The eleventh house in astrology is a place of major change. It comes after the practical, goal-oriented tenth house, and finds new ways to go into the future. The eleventh house comes before the twelfth house, prepping us for the end. 11th House Astrology & Your Natal Chart
Astrology charts have 12 houses, and each link to different parts of life. Your natal chart is a snapshot of the locations of the planets, other bodies, and houses in the Zodiac at the moment you're born and from the location you're born at. Each of your natal houses connects to different parts of your life and personality.
The eleventh house is ruled by Uranus, unconventional and iconic. Uranus helps the eleventh house color outside the lines and push outside of comfort zones. At-a-Glance 11th House Keywords:

If things get too boring, we can go a little wonky with the eleventh house. The eleventh house wants sudden and unexpected, and can thrive under this. 11th House in Astrology: Individuality
The eleventh house rules individuality and nonconformity. We're all unique individuals, no one else is just like us, and this house embraces that. The eleventh house is where we're true to ourselves and embrace what makes is different
How well you embrace your differences, how much you embrace individuality, and whether you're comfortable with it or not can be found with this house. 11th House in Astrology: The Unconventional
The eleventh house rules the unconventional. Its previous house, the tenth house, is traditional and the way things have always been. The eleventh house wants to gut that and push outside of comfort zones to find more room for growth.
The eleventh house wants to explore what's different, what's way out there, to find even more for our lives. How comfortable you are with this and how much you need to go against the grain and with what can be found here. 11th House in Astrology: Friends and Groups
The eleventh house rules your friends, and the kind of people you attract as friends, the nature of your friendships, and your approach to friendships can be found here.

Your approach to causes, the causes you pick up, and how you manage them can be found with this house. This is where you care about the most people as a whole and want to have a larger impact, whereas the twelfth house is where you want to help one person at a time. Where Your Eleventh House Energy is Found
For everyone, look to the Zodiac sign your eleventh house falls in. The areas of life ruled by that sign are where you can change, be unconventional, and dream. Also look to the natural planetary ruler of your eleventh house (the natural planetary ruler of the Zodiac sign your eleventh house falls in) as this can also connect to the eleventh house energy.
If you have any natal planets in your eleventh house, this can make the eleventh house energy a lot stronger for you. That planet has a strong impact on your dreams, your individuality, and your friends. Transit (moving) planets touring your eleventh house can bring some temporary energy for eleventh house matters. This can impact your ability to have hope, pursue your dreams, and be true to yourself. Transit Saturn may be the most difficult since it's such different energy and restrictive, and you may have lessons to learn around being who you are and embracing what's different. Transit planets aspecting your natal eleventh house ruler can stimulate eleventh house energy as well, and conjunctions, squares, and oppositions by transit Saturn, Uranus, Pluto, or Chiron can be especially challenging and impact your future and individuality. You may feel stifled, want to give up on your dreams, and have difficulties with friends.

Some may have a super strong natal second house. This can be the case for you if you have:
- a stellium (3+ planets) in the 11th house - your Sun, Moon, or Chiron in the 11th house - your North or South Node in your 11th house - your 1st house ruler in the 11th house - your 11th house cusp or ruler anaretic (at 29 degrees) - retrograde Mercury, Venus, or Mars in the 11th house or ruling the 11th house When you have a strong 11th house, this can mean your future is super important to you, and you can have big dreams and be hopeful about what you're capable of building. You can also embrace change, and likely need quite a bit of it in your life or you get bored quickly. You're a true individual, and you need to celebrate what makes you so unique. Boxing yourself in only hurts you severely. But friends are also important for you, so you're someone who needs to both be true to yourself, and also finds your place where you can be true to yourself, with others who celebrate your true self.

The tenth house in astrology is where we're striving. It comes after the big-thinking ninth house, where we explore what's possible, and tries to ground this energy by being practical and making plans for those big ideas. This prepares for the eleventh house, where we focus on the future and make changes. 10th House Astrology & Your Natal Chart
Astrology charts have 12 houses, and each link to different parts of life. Your natal chart is a snapshot of the locations of the planets, other bodies, and houses in the Zodiac at the moment you're born and from the location you're born at. Each of your natal houses connects to different parts of your life and personality.
