What the 2nd house governs
The 2nd house rules wealth, family, speech, food, savings. Read it through three things: the sign on the cusp, any planets sitting in it, and the condition of its lord elsewhere in the chart. A house is rarely judged by occupancy alone — an empty house is not an empty area of life.
