is just right for you.

But you don't take a lover hastily; in fact, it takes you quite a while to really settle into a relationship. Once that is done, you are a model of steadfastness and often are the main source of stability in the union. Remember, however, that your partner may not be quite so settled and may require more freedom while still remaining true to you. Therefore, you should try to be more tolerant with your love than you would be with yourself and avoid letting feelings of jealousy hurt your relationship.

(Julia and Derek Parker)

The acquisition of possessions is extremely important to the subject, who will feel a great sense of pride in showing these off on every possible occasion. He or she will not simply want to gloat over an ever-increasing bank balance or folio of stocks and shares, but rather will want the world to know of such success.

Generosity is usual unless it is mitigated by other influences (a 'careful' Sun sign, for instance). In some cases, the acquisitive powers can extend into the personal life, with the partner becoming yet another possession. The Taurean tendency is to own; and when the Sun is in the second house the attitude is 'Look - this is mine!' If this happens, problems can arise since the subject is insensitively bulldozing over the real needs of his partner.

Pleasure is important to the individual, such as a concentration on enjoyment of expensive, rich food in glamorous surroundings. All of these tendencies will be encouraged by positive aspects between the Sun and Jupiter, while either an opposition or a square may make the subject go overboard in second house matters.

Venus will not be very far away if the Sun is in the second house - and do not forget that Venus rules this house. If there is an aspect between the Sun and Venus, the influence of the Sun's house position will be increased, especially in relation to the overall influence of Venus itself.

Hard work will always be undertaken to achieve the subject's ever-increasing materialistic needs - his solar vitality will be powered by the material results of his efforts, and he will bask in the light of any glory that comes his way.

(Howard Sasportas)

If the Sun is in the second house, this area of life should be met with vitality and forcefulness: there is a pressing need to develop personal skills, values and resources to achieve a sense of individuality. They need to find and define what constitutes security for them, rather than relying on other people to provide safety, money or resources. A sense of power and self-worth can be gained through acquiring money and possessions and through the ability to manage and organize the material world. Some may incline towards status-seeking, showiness and extravagance to prove their value and enhance an insecure internal identity. They can be generous with money and possessions, but usually expect some sort of recognition in return. Wherever the Sun is is where the personal ego is seeking acknowledgement. The impeccable, internationally loved singer and actor Maurice Chevalier had the Sun in Virgo in the 2nd: he was born in a slum and died a millionaire.

The nature of whatever planet is in the 2nd house is valued because those qualities offer us security. Therefore, with the Sun in the 2nd, security comes through developing and possessing such attributes as strength, nobility, authority, a sense of specialness, and courage. People with this placement will feel safer in life if they foster these traits, regardless of how much money is in the bank.

(Stephanie Camilleri)

With the Sun here there is instinctive good taste, with a feeling for the basic worth of things and the ability to translate this awareness into dollars and cents. There is a need to be surrounded by beauty and quality. These people are strongly attracted to those who can provide them with the environment they seek. Generally 'handy', they are able to create attractive environments, so this is a good position for architects, builders, carpenters, landscapers, and interior decorators, as well as fashion designers, dressmakers, hairstylists, jewelers, perfume and cosmetics manufacturers, and all those who are adept at enhancing the environment or the body.

Very sensual, they have a powerful sexual charisma that enables them to attract others easily. They are usually quite successful at establishing sexual relationships with those they desire. If other aspects frustrate this, it can be a source of great physical and emotional suffering because the desire nature is so powerful. It is very important that there be sufficient love from both parents in infancy and childhood. Otherwise, the need for it may manifest later in agonizing desires and abnormal sex relationships. The stability of a dependable on-going sexual relationship is a real need. They will work hard at a marriage because of this. Separation and divroce only occur when the sexual aspect of the relationship fails.

The desire to be independent of others is a powerful motivating force that can result in success. It can also create difficulties by keeping them from joining partnerships, groups, compnaies, staffs, or other organizations that are necessary to establish any kind of work / career position in the community. most women, and some men, with this Sun position are into body culture in some way, frequently dancing, or, if the Sun is in a water sign, swimming.

Natal Sun in 2nd House (2)

(Haydn Paul)

This involves the right use of resources and creating an attitude and spirit of abundance. The issue of materialism and possessions will be prominent, and you will tend to focus on material security and financial affluence as a means of defining your identity and as a channel for self-expression.