The 10th house is ruled by Saturn, the disciplinarian. The 10th house gets that disciplined, productive, practical energy, and it's where we have to do things the right way and for the right reasons, Saturn-style. Since it's connected to Saturn, it can also show where we bloom late. At-a-Glance 10th House Keywords:
10th House in Astrology: Career and Goals
The tenth house in astrology is best known as the house of career and goals. This is one of the professional houses (along with the second house = money and sixth house = work), and the tenth house often directly ties into the career you have and goals you pursue.
This is where we strive to achieve and succeed. It's where we make progress, get recognition, hit our stride, and hit new heights. The tenth house often ties to the Midheaven (or Zenith), which is the highest point in any chart. 10th House in Astrology: Life Path and Direction
The tenth house also rules your life path and direction. This makes sense since it rules your goals, so this ties into the path you take for success, and the direction you go in to achieve what you set out to do.
This path can be long sometimes, and windy sometimes, and it's one that goes on for all of our lives. This house can tie into later parts of our life as a result. 10th House in Astrology: Disciplined
The tenth house connects to discipline since it's governed by Saturn. This is where we need to buckle down, get focused, and stick to our plans. We can put plans together that are thorough and detailed, and we can be smart with our actions.
Our approach must be disciplined, in the way of Saturn, otherwise we may not make it. This is an area of hard work, smart work, but putting in the work for the long haul. 10th House in Astrology: Authority
The tenth house rules authority figures, and connects with leadership (along with the first house). The tenth house is our bosses, CEOs, judges, and the like. This can represent our bosses, but it can also show us as the boss.
How comfortable you are with being the boss and your approach to taking the lead can be found with the 10th house. Are you strict? Quiet? Charming? Comedic? 10th House in Astrology: Maturity
The tenth house connects to maturity, and it's a house where we can take things seriously. The tenth house is the season to be practical, focused, and take a mature approach. Being governed by Saturn, the tenth house doesn't like it when we're childish or reckless. We need to be mature, and we need to grow up.
10th House in Astrology: Ethical
The tenth house connects to ethics, and it's a house where we have to do things the right way and for the right reasons (thanks to Saturn). We often don't experience the tenth house success that is possible if we don't behave ethically.
Challenging transits to the 10th house can also show failure, being exposed as a fraud, or humiliation, as a result of not following the rules. The tenth house knows the rules are there for a reason. 10th House in Astrology: Responsibilities
The tenth house rules responsibilities, and can show how much responsibility you take on, and how well you manage responsibility. With a loaded tenth house, you may be someone others naturally look to be the responsible one, and this can tie into your authority energy.
A challenged tenth house can show you struggle with responsibility, are easily overwhelmed, or have been burned too much by it. You may need to work on boundaries and give yourself more grace. Where Your Tenth House Energy is Found
For everyone, look to the Zodiac sign your tenth house falls in. The areas of life ruled by that sign tie into your goals and direction. Also look to the natural planetary ruler of your tenth house (the natural planetary ruler of the Zodiac sign your tenth house falls in) as this can also connect to the 10th house energy.
If you have any natal planets in your tenth house, this can make the tenth house energy a lot stronger for you. That planet has a strong impact on your goals, your life path, and your responsibilities. Transit (moving) planets touring your tenth house can bring some temporary energy for tenth house matters. This often directly impacts your goals, your ability to succeed or how, and making progress or taking responsibility. Transit Jupiter or Saturn in the 10th house are often the greatest periods in your life for success (you'll experience Saturn once or twice in your adult life, and Jupiter 3-4 times). Transit planets aspecting your natal 10th house ruler can stimulate tenth house energy as well, and squares and oppositions by transit Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto, or Chiron can be especially challenging and impact your progress. You may experience blocks, uncertainty, opr outright failure. There is likely something to be learned from this.

