The 2nd house
The 5th Anniversary 2nd House
Here we have a Sagittarius house, occupied by Venus and Pluto. In common astrological parlance, it is referred to as the house of possessions, one’s financial standing, one’s sense of self worth and the things that one values. In a strictly mundane account the second house is the field of money markets, banks, financial institutions, and the national wealth. But remember what I said when I began these notes…that I would be looking at this chart as that of a spiritual event. In those terms, none of the above quite qualifies. However, appropriate adaptations of them may certainly be applied.
For instance, in regard to the concepts of “possessions” and “things that one values,” there are clear spiritual correspondences. In this field of experience (i.e. house), what is it that we possess? Clearly, in a spiritual sense, it is nothing material. However, I do possess a sense of “Self.” I and I alone am me, myself and I. I “have” me, but what does that “me” have? The key idea that comes most readily to mind is that of my “soul.” It is my one true spiritual possession. As such, it is that personal asset which I value most. If it were not such a valuable commodity, what price wouldn’t the Devil pay for it? 😉
