What does it mean if Scorpio is in my 2nd House?

The Zodiac Sign of Scorpio

Scorpio is driven by the need to feel the entire spectrum of human emotion.

It has a strong desire to uncover hidden truth, even if it is ugly, and pull it out into the light so that healing can begin. This is intense and heavy emotional work.

This Zodiac sign is determined and once its mind is set on something, it will be hard for them to turn back!

Some of Scorpio’s personality traits:

  • Deep emotions
  • Raw and real
  • Intuitive

  • Determined

But, for the purpose of this article, we need to remember to keep Scorpio in the context of the 2nd House, however.

The 2nd House in Astrology

The 2nd House does not describe the way in which you would describe yourself or how others may see you. The 2nd House is traditionally named the House of Money.

Yes, it influences the thing in your life that have to do with your money and belongings, but there is much more to it.

The 2nd House also points to the way your money matters and material possessions make you feel as a person and your self-worth.

Second House Meaning:

  • Making money
  • Financial security
  • Self Esteem
  • Possessions
  • Spending habits

Scorpio 2nd House Meaning

With Scorpio in your 2nd House, your relationship with your finances and possessions may be such that that part of your sense of safety and security in life may be connected to how well you think you earn money or secure resources.

A Scorpio 2nd House may prompt you to have your feelings mixed up with your financial situation in a more intense way than other signs might influence.

More specifically, a Scorpio 2nd House placement may lead you to see money as power.

Scorpio may not be as interested in what money can buy as far as luxury. What Scorpio is more interested in sitting in the 2nd House is how money can buy safety and security from the bad things that life can bring.

With a Scorpio 2nd House, you may be very inventive and resourceful when it comes to making money or with your possessions.

You may come to an investment that other people would dismiss as a lost cause financially and transform it into something great. Or, you may see an old, nasty-looking armoire that someone threw out on the curb, take it home, and restore and revive it into something amazing.

Scorpio also has convictions.

With a Scorpio 2nd House placement, you may have the desire to use your money and resources to make a positive difference to others.

Providing for your own safety may build your confidence, and the same could be true for using your finances to help others feel safe, as well.

The financial forecast for Scorpio in the 2nd House may be one of extremes.

Scorpio is a sign that doesn’t dabble in the art of subtlety, and in the 2nd House, this may look like experiencing times when resources are very plentiful and times when they are nearly non-existent.

  2. Greed: Insecurity can be ugly and Scorpio in the 2nd House could bring with it a fear that there will never be enough.

Financial changes that could be beneficial may be avoided altogether out of fear of making a mistake and threatening their safety and security.
  5. Jealousy: Deep feelings come naturally for Scorpio and it uses them to help maneuver through the world. With a Scorpio 2nd House, because there may be emotions tied to resources, there is a chance that feelings of jealousy could arise around earnings or possessions.