Some may have a super strong natal tenth house. This can be the case for you if you have:
- a stellium (3+ planets) in the 10th house - your Sun, Moon, or Chiron in the 10th house - your North or South Node in your 10th house - your 1st house ruler in the 10th house - your 10th house cusp or ruler anaretic (at 29 degrees) - retrograde Mercury, Venus, or Mars in the 10th house or ruling the 10th house When you have a strong 10th house, this can mean your goals are super important for you. You likely constantly strive for something and have a strong desire and motivation to achieve and succeed in life. You want to create something, build something, reach high places and become an impressive person. This may come with extra responsibilities though, and you likely have to learn how to manage them. You also likely have to learn how to go easy on yourself, especially when you experience failure that is largely out of your control. You can succeed 100% of the time, and you don't need to beat yourself up over that. Once you learn that, it can open up more pathways for you.

The seventh house in astrology is where we connect with others. It's the people in our lives, the partnerships we make, and we go from all about work with the sixth house to forming connections with the seventh house, which then deepens with the eighth house. 7th House Astrology & Your Natal Chart
Astrology charts have 12 houses, and each link to different parts of life. Your natal chart is a snapshot of the locations of the planets, other bodies, and houses in the Zodiac at the moment you're born and from the location you're born at. Each of your natal houses connects to different parts of your life and personality.
The 7th house is ruled by Venus, the planet of love and relationships. Venus and the 7th house are generally where you focus first and foremost with relationship astrology. At-a-Glance 7th House Keywords:
7th House in Astrology: Committed Relationships and Partnerships
The seventh house in astrology is best known for being the house of committed relationships and partnerships. These are the relationships we take seriously, and the people we're close to. This can include marriage and similar types of commitment, as well as business partnerships where you're more or less equals (ones where you're not fall under the eighth house).
This house (along with Venus) can show who you attract into your life, what you want and need in committed relationships, and what you give in a committed relationship. 7th House in Astrology: Other People
The seventh house, generally, rules the other people in your life. This means all of them! Whenever you're having dealings with others, this is a seventh house matter (combined with whatever else rules the dealing specifically). Each house rules a specific relationship, but the seventh house is all of them in general.
The seventh house shows those you're committed to, but also people who may come in and out of your life. 7th House in Astrology: Compromise
The seventh house governs compromise, and is the house where you want to meet in the middle. It's the house ruling negotiation and mediation. This is where you want to find middle ground and are willing to compromise.
The sign of your seventh house can show how you approach compromise and how well you negotiate. 7th House in Astrology: Balance
The seventh house is on an axis with the first house, and they cut right through the very middle of the Zodiac wheel and any astrology chart. This is the axis of connections, but because of its placement, it's also focused on balance, and that's mostly funneled to the seventh house.
The seventh house can show what you need in order to feel balanced, your approach to balance, and what balance looks like for you. 7th House in Astrology: Fairness and Justice
The seventh house rules fairness and justice, so it does tie into the law (which is ruled by the ninth house). This is where we need to fight fair, and fight for justice, and where justice is more true to its ideal rather than seeking revenge or punishment (which is more eighth house).
The seventh house can show where you feel more fairness and justice is needed and how you approach this. 7th House in Astrology: Equality
The seventh house in astrology also rules equality. This is not where our connections are unequal (which can be the sixth, eighth, or twelfth houses), and instead, are the connections where we're on equal ground.
The seventh house can show where you strive for equality, how you approach it, and what it looks like for you. 7th House in Astrology: Peace and Harmony
The seventh house governs peace and harmony, and this is the house where we're anti-war and don't want to fight. That's partly why we compromise and strive for fairness with this house, since that can lead to peace and harmony.
The seventh house can show where you need peace and harmony, what you can do to get it, and how you can maintain it. Where Your Seventh House Energy is Found
For everyone, look to the Zodiac sign your seventh house falls in. The areas of life ruled by that sign can tie into your connections. Also look to the natural planetary ruler of your seventh house (the natural planetary ruler of the Zodiac sign your seventh house falls in) as this can also connect to the 7th house energy.
