the houses

253

Sun

  the ability to make and spend 

money will be very important in this 
case, as will a liking for sumptuous 
things. possessiveness will occur, 
and self-indulgence is likely.

Moon

  the Moon’s influence will work 

strongly from this house. a hankering 
for the good things of life will be 
matched with possessiveness, which 
could lead to regret. shrewdness in 
financial matters is common.

Mercury

  people with this combination 

will enjoy making money – and 
spending it quickly! Financial situations 
will therefore fluctuate, while the speed 
of Mercury thought will be slowed.

VenuS

  Venus is powerful in this, the 

taurus house. there will be taurean 
characteristics in the personality – 
modifying them by the Venus sign or 
enhancing them if also the sun sign. 
Very loving, but possessive.

MarS

  a passionate person who will 

want and get a lot of everything. 
there will be masses of strong 
feelings which need an outlet, and 
a keeness to make money. physically 
tough, especially the men.

Jupiter

  Will work well from this house, 

contributing bonhomie, a sense of fun 
and humour, and a need for good 
living and comfort. tendency to weight 
gain due to love of rich food and wine.

Saturn

  here there will be a tendency 

to work extremely hard for every 
penny earned, and as a consequence 

will have a sensible 
attitude to finance. 
somewhat restrained 
expressions of feelings 
are likely.

ur anuS

  an erratic attitude to money 

is common. a steady income may be 
elusive, and money will often be spent 
unwisely, possibly in unlikely get-rich 
schemes. Will express feelings 
dazzlingly and with flattery, but may 
not be totally sincere. Freedom loving.

neptune

  emotions, with perhaps a tad 

of possessiveness, will flow towards 
those whom these individuals admire. 
Very generous, hopeless with cash, 
and will over-spend and usually 
need help with finances. Will love 
beautiful objects.

pluto

  a control of finances and a flair 

for making money is very likely indeed. 
a similar attitude is often the case 
when expressing feelings – will hold 
back at first, then sweep admired 
ones off their feet.

chiron

  a free-wheeling attitude to 

finances and possessions is common 
here – won’t particularly care for 
either, but will soon recover losses. 
Will express feelings in a bright, 
slightly off-hand and maybe jokey 
way, but will be good company.

ur anuS

  Will contribute unpredictability, 

originality, independence, and often 
stubbornness. there can be a tendency 
to be unconventional and perverse, 
along with flashes of brilliance and 
original ideas. above average periods 
of stress and tension are likely.

neptune

  here, ascendant characteristics 

will be weakened, especially for Libra 
and scorpio. the planet adds kindness 
and tenderness, but self-deception and 
a tendency to take the easy route is 
common. possible foot problems.

pluto

  a dynamic force. 

sweeping changes will be made 
and psychologically needed too. 
the individual must learn not to 
bottle up problems. a seeker with 
detective instincts. can be obsessive 
– especially over self-analysis. 
possible genital problems.

chiron

  Will add energy, daring and 

panache to the characteristics of the 
ascendant, along with the ability to 
self-heal physical, emotional, and 
psychological wounds.

Money is a key theme of the 
Second House, and each 
planet gives its own distinct 
nuance to the theme.
