Mars in Second House
© 2000 Curtis Manwaring [ << ] [ >> ]
Mars: If the lord of the 2nd is Mars, or Mars is in the 2nd house, of the sect, then you make profitable use of your resources and are schrewd enough to let go of losses early. There is a lack of attachment to resources, seeing them as only a means to an end. With reception, the native makes trades often and can be involved in sales as a way if livelihood. To the degree that your self esteem suffers, you may tend to collect swords or other exotic weapons. If out of sect, then due to Mars' excessively hot and dry nature, losses accumulate, as you will tend to put your resources through considerable wear and tear. In either case there is a tendency to put your money where your mouth is.
