What the 2nd House Rules
The 2nd house — the House of Value — describes money, possessions, values and self-worth. It shows how you earn, spend and what makes you feel secure.
Planets in this house bring their energy to these themes; the sign on the cusp shows your general approach. An empty house isn't a problem — see empty houses.
