The second house is said
to be a highly powerful intellectual house. If two or three creative planets
like the Sun, Mercury, Venus, Ketu, Jupiter, Moon or simply Jupiter and Venus
are placed in the second house and in Gemini or Aquarius in a natal chart, it
confers great genius and the native shines as a great poet, novelist,
dramatist, or study writer as in the cases of Rabindra Nath Tagore, Bankim
Chandra Chatterjee, Sarat Chandra Chatterjee, etc.
The voice or speech which
is ruled by the second house is said to be the seat of all sorts of creative or
spiritual activities. God spoke and thus created this world. Jesus Christ saved
life of many dead persons simply by a loud voice like saying `Arise’ or `Awake’.
Gregory Rusputin, a Russian saint used to heal his patients by loud prayers.
Magicians perform great magical feats simply by the power of their speech or
loud voice. They usually keep the audience spell-bound simply by the power of
their speech. A good debater can easily rise to the top. Great politicians rise
to the great political heights simply by their great oratorical powers.
The Bhagvad Gita was
composed by the spoken words of Lord Krishna to the third Pandava Arjun in the
Kurukshetra battle-field. Shri Ramakrishna simply spoke to Mahendra Gupta and
thus created the great immortal classic? `Shri Shri Ramakrishna Katha-Mrita’
which illuminated millions of people all over the world. Thus voice or speech
is the seat of all sorts of creative or spiritual activities. As the second
house rules over the voice or speech, so it is a highly intellectual house.
Taurus is the second sign
of the Zodiac and its ruler is Venus. The Moon gets exalted here. So Venus and
the Moon are creative planets. The 5th sign of the Zodiac is Leo and
its ruler is the Sun and is a highly powerful creative and intellectual house.
Singly Mercury is not so powerful but jointly with the Sun it absorbs all the
good qualities of the Sun and this conjunction is called `Budhaditya Yoga’
which is a very powerful intellectual Yoga. Venus adds beauty and colour to
this highly intellectual conjunction. So the conjunction of the creative
planets in 2nd or 5th and in a airy sign like Gemini or
Aquarius makes one a creative man of genius like Victor Hugo, Alexander Duma,
Lord Byron, Goethe, Rupert Brooke, John Keats, Perl S. Buck, Fydor Dostoyvesky,
Maxim Gorky etc.
The second house also
represents money, self-acquisitions and liquid funds. It provides the resources
to earn money; it reveals the methods to be applied to earn money. Planets
posited in the second house indicate the nature of labour and hardships to be
employed to earn money. Mars or Saturn if posited in the second house entail
hard labour and hard struggle in early life to earn money. By its reflect
action to the 8th house, it deprives one to own or inherit any
ancestral properties. The native will be a self-made man and he will have to
proceed alone. He will not have any outside help. Conjunction of Saturn and
Mars or Mars and Rahu or Ketu and Saturn in the 2nd house gives hard
labour and hard struggle in early life but it gives success and prosperity in
later life.
Jupiter or Venus or the
Moon in the second house gives very early money or quick money. By its reflex
action to the 8th house, it gives enough of ancestral properties,
liquid funds through inheritance. The native becomes a rich man just after
birth.
Rahu is the Lord of the
Asuras. His wants are unlimited. He does not remain satisfied with petty things
of life. He conducts all sorts of underhand and secret business. He gives
enough of secret money like bribes, black money, speculation profit, and profit
from gambling.
The Sun in the second
gives enough of ancestral properties through inheritance. But it demands hard
labour and hard struggle in early life but it gives success in later life. The
native gets a high Government post or he occupies a top position in life.
Let me illustrate this
with some example horoscopes as under:-
1. Rabindra Nath Tagore – a great literary
giant. Date of birth – 7.5.1881 at 3 a.m., Birth-Chart – Pisces – ascendant,
the Moon; Aries – the Sun, Mercury and Venus (2nd); Gemini – Mars and
Ketu; Cancer-Jupiter; Leo-Saturn; Sagittarius – Rahu.
2.
Boris Pasternaik – a great Russian novelist. Date of birth
10.2.1890 at 2.30 a.m. Birth-chart; Sagittarius – ascendant, Ketu; Capricorn –
the Sun, Mercury, Venus and Jupiter (2nd); Gemini – Rahu;
Leo-Saturn; Libra-the Moon and Mars.
From the above, you have
thus found that the second house is a very strong and powerful intellectual
house. Conjunction of the Sun, Mercury and Venus; Ketu, Mercury and the Sun;
Ketu, Jupiter and Venus; Ketu, the Moon and Venus in the 2nd or 6th
and in an airy sign makes one a great literary giant.