If you have any natal planets in your seventh house, this can make the seventh house energy a lot stronger for you. That planet has a strong impact on your relationships, and may play a key role in the connections you make and with the people you attract. Transit (moving) planets touring your seventh house can bring some temporary energy for seventh house matters. This often directly impacts your relationships, commitments, and dealings with others. Transit Saturn in the seventh house might be the most difficult as Saturn is a restrictive planet ruling lessons, so many people tend to exit your life with transit Saturn touring your 7th house, and this can be upsetting initially, but it's usually the people that weren't good for you, or where you weren't letting yourself learn the lessons you needed to. Transit planets aspecting your natal 7th house ruler can stimulate seventh house energy as well, and conjunctions, squares, and oppositions by transit Saturn, Uranus, Pluto, or Chiron can be especially challenging and impact your relationships. Any existing relationship issues can worsen, and it's often a time for breakups and broken commitments if you don't work on the underlying issues (both of you).

Some may have a super strong natal seventh house. This can be the case for you if you have:
- a stellium (3+ planets) in the 7th house - your Sun, Moon, or Chiron in the 7th house - your North or South Node in your 7th house - your 1st house ruler in the 7th house - your 7th house cusp or ruler anaretic (at 29 degrees) - retrograde Mercury, Venus, or Mars in the 7th house or ruling the 7th house When you have a strong 7th house, this can mean your relationships are super important to you, and you're likely someone who thrives with a partner by your side (except with Saturn, then you might be on your own until later in life). Good connections are important for your sense of well-being, and you can feel great when you have a solid group of supportive loved ones. Being better balanced, surrounding yourself with serene people instead of chaotic ones, making helpful compromises, and striving with equality can all be an important part of who you are, and maintaining yourself. You need a relatively peaceful life with supportive people, otherwise you can feel out of balance and indecisive.

September 2023 brings us a new moon in productive Virgo and a full moon in high-energy Aries. What energies do these have for us? P.S. Make sure to sign up for the free monthly worksheet so you can keep track of planetary events like new and full moons every month! What is a New Moon?
A new moon occurs when the transit (moving) Sun and Moon are in the exact same position in the Zodiac (called a conjunction). New moons are related to beginnings, have high energy, and are enthusiastic.
What is a Full Moon?
A full moon occurs when the transit (moving) Sun and Moon are in the exact opposite positions in the Zodiac (called an opposition). Full moons are related to endings, culminations, and are emotional energy.
New Moon in Virgo: September 14th 2023 (9:40PM ET/6:40PM PT)
The Virgo new moon is a time for productivity and getting things done, and this can be super welcome with Venus no longer retrograde (no longer appearing to move backward) and Mercury retrograde ending the day after this new moon on the 15th in the same sign. We can come out of that Mercury retrograde with higher energy to get things done, and are less likely to dawdle. We had plenty of time to dawdle during Venus retrograde, it's time to act!
Since Mercury is still retrograde in Virgo when the new moon occurs, there can still be some focus on second chances and do-overs. This would be an amazing time for editing and revising as well. Anything we do work on, we likely need to accomplish it quickly though as the Mercury retrograde moves away, so we've only got 1-2 weeks or so. We can work on projects that excite us and we can make progress quickly, and we can tend to the details and find a way to make them work in our favor. We can get attention for work we've done, and we can enjoy keeping busy. Relaxing is where we may have difficulty. Try to plan for breaks in your schedule so you don't push yourself too far. That's something we all need to keep in mind with Virgo energy, and that's especially true with Mercury retrograde amplifying stress. Don't fuss too much and take breaks when you can. Ceres also enters Scorpio the day after this new moon on the 15th, so being mindful of nourishment, support, and our resources is something that can be important at this time. The new moon is trine (beneficial aspect, 4 signs away) transit (moving) Uranus in Taurus, and this helps us experiment to find new ways to increase productivity, and we can work on taking small steps toward our dreams. We can work independently as well, and we can be more comfortable with doing things in a different way. The new moon occurs at 21 degrees 59 minutes Virgo. The aspects to the new moon are: Conjunction: 19 degrees 59 minutes - 23 degrees 59 minutes Virgo Sextile: 19 degrees 59 minutes - 23 degrees 59 minutes Cancer or Scorpio Square: 19 degrees 59 minutes - 23 degrees 59 minutes Gemini or Sagittarius Trine: 19 degrees 59 minutes - 23 degrees 59 minutes Taurus or Capricorn Opposition: 19 degrees 59 minutes - 23 degrees 59 minutes Pisces Full Moon in Aries: September 29th 2023 (5:58AM ET/2:58AM PT)
Aries is the first sign of the Zodiac, while full moons are times of endings, so Aries full moons can mean the beginning of the end or the end of the beginning. We can get an idea of results from work we've done so far, and this can inform us on our next steps, the next phase of the journey, and what we want to channel our energy into.
