Pluto in the 2nd house
Pluto in the 2nd house brings intensity to money and values. Your finances have risen and fallen dramatically, you have strong instincts for resources, and your values are hard-won.
You have lost everything once, or nearly, and built it back with your own hands.
Your second house is the house of money, possessions and values, and your Pluto, the planet of power and transformation, was in it when you were born. What you own, and what you value, have been tested to their foundations.
Instinct for resources
You understand money at a deep level: where it hides, how it grows, what people will do for it. Research, rebuilding businesses and finding hidden value suit you.
Money, for you, is tied to power and to safety, and you watch both closely. You know what you have to the dollar, and you keep a reserve nobody knows about. Over a lifetime your resources grow because you understand them better than most.
Values that cost something
Your values are not borrowed; you fought for them. What you hold dear, you hold fiercely.
Possession
The risk is clinging to money or things as if your safety depended on them, or letting money become a struggle for control.
Give away something you are holding on to out of fear.
Built back
Whatever you have now, you rebuilt after losing it, and the people who know you know exactly what that took.
From a real analysis
In her chart: Pluto in Scorpio, in the 2nd house · 15°24′ Scorpio, retrograde
Pluto, the planet of depth and rebuilding, sits in Scorpio, the sign of intensity and things kept below the surface, in the part of your life about what you own and value. You hold on hard to what matters, and when something has to go, you let it go completely and start again from the ground. Your depth and your dreams help each other, so a loss turns into a new plan rather than a long sulk. And that depth backs your reputation: people trust you with serious things because they sense you do not flinch (flowing, close at 1.9°).

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 Pluto in different houses.
