Mercury in the 2nd house
Mercury in the 2nd house thinks in practical terms and earns through its mind. Good with numbers and better with words, you turn ideas into income and know the value of what you know.
You can tell within a minute whether a deal is a good one, and you have usually done the sums before anyone else has opened the spreadsheet.
You were born with Mercury, your mind and voice, in your second house: the house of money, possessions and values. Your thinking is grounded. You want ideas that work, and you like to be paid for them.
Earning by thinking
Writing, selling, teaching, negotiating, advising: your mind is your income, and you know it. More than one source of income suits you, and you spot quickly where a skill could be worth something.
Sure-footed opinions
You think slowly and steadily, and once you have decided, you rarely change your mind. Your opinions have weight because you have checked them. You speak plainly and you dislike waste, of words or of money.
Counting
The risk is valuing only what you can measure. A worry about money takes over your thinking, and you talk yourself out of anything that does not pay.
Spend an hour each week learning something with no use at all.
Good advice
Friends ask you before they buy anything big, and the ones who took your advice are still glad they did.
