Second House (Encore)

I recently made a youtube vid talking about the second house, and it got so many comments, that I kept wondering--"Did I leave people with more questions than answers!?" In an attempt to bridge this gap, I'm writing this as a follow-up to that video.

If you haven't seen that video, you can watch it here:

This is the natal chart's lil' piggy bank--or big piggy bank if you have a solid Jupiter in there. (I also like Pluto there. No matter what anyone says. Those people have a HOLD of their money.)

Anyway, here are some key phrases for each of the signs that you can have on the cusp of your second house--and then house placements for the ruler of that second house sign. (The "lord of your second house" is the planet that rules the sign on its cusp.)

I'll give you an example for my second house Aquarius, ruled by Saturn in my first house.

"Money is how I can help my fellow man, and I earn it through my own self assertion."