You may believe that all problems can be solved whenever sufficient money is available; and while this can minimise many of life's difficulties, a broader perspective may need to be gained. Resources are not just monetary or possessions, but also include inner wealth which can be reflected through personal qualities, talents and skills that are available for use too. Working consciously with these can help to develop your sense of unique individuality, and begin to transform that attraction towards material possessions into an appreciation of the wealth that is latent within your nature.

Displacing security needs into acquisitions is rarely fulfilling, and many resources can be misdirected into luxury-spending to maintain a consumer-driven society and to achieve ego gratification through conspicuous affluence as a visible symbol of success. While social status and prestige can be attained through the accumulation of money, this does not necessarily imply a corresponding quality of person. The most effective application of the Sun in this house is to unfold those personal qualities and talents through channels which can generate a satisfactory income, so that both inner and outer fulfilment can move in harmony. Applying monetary wealth in terms of dominance over others will prove unfulfilling, and should be avoided.

Effort may be needed to define your needs and values, so that through greater clarity you begin to feel less insecure. This involves 'taking stock' of your potential, aims and desires in life, setting targets and then using all resources to achieve them. Self-assertion is vital in this respect; and if you try to rely on the support of others then you are evading your development challenges. Will and application needs directing to this sphere of life so that inner wealth and power become actualised through your life.

More awareness may be required regarding stewardship of resources, to that you try to use everything in a positive creative manner, maximising the constructive influence of your nature and possessions so that either enjoyment or value is consistently achieved. This may involve sensitivity to the potential social use of money, perhaps through supporting charity or groups dedicated towards social betterment or environmental protection. The transformative and positive use of money in society is a tremendous force that can be used for good if the imagination and will is present to do so. One area that may be especially responsive to developing this new attitude is the sphere of influence indicated by your Sun sign; application there will have great impact on unfolding your whole identity. The sign may also indicate the routes through which you tend to generate wealth and release it back into the community through choice of spending.

You should be quite skilled in managing your material life, possessions and wealth; and organisation is likely to be a talent allied to a determination and stability of purpose. Development will occur from careful and conscious use of resources, rather than any selfish approach or one which manipulates others' needs or is extravagantly wasteful; if you take that narrow path, then your energies will become dissipated and restrictive. Yet taking the higher path of stewardship will become expansive and satisfying, enriching your identity and life enjoyment.

(Robert Pelletier)

You are preoccupied with material matters because you judge your success in monetary terms. You want every comfort, and you use all your resources tao gain them. But your single-minded focus may divert you from developing qualities of true worth. You must have other interests, so that you will be a well-rounded person with a variety of perspectives. You should succeed quite easily, because of your ability to help your superiors achieve their objectives. You probably like your work, and you bring much creative talent to it. You are well-informed and in control of your responsibilities. You will accept the necessity of travel as part of your job, especially if it will help your chances for growth with the company.

You have much inspiration and can develop your ideas in order to achieve your goal of early retirement. Not wanting to depend on others for anything, you apply yourself to gain the security that will make dependence unnecessary. You appreciate the assistance you received from your parents in your formative years, and you want to be sure that their needs are provided for. It is a credit to you that you don't forget anyone who has been partly responsible for your success.

You cultivate friendships with influential people, and you use the opportunities they provide to get what you want. You hope that some day you won't have to depend on anyone. You fear financial embarrassment, so you plan to achieve your goals and succeed by exploiting your creative resources. The success of others spurs you to match their accomplishments. The only alliances you are interested in are those that show financial promise. You are particularly effective in devising schemes to make a lot of money. The demands of your family stimulate you to put your talent to work. You want to give your children what they need to make their own way in life. This is an important goal for you, and you will discipline yourself to the task. If you are too demanding of your children, they may be unable to develop according to their own needs, through their own experiences. Your romantic interests are directed to finding a stable, honest, warm and loyal partner with whom to share your life. You will not settle for less even if it means delaying marriage until you are older.

A person of integrity, you usually stay within the law in your dealings, knowing too well that otherwise your gains may be loset. Getting an education could be a problem because of finances, but you are willing to work to pay for it. You know that your future goals will be easier to reach of you are formally trained and well-informed. You could succeed as an advisor or manager of other people's financial affairs, because people feel that they can trust you in these matters; and they can.

