Mars in the 2nd house
Mars in the 2nd house puts its drive into earning and keeping. Hard-working and determined to stand on your own feet, you fight for your security and spend as boldly as you earn.
You have had a job of some kind since you were old enough to be paid for one, and you liked having your own money from the start.
Mars, your drive and courage, stood in your second house when you were born: the house of money, possessions and values. Your drive goes into building something you can call yours.
Earning by effort
You work hard for your money and you are proud of it. Physical work, sales, starting a business, anything that rewards effort with income suits you. You can earn quickly when you set your mind to it.
Bold with money
You spend decisively, sometimes impulsively: the thing you want, now, paid for with money you earned. You defend what is yours, your belongings, your values, your right to decide, with real force. A friend who borrows your car returns it with a full tank, because they know you would notice.
Spent in a hurry
The risk is money that comes fast and goes faster, and arguments about money that become about something bigger.
Wait a week before any purchase that would cost you a month’s savings.
Self-made
Whatever you have, you built, and the people who know you best know exactly how hard you worked for it.
Were you born with Mars in the 2nd house?
The houses are drawn from the horizon at the minute and the place you were born, and the whole wheel of them turns once a day, so the house a planet stands in depends on your birth time. Two people born on the same day can have Mars in different houses.
Your chart, below, places Mars in its house and every other planet in theirs.
