How to Interpret Your Own Second House

Summary of the Steps: It’s Easy!
In order to help you understand the nature of your personal Finance and Speech karma, we are going to walk through a few steps. First we are going to help you find out what Sign is your 2nd House and how sign that affects your wealth and speech. Then, we will get more specific in accessing your 2nd House by examining the planets placed in that house, and also where the “ruler” of your Second House is placed. This will all be very easy to do. Finally, we will test your knowledge with a Quiz using Oprah Winfrey’s chart.

Step1:
First, you need to know what your 2nd House sign is. To do this:

1. Log into Astroved
2. Run the “Chart Report”
3. On the chart, it will indicate your 2nd House with the number 2 in the box. The blue letters in the same box indicate the Sign. For your reference the abbreviated sign names are listed below.

Seldom do we celebrate Mother Earth these days, even honoring and respecting our own physical mother is becoming alien to us. If there is one day when we can pray to our Mother Earth and mother for continued nourishment, support and discrimination, it is the Mother’s day.

Mother Earth holds us so dearly to her heart and nourishes us through our lives. She is not only life sustaining but also infinitely patient towards human beings who are yet to realize her magnanimity. Just like our physical Moms, she takes care of all our needs but only takes abuses in terms of pollutants, indiscriminate dumping and holds environmentally hazardous materials.

Astroved has arranged for prayers to Mother Earth in the form of Goddess Lakshmi as Bhu-Devi (the Earth Mother). This will ensure blessings for you and your mother with material sucess throughout the year.

Of all the Full Moon days, there is one Full Moon which is considered to be very holy for altering your karmic balance. This is the Chitra Full Moon on May 8. All the good and bad deeds that we engage in are stored as transactions in the akashic records, which is your divine personal log. Chitra Gupta is the celestial being who is the accountant incharge of presenting these records to Lord Yama, the God of death. So by appeasing Chitra Gupta, your final day of judgment will be less severe. Astroved has arranged for special poojas for Chitra Gupta on May 8 in the ancient temple town of Kanchipuram.

This is also a day dear to Lord Satyanarayana, the custodian of truth and prosperity. It is very auspicious to perform the Satyanarayana pooja on the Chitra Full Moon day. Lord Satyanarayana is an extremely benevolent form of Lord Vishnu: Satya, means Truth or Dharma, and Narayana as another name for Vishnu. During this pooja people worship Lord Satyanarayana by reciting his story. This story was originally narrated by Lord Vishnu himself to the sage Narada for the benefit of human-kind.

If you have a slim figure, do you attribute that to genealogy or astrology?

New Age medical scientists talk about effect of diet and genetic behavior on this often debated topic. But there is no one consensus and solution to this ever expanding problem! While the medical doctors tackle obesity and Health from a bodily perspective, Siddhas have an alternate holistic view to this entire subject. According to them, we are divine beings with a gross physical, astral and causal bodies. Just like the physical body, the Spiritual body comprising of astral and causal bodies also have what are known as Nadis or nerve channels. And your well being depends on the Health of your invisible auric nerves as you may call it.

The purpose of our human life is God realization. This is an often repeated statement. But Siddhas tell you that you can get to your life purpose only when your Karma has been wiped clean and the time is ripe for grace to flow to you. When that happens an intense flowering happens and both the material and Spiritual worlds open up for you. You have a choice then on the abundance that you are presented with.

Do you feel depressed everytime you get back home? Do you feel that your talent and your income doesn’t match up? Do you feel miserable in your Relationships? Are your children out of your control?

The answers to above questions could be simple and complex. But the Siddhas suggest simple remedies to ensure that your dwelling place or office gets blessed. This blessing acts as a protection for all activities that happen in the house or office and provides optimal results. If your Karma is very good then you will always land up with the best deals, get best partners and enjoy your life. But most of our lives only have other side of the story to narrate.

If there is one act that could relieve you and change your destiny, it is the ancestor ritual called as tarpan. Our departed ancestors are stored as sub-conscious patterns in our solar plexus area. They have the ability to bless us with positive vibrations flowing through us. When we indulge in wicked acts these good vibrations are not available to us and are effectively screened out by the smoke created by our acts. When you act virtuously and practice charity and devotion to God or the higher Light in all things, then you will have access to positive vibrations. These vibrations have the capacity to completely change who you are and bring incredible blessings into your love life, job, health and other important areas of your life.

The problem is that the “not so good” stuff that you have done in the past will not allow you to reap the benefits of being good in this current life. You have to do some cleansing rituals to counteract the negative karma and enable the blessings of your departed ancestors to reach you. This divine technology is called tarpan.

What is the 2nd House?
In Astrology, we will be speaking in terms of “Houses” and “Signs”. There are 12 Houses in astrology, just as there are 12 signs. Houses are simply categories of all the things that concern us in human life such as money, children, sex, health, longevity, etc. Each House controls a different category. In the House 1 Makeover, we covered personality and physical appearance. Now, House 2 covers primarily finances and speech and things that go into the mouth.

Signs on the other hand are filters that color how the Houses and planets behave. This newsletter will cover the sign of Taurus, which is considered the natural 2nd House of the Zodiac. That means that the sign of Taurus naturally colors things in line with the qualities of the 2nd House, i.e. money, things money can buy and what goes into the mouth.Let us begin by covering the natural 2nd House in Astrology, i.e. Taurus, and also what areas the 2nd House controls. Ones own personal 2nd House is the subject of the next newsletter.

The 2nd House
The Second House is known as the “House of the Earnings”. It signifies your capacity to earn a living and accumulate wealth. It also reveals some of your early or childhood experiences with your family. The 2nd house also rules the mouth and teeth, thus having some dominion over your appearance and conversational skills. Additionally the 2nd house can indicate alcohol, drug and food addictions. It also rules your imagination.