Our emotions can fuel us with an Aries full moon, and what we feel can impact our ability to take action and what we take action with. We can use our feelings to inspire us, and this can be helpful for motivation with anything that has been stagnant. But, our emotions can also get in the way, and can steal our energy and make us more drained if we let it. We can be more emotionally invested in what we want for ourselves, and we can stand up for this. We can be a bit louder with our positions, and don't worry too much about making other people mad. We can be passionate, and we can fight back. Aries also rules our identity, so this full moon can be an important one for who we are as individuals. If you have a good connection to who you are, are confident and put yourself out there, you can feel more comfortable with yourself and see the good in you. If you're not confident with yourself, insecure and uncertain, then this full moon can make you feel even more insecure and uncertain, and blocks that are in the way can become more obvious for you to work on. The full moon occurs at 6 degrees 0 minutes Aries. Aspects to the full moon are: Conjunction: 4 degrees 0 minutes - 8 degrees 0 minutes Aries Sextile: 4 degrees 0 minutes - 8 degrees 0 minutes Gemini or Aquarius Square: 4 degrees 0 minutes - 8 degrees 0 minutes Cancer or Capricorn Trine: 4 degrees 0 minutes - 8 degrees 0 minutes Leo or Sagittarius Opposition: 4 degrees 0 minutes - 8 degrees 0 degrees 25 minutes Libra Suggested Reading: The New & Full Moons page for general interpretations by house and aspect 
Ceres is going to exit Libra, where it's been in and out since December 2022, and finally move in Scorpio. What does this transit bring? P.S. Make sure you're signed up for the free monthly worksheet to keep track of Ceres and the other planets every month! What is Ceres in astrology?
Ceres is technically a dwarf planet (like Pluto) but in astrology, we call it an asteroid (as it was before the dwarf planet designation). Ceres is super nurturing, supportive, caring, and there for you. I describe it as a supercharged Moon (maybe mixed with a little Venus).
You can find Ceres in your own chart on astro.com (in Extended Chart Selection, click on Additional Objects, and select Ceres from the menu). Ceres in Scorpio 2023 Dates:
General Impact of Ceres in Scorpio:
Ceres is finally getting out of Virgo and Libra, two signs it's been touring since September 2022, so almost one full year in these two signs. This is because Ceres was retrograde (appearing to move backward) February to May 2023 in these signs, so it got an extended stay. Moving into Scorpio is going to feel different, and we can welcome that.
Scorpio is an intense, emotional water sign though, so we can take our resources and finances seriously. We can share more of the resources and money we have with others, wanting to feel more connected. We can show our support for other people by sharing what we have in some way, and this can strengthen our emotional bonds with them. We may do research to figure out how to better use resources, how to better share with others, and how to increase abundance in our lives. We can get to the heart of matters, and this helps us feel we're more in control. This can be a time to nurture and nourish the power we have, and we can work on strengthening our will. We can be more powerful with how we show support, and we can take control of our resources and finances. We may need to undergo some sort of transformation with how we use our resources, how we get more resources, our approach to money, how we give support, and how we nourish and nurture. Any old issues that we've tucked away deep inside can come out now, and we have to learn how to deal with it properly this time so it doesn't become a problem again. If we don't feel we have adequate support, we may feel like we don't have enough of anything in our lives, so we have to work on improving this as best as we can. The better we're supported, the more we can create something from very little. We can be passionate about our resources and about becoming more resourceful. We can also be more passionate about the bonds we have with others emotionally and physically, and sex and sexuality can be both nurtured and a source of nourishment. Ceres in Scorpio 2023 Aspects:
- Trine Saturn in Pisces on September 20th 2023 at 2 degrees: This aspects helps with discipline and focus, and we can give support and nourishment in disciplined ways. We can be responsible with our resources and finances, and can make long-term plans. This can also show some rewards for hard and smart work financially or with a resource.
