What does it mean if Aquarius is in my 2nd house?
If you have Aquarius or Capricorn rising, then you may have an Aquarius 2nd House in your birth chart. In what ways could this placement play out in your life?
Let’s find out!
The Zodiac Sign of Aquarius
Aquarius is a sign that needs to define its own set of ideals and be completely true to itself and its values.
This sign of the Zodiac came ready to question social constructs and norms in life. Aquarius is a free thinker that can’t pretend to be something it isn’t or believe something it doesn’t.
It is original, clever, and headstrong.
Aquarius is capable of revolutionary ideas that may come off as genius. However, these new ideas could upset the status quo.
Some of Aquarius’ personality traits:
- Logical
- Independent
- Unique
- Self-sufficient
- Honest
But, in this article, we need to keep Aquarius in the context of the 2nd House.
The 2nd House in Astrology
Your personality and sense of self aren’t described in the 2nd House. It is thought of as the House of Money.
Thinking of it only as the House of Money is pretty oversimplified, though.
The 2nd House does, in fact, outline the parts of one’s life that deal with money and personal belongings, but how worthy a person feels is also reflected in this house.
Your sense of value as a person falls in this house.
Your 2nd House also offers indications about how you may connect your self-worth to the size of your bank account, the things you own, or how you spend your money.
Second House Meaning:
- Making money
- Financial security
- Self Esteem
- Possessions
- Spending habits
Aquarius 2nd House Meaning
Having an Aquarius 2nd House may prompt you to see finances as something you need to approach from your own unique perspective.
You might see money as something that is capable of buying you independence.
An Aquarius 2nd House may influence you to earn money in ways that involve something new and fresh.
It may have to do with the latest and greatest technology or a revolutionary new industry.
Also, with an Aquarius 2nd House placement, it may be important to you to earn money in ways that you find meaningful or that make the world a better place.
With Aquarius in the 2nd House, it may not matter to you in the slightest how others perceive your financial situation.
Aquarius lives within its own set of values and definition of success, not anyone else’s.
Second House Aquarius may liberate you to spend or invest how you see fit. You may not worry about taking risks with money and you may use your instincts to guide your decisions.
Another way that an Aquarius 2nd House could shine through is that you may feel the urge to condemn the entire economic system altogether.
Aquarius has incredibly high ideals and a desire for equality. In the 2nd House, this could inspire you to not want to partake in a system that you feel is unjust.
Aquarius 2nd House Strengths
- Intelligent: Aquarius is an air element sign and leads with its brilliant mind. In the 2nd House, this could make you quite capable in the financial department.
- Original: There is no other sign that values nonconformity more than Aquarius. An Aquarius 2nd House may bring with it the potential to be incredibly innovative and inventive. There may be no one else that sees a situation the way that you do when it comes to finance.
- Strong convictions: Aquarius’ natural state is to stick to its ideals no matter what the consequences. In the 2nd House, this may mean that you are very scrupulous when it comes to money and may never partake in something that seems shady. You also may be someone who researches the companies they purchase products from to make sure that they have ethical business practices, as well.
- Determined: Because of its fixed modality, Aquarius is persistent! With an Aquarius 2nd House, this strength may lend itself well to the health of your finances. If you have a setback with money, it may not be long until you are back at it.
- Independent: Being able to stand on its own is important to Aquarius. In your 2nd House, this may mean that you have the desire to take care of yourself financially and not need the help of someone else.
Aquarius 2nd House Weaknesses
- Noncommittal with money: With an Aquarius 2nd House, you may want to be free to do what you please with your money, meaning that you may have the potential to not stick with one financial plan.
- Stubborn with money: As a fixed sign, Aquarius has a stubborn streak. In your 2nd House, Aquarius could come out as being bull-headed about how you invest or spend money. There is a potential that once you have started down one path financially, it could be hard to change course even when it seems you should.
- Shuns old ideas: New and innovative is great, but with an Aquarius 2nd House, you may be tempted to shun some financial approaches or ways to build wealth simply because they are old. However, ideas that are old can also mean that they are time-tested and worthy of consideration.
- Makes themselves dependent: If Aquarius in the 2nd House inspires a sense that the corrupt economic system should be avoided, this could lead to extreme minimalism and an aversion to money altogether. This could lead to becoming dependent on friends or family, not something Aquarius would be comfortable with.
- Goes through the motions: One other challenge that could come with an Aquarius 2nd House is ignoring the inner voice that tells you to be true to yourself in how you earn and spend money. It may feel easier or less scary to do things the way “everyone else does,” but for Aquarius, not living out personal ideals can feel soul-crushing.
What else could influence an Aquarius 2nd House?
So many more details can be added to how you read your Aquarius 2nd House, including the placement of Aquarius’ planetary rulers and other planets in this house.
Aquarius’ Planetary Rulers: Uranus and Saturn
Uranus is the modern ruler of Aquarius.
With an Aquarius 2nd House, the sign and position of Uranus are going to add flavor to how Aquarius is expressed.
Locate Uranus in your natal chart and notice what sign it is sitting in. The qualities of this sign will also be reflected in how you experience your 2nd House.
For instance, if Uranus is in Capricorn, this may temper some of the imaginative and impulsive tendencies and could make you take your finances a little more seriously. You also may have more of a potential to feel bad about yourself as a person if your paycheck isn’t as big as you think it should be.
Uranus in Sagittarius? This may increase your desire for personal freedom. You may dislike being held down in one place and look for ways that let you earn money while traveling. It could also heighten your idealistic feelings toward your finances and belongings.
The same is true for Aquarius’ traditional ruler, Saturn. Wherever Saturn sits in your birth chart will add more dimension to your 2nd House reading.
Planets in the 2nd House
Planets that reside in your 2nd house will also add more complexity to the way in which you experience your Aquarius 2nd House.
If you find Venus in the 2nd House, for instance, your desire for independence may be lessened and you may find that combining finances with your partner may be easier for you. There is also a chance that you could be a little more drawn to luxury or comfort items.
Mars in your 2nd House? You may be more of an ambitious earner. This may minimize your idealistic ideas when it comes to economics and you may be a little more interested in building personal wealth. However, it could add to your innovative energies by prompting you to want to be the first to try something new.
This article touches on very general ways that Aquarius can be expressed in your 2nd House, so please remember that there is so much more to interpreting your birth chart than these simplified descriptions.
But, Aquarius in the 2nd House of your chart will in some way influence your earning and spending habits, your relationship to your belongings, and in what ways you do or don’t connect your self-esteem to the material things you have in this world.
