The 2nd house rules your material world and your sense of self-worth — what you own, what you earn, and what you truly value. It shows your relationship with money and security, and how you build a stable foundation.
Key themes
Planets in the 2nd house

An empty 2nd house
An empty 2nd house doesn't mean financial struggle — money simply isn't a defining life theme written into your chart. The sign on the cusp and its ruler describe your natural money style.