Don't be afraid to assert yourself when you have the opportunity. Your timidity at such times could cause you to lose. There is some risk in most endeavors involving money, but you won't gain anything if you don't take some chances. On the other hand, you limit your risks by your painstaking evaluation of the facts. abit of friendly advice: try to avoid talking only about money, for it tends to bore people. Cultivate an interest in other areas and show that you are familiar with topics with which other people are concerned.

(Bill Herbst)

Self-worth: The Sun in the 2nd house shows an essential life-purpose centered around the issue of self-judgement. Psychological self-worth conditions the direction and fulfillment of your life as a whole. Everything else in your life will ultimately come back to this, and the value of any experience can be measured directly from within your personal feelings about the goodness that results - out of you, for you, through you. If you don't believe in yourself, you will get nowhere in a hurry. So accept yourself first, no matter what happens; then strive to make that acceptance manifest through you.

Possession: We also see the fundamental importance of personal identity through ownership. The core purpose of your life can be understood through the experience of personal ownership - what is 'mine'? The particular kind of ownership most natural for you is indicated by other factors, such as the natal sign and interplanetary aspects of the Sun. Envy is a pitfall, but your ambition to be more by having more is a road that leads to fulfillment. Recognition of self-importance is the challenge to be achieved, while exclusion of or insensitivity toward others is the trap to be avoided.

Money: Acquiring wealth is a central issue around which your life unfolds. Is there every enough money? Can you have too much for your own good? Does money really indicate your true value as a human being? You have come to the earth to learn the meaining of 'earnings'; possessions or money are valuable to life fulfillment only to the extent that they are earned, and can thus be considered truly a product of personal labors. The pitfall involves judging everything on a purely monetary basis. The challenge is to base your self-worth on the quality of the work done to earn the money, not on the money itself, and then to enjoy the profits by reinvesting them back into yourself.

Self-exertion: The core of the self should be involved in any personal effort. Spare nothing, and be clear; either work with your whole self, or relax with your whole self. Work is the essence of self-generation, and productivity is the proof of personal value. As with all house levels where the Sun is involved, the Sun's sign and interplanetary aspects are of particular improtance in assessing the style of personal labors. The pitfalls are contradictory. You may undermine your efforts by believing on the one hand that they are undeserving, and on the other that you deserve more for your work than market value. The challenge is to feel your bodily nature fully. The sweat of your labors is the tangible expression of your spiritual goodness.

Sensuality: The pleasure principle is crucial. You're learning about the physicality of temporal existence, and a significant part of being physical is the sensation of pleasure. Touch is a uniquely personal experience, and you live from touch more than others, for it connects you with cosmic energy sources, tapping into the juice needed to operate your human machinery. Your life-purpose involves experiencing personal love for your own body; and your challenge is to make every physical event reveal its positive sensations. Squeeze every drop of pleasure out of the world.

Anand's Horoscope

Sun in Scorpio, Moon in Virgo
Internally you aspire to power more than anything else. However, the personality role you have developed does not insure reaching this goal. Your personality is expressed through service to others, usually dealing with details of organization and arrangement. Internally you feel resentful about life that fate has dealt you. You should turn your aspirations and energy in the right direction and reconcile yourself to your personality functions. You do possess a fine, analytical mind, and through concentration on this and other aspects of your character you can reach your goals in a way that will yield at least relative satisfaction.

Ascendant in Virgo, Mercury in the Second House
At the time of your birth the zodiacal sign of Virgo was ascending in the horizon. Its ruler Mercury is located in the second house.
This indicates that throughout your life you will assume a reserved, quiet, analytical, critical, and receptive attitude.
Although you are not an individual with a very strong ambition, you possess the ability to persevere and exert ingenuity.
Some selfishness is noted. However, if you are able to counteract this trait with your natural helpful and sympathetic attitude and address your positive qualities to resolve the problems of others then you will accomplish your highest spiritual duties and your degree of consciousness and perception will be expanded.
You are not afraid to work but you like to do things where you can use intellectual resources rather than mechanical ones. There is some independence here but don't try to be forceful about it because Virgo's natural habitat is one in which the person is led by some powerful authority and where the important decisions are best made by others.
You are very attentive to detail and this makes you a good worker, especially so in those jobs that require a great deal of precision and observation. You have a desire for purity and though you don't mind relating to others there is something that you do dislike: continuous intrusion of your privacy. Business and practicality should be very important in your life. Although we are not advising you to turn against your natural traits, which make you slightly reserved, we would suggest that when in love you let yourself relax and respond so as to be able to return some of the affection you are receiving.
Life will find you in many situations in which you will function as advisor and counsellor; make use of these opportunities to project the power of your creativeness.
Your life will be geared to the acquisition of money. You will do this while complying with the best social rules and manners.
You are able to effect occupations where special skill or training is required. Your communication with the public will also be an important factor in deciding whether you are successful in business or not. Your tastes are refined and you will not become involved in lower occupations.

