Jupiter in the Second House

Jupiter in the second puts expansion and protection on wealth, family, speech and what you consume.

What's actually going on

Jupiter expands, protects and insists on meaning wherever it goes. Put it in the second house and that lands on savings, food, the voice, inherited values and the family you came from.

So this becomes the part of life you keep going back to, looking for a philosophy, a teacher and room to grow. It is also the part you find hardest to leave alone.

What it gives you

• Growth, good counsel, generosity and timely luck, aimed straight at wealth, family, speech and what you consume
• Resources that accumulate and a voice people trust

What it costs you

• Excess, complacency and preaching instead of doing
• Here that usually shows up as holding on too tightly, or spending without noticing

Work and money

Money is made through voice, stored value and family resource. With Jupiter here, growth is what you bring to it.

Love and marriage

Family opinion carries real weight in your relationships.

What actually helps

Teach something. Jupiter pays out when knowledge is given away rather than sold. Thursdays, and any real act of mentorship.

About the second house

The second house, the house of money and family, governs savings, food, the voice, inherited values and the family you came from. It also covers what you eat, the family you were born into, and whether money actually stays once it arrives.