- Opposite Jupiter in Taurus on October 16th 2023 at 12 degrees: Jupiter is the planet of expansion, and oppositions are out of control, so we may experience some serious excess and indulgence with this aspect. Windfalls may be bigger than expected, and we may lack focus and discipline with money or resources, and feel quite lazy. - Sextile Venus in Virgo on October 27th 2023 at 17 degrees: It can be easier to get and give support with others, and this can help with feeling more grounded and secure. There can be great focus on nurturing your connections with others, making sure they're as healthy as possible, and feeling nourished by them. - Conjunct Mercury in Scorpio on November 4th 2023 at 21 degrees: This aspect highlights the mind, and we can come up with plenty of new ideas, new plans, and have new conversations around how we can improve our resources and finances. We can voice more support for others, and come up with plans for being more resourceful. - Opposite Uranus in Taurus on November 5th 2023 at 21 degrees: This is the most challenging aspect during Ceres in Scorpio, and we may have a hard time controlling impulsive behavior. We need to channel the extra energy productively, and work on getting unstuck with resources or support. We can make big changes that help us progress forward more quickly, but this may be a bit unsettling initially. - Trine Neptune in Pisces on November 13th 2023 at 25 degrees: Neptune is the planet of compassion and empathy, so a beneficial aspect with Ceres means we're extra compassionate and empathetic. We can do everything we can to show support and help others, including using our own resources. This is easy for us to do, and we can feel empowered from it. - Conjunct the Sun in Scorpio on November 20th 2023 at 28 degrees, Conjunct Mars in Scorpio on November 21st 2023 at 28 degrees, and Sextile Pluto in Capricorn on November 21st 2023 at 28 degrees: The conjunction to the Sun comes with the conjunction to Mars the day after as the Sun, Mars, and Ceres are grouped together and at a positive angle to Pluto. This is extremely powerful, beneficial energy, and the Sun, Mars, and Ceres together bring major energy and drive to utilize our resources, get new resources, and to get and give support. We can be in a big mood to share, and enjoy focusing on expanding our power and control. The sextile to Pluto by all three planets helps with the Scorpio energy (since Pluto is the natural ruler of Scorpio), and we can be more in control and willing to transform. Something important and powerful can happen around this time that is widely beneficial. Final Note:
This tour of Ceres in Scorpio is a lot nicer than it's been for Ceres in the last year! There's really just aspect to watch out for (opposite Uranus) and the rest is fairly smooth. And it's especially beneficial toward the end with Ceres in a stellium with the Sun and Mars, and all three at a beneficial angle to Pluto. How empowering!

The second house in astrology is a solid, stable, grounded house. It comes after the action-packed first house, where we begin, so the second house is where we build on that and get ready for the changes in the third house. 2nd House Astrology & Your Natal Chart
Astrology charts have 12 houses, and each link to different parts of life. Your natal chart is a snapshot of the locations of the planets, other bodies, and houses in the Zodiac at the moment you're born and from the location you're born at. Each of your natal houses connects to different parts of your life and personality.
The 2nd house is ruled by Venus, sensual and pragmatic. The 2nd house gets Venus's earthy side. Since the 2nd house connects to Taurus, Ceres can also connect to the 2nd house (argued to be the real ruler of Taurus). Ceres is nurturing and resourceful. At-a-Glance 2nd House Keywords:
2nd House in Astrology: Resources and Money
The second house in astrology is best known as the house of money. The eighth house also connects with money, but the eighth house is other people's money (money you share or earn with others), whereas the second house is your own money.
The second house is your own resources, so this includes money but goes beyond that. It's your possessions, anything you own and is yours, so this can include material possessions and even things like property (though that is firstly governed by the fourth house). 2nd House in Astrology: Values
The second house is also widely known as the house of values. This means the values you have in life. Whether you abide by them or not is a whole other story (LOL! but the condition of your second house may show whether or not you do).