Moon in the First House
The Moon is in the first house. This position indicates that you are strongly influenced by your feelings and moods.
Your awareness of yourself is influenced by your momentary feelings, and this perception is subject to rapid changes of mood and emotion. In time, you will learn to understand why you react as you do to various situations, and then you can begin to change your response patterns and take more control of your life.
Others sense your lack of emotional self-sufficiency and tend to get involved in your personal affairs, even if you try to prevent it. You express your sensitivity through an emotional need to nurture and be nurtured by others. While you would like to have guidance and supervision concerning your goals and objectives, it would be better to achieve your aims independently so that you will not feel obligated to others.
The advantage of this position lies in your ability to sense other people's needs and desires.
In fact, you have a calming effect on people who are under stress, and this makes you ideally suited for working with the public.


Moon Conjunct Ascendant
The Moon conjunct the Ascendant shows that you have some emotional hangups. You want close, intimate contacts with others, but you tend to keep people at arm's length because you are afraid you will become obligated to them.
You are a mass of contradictions - making demands on people but complaining when they do the same to you; expecting others to make overtures to you and withdrawing when they do. Although you are highly imaginative, you react to stimulating people in a generally negative and critical way.
On the surface you are independent, but you yearn for a quieter role in which you can enjoy the comfort of knowing that someone really cares for you. This can only happen when you lower your defensive barriers and learn to compromise by meeting people halfway.

Venus in the First House
Venus is in the first house. This is a strong position for Venus, for it adds charm to your personality and gives you an amiable and pleasant disposition.
You concentrate a great deal on your appearance and even if you are not especially beautiful or handsome, you have a quality of softness and friendliness, which endears you to many.
You like to keep beauty and grace around you as much as possible. You have a strong affinity with nature and prefer the quiet life of the country to the plastic constructions of city life.
It is likely that you grew up in an atmosphere of warmth and congeniality. Now it is easy for you to project these same feelings to family and friends, and others often count on you to restore peace in difficult situations.
You have strong inclinations toward music, art and drama and you may wish to cultivate a form of artistic expression.
You work very hard to get along with others, and you usually try to win arguments with diplomacy rather than force. You must learn to be self-assertive when necessary and to stand up for your own rights, forcefully if need be. Otherwise, people will not have much respect for you.
Relationships are important to you, and you often go out of your way to initiate them. It is vital that your associations remain harmonious, because quarrels and disputes affect you adversely.

Saturn in the First House
Saturn is in the first house. Saturn's placement here gives you a conservative, sometimes gloomy and self-denying outlook on life. Because every contact is of great importance, you tend to be rather detached and even aloof so that you can be sure exactly where you stand. You can be self-conscious and may feel awkward and prudish with others who appear to take things more lightly. The depth with which you look at yourself is characteristic of the way you relate to others.
You were taught very early in life to be self-reliant, and you were often given more responsibility than usual for your age.
Your intellect is constant and usually unfettered by momentary feelings and whims. Logic plays an important role in your thinking processes. Grandiose schemes and theories have little interest for you.
Once you accept your own limitations and face up to your challenges and responsibilities with a sense of purpose, you will be able to succeed in whatever field you decide on. Your health is generally good, so long as you exercise sufficiently to relieve tension.

Sun in the Second House
The Sun was found in the second house at the time of your birth. This position makes financial matters - and the act of physical conquest and possession - the central motivation of your existence. It is virtually a necessity that you address yourself to gaining material security. The obligations of giving still exist for you as a real difficulty which you must learn to deal with.
You should enjoy your own wealth and also instruct yourself in the art of giving. You wish to be respected in financial matters and like to be regarded as a person who is self- sufficient.
There exists a great amount of faith in your abilities; you believe that no matter what happens, you will always endure financially. These influences of the Sun grant strong possibilities for success in life.
Your weaknesses in money include a tendency to be very demonstrative, a desire for money because of the power it wields. As you reach mature age, the doors of opportunity will open for you through persons highly placed in government. Don't miss the chance.
