Second House

The House of Value

Rules: money, possessions, and self-worth Natural sign: Taurus Ruling planet: Venus Type: Succedent

The second house is what you have and what you are worth. It rules your money and belongings, and the quieter question underneath them: what you truly value, and how securely you value yourself.

What the second house rules

Income, possessions and material security, along with your self-esteem and your relationship with comfort. It asks what feels like enough.

Planets in the second house

Planets here shape how you earn, spend and hold on to things, and how closely your sense of worth is tied to what you own.

Naturally ruled by Taurus. Each house has a sign that feels most at home in it. The 2nd house belongs to Taurus and its ruler Venus, which is why this house carries a Taurus flavour even before you add your own planets.
