Things You Should Know
According to astrologer Kyle Thomas, the 2nd House in astrology relates to one's possessions, income, and finances. It also provides insight into how you use your talents to create abundance. On a more personal level, the 2nd House is tied to worth and value and can be associated with your self-worth, self-value, and how you experience that in the world.
In astrology, the 2nd house tells you how you manage your possessions. For example, how you manage material things will reflect how well you take care of your job, daily routine, or eating habits.

On the surface level, we think of the 2nd house in astrology as the house of worth and finances. And so a lot of people look at it as the money house, very literally. It's also the house where we form our sense of self-worth and our self-esteem. It's where we realize that we are more than just ourselves. We are part of a whole, and we ask ourselves, what is our role within the whole? Where do we rank in the human world? How do we feel about ourselves and where do we fit?
I also think, secondarily, it's a house where we decide what's most important to us, the house of values, the house of morals, and the house of how we define interest and attraction and pleasure. What do we spend our money on? What do we spend our time on? What are your core values that you tend to dedicate your life to? All of that's going to come out of the second house.
When it comes to the career houses, we usually think of 2, 6, and 10—2 being how you make your money, 6 being what the day-to-day job requires, and 10 being your career legacy and how you're perceived in the world. Those three houses tend to be more business and career associated, and we think of the 2nd house as the house of resources.

The second house governs wealth, personal finances, material possessions, and what you find valuable. This includes information on how your assets impact your sense of self and security. In astrology, the second house is tied to the zodiac sign Taurus and the planet Venus.
