When it comes to astrology the houses are very important. The more you know about them, the more you understand yourself which is necessary for moving forth.

There are 12 houses and well, each one breaks down different things. However, in this article, we’re going to go over the second house specifically. While the other houses are important as well, this house is one that can offer a lot of abundance depending on how you read through it.

Astrology.com wrote as follows on the second house explaining it a bit more:

The Second House is commonly referred to as the House of Possessions. While this speaks to that which we own, it’s not limited simply to tangible things. We own our feelings and emotions, as well as our inner selves, abilities, needs, and wants. When we own up to something, we are in fact claiming ownership of our greatest possession, our self.

Using our possessions, including material goods, to maximum advantage is also within the realm of the Second House. Our possessions should enhance our lives and those of others, and foster a general sense of well-being. This brings forth the concept of value, which is key to the Second House. What do we value, both tangibly and intangibly? Why do we value it? Who do we value? What do we really own? What do we want to own? Why? Our effective resolution of these questions is a large part of what the Second House is all about.

Specific possessions covered by the Second House include earned income and our ability to influence it, investments, and moveable property (cars, clothing, jewelry, and the like). Debt is also part of the equation here since we own the responsibility to pay our bills. How we view money, the acquisition of wealth (and debt), financial reversals, savings, budgeting, and financial status are all ruled by the Second House.
