The next 30° of sky that become visible over the eastern horizon from 2-4 hours after birth (or from the moment a chart is drawn up) is called the Second House. Called “Lucrum” or “Riches” in Latin, this house is all about your possessions. This house covers the valuable things you own, the ideas or concepts you value, and the things you value in yourself. Any planet that may occupy this house exerts its influence on your things of value and concept of self worth. If there are no planets in this house, it may indicate that you don’t spend a lot of conscious energy in this part of your life, that things in this sector flow without needing extra effort, or that you aren’t working on major life lessons in this area during your current lifetime.