This ties the second house to the ninth house (which are your philosophical, political and religious beliefs) and the twelfth house (which are your spiritual beliefs). You can see how astrology splits these things up. 2nd House in Astrology: Self-Confidence and Self-Esteem
The second house connects to confidence and how you feel about yourself. The first house also connects to confidence, but it's more blustery than the second house. This is where your true levels of self-esteem lie.
What makes you feel confident and good about yourself, how you can improve your confidence and self-esteem, and what can make your confidence and self-esteem take a hit can all be in your second house. 2nd House in Astrology: Worth
This connects a little with the second house ruling your values and your self-esteem, so the second house also rules worth. This is self-worth as well as what you find worthy of your time, attention, money, and resources.
What you value is often tied to what you feel is worth your time, and your own self-esteem is often tied to your feelings of self-worth. This is found via your second house. 2nd House in Astrology: Stability and Security
The second house is a grounded house, and governs our stability and security. Along with the Moon, the second house shows what we need for stability and security, and what this can look like for us.
A challenging second house can show a life of ups and downs, lessons in going with the flow and embracing chaos; an easy second house can show an easy life (or at least easier, relatively speaking). 2nd House in Astrology: Physical and Sensual
The second house is a physical house. Remember it's ruled by Venus, a sensual planet connected to the physical world. The second house isn't a house of big thinking or feeling. It's instead a house of being connected to the physical body and physical world.
This means your senses are governed by the second house, and sensuality is here (not to be confused with sexuality, which is the eighth house; again, see how astrology splits them up). The physical world around us connects to the second house (along with the sixth house). 2nd House in Astrology: Abundant
The second house is where we find abundance (along with asteroid Abundantia and planet Jupiter). This ties into the second house connecting to the physical world and ruling our resources. Second house abundance can be with money (often if you have your natal Venus, Ceres, or Jupiter here), but it can also tie to other things depending on the sign the second house falls in, planets in the house, and what the second house ruler is up to.
Where Your Second House Energy is Found
For everyone, look to the Zodiac sign your second house falls in. The areas of life ruled by that sign are where you can focus on your resources, stability, and worth. Also look to the natural planetary ruler of your second house (the natural planetary ruler of the Zodiac sign your second house falls in) as this can also connect to the 2nd house energy.
If you have any natal planets in your second house, this can make the second house energy a lot stronger for you. That planet has a strong impact on your resources, what you value, your confidence, and your stability. Transit (moving) planets touring your second house can bring some temporary energy for second house matters. This often directly impacts your finances or resources in some way, and your attitude and approach to them, as well as to your confidence and values. Transit Pluto in the second house is the strongest and most notorious, as Pluto can strip your life down to the studs, removing anything false that has propped up your self-esteem or made you feel secure, and force you to start over. Transit planets aspecting your natal 2nd house ruler can stimulate second house energy as well, and conjunctions, squares, and oppositions by transit Saturn, Uranus, Pluto, or Chiron can be especially challenging and impact your confidence and resources. You have to work on having healthy security and self-esteem, and being smart with resources.

Some may have a super strong natal second house. This can be the case for you if you have:
- a stellium (3+ planets) in the 2nd house - your Sun, Moon, or Chiron in the 2nd house - your North or South Node in your 2nd house - your 1st house ruler in the 2nd house - your 2nd house cusp or ruler anaretic (at 29 degrees) - retrograde Mercury, Venus, or Mars in the 2nd house or ruling the 2nd house When you have a strong 2nd house, this can mean your resources and money are super important for you. You need to get money squared away and feel like you have enough resources to make you feel safe and secure. Without that, you can be on edge constantly, and can either be extra stubborn, refusing to budge out of fear, or extra wandering, lacking any certainty to stay put. Having solid self-confidence and bringing stability into your life is really important. It may be tempting to base these things off of something physical, but you likely need to learn how to feel good about yourself independent of anything physical. This creates sustainable security, and eventually sustainable abundance.
