Mars in the 2nd House

Self-esteem. Mars in the 2nd house indicates that your judgment of yourself includes concepts such as "desire" and "struggle." You must affirm yourself to gain personal significance. You must push your way toward it and often fight for it. Even major battles may arise around the theme of self-esteem, and arguments that originated deep within may surface. Anger directed at yourself is a trap, and the task is to aggressively destroy negative feelings if you find yourself believing in them; burn them away in the flame of desire for positive feelings and progressive, constructive movement. Possessions. You expend considerable energy to possess property. You must fight local battles for what belongs to you. You attach great importance to conquests, for you wish to prove your character through territorial expansion. You usually concentrate your energy on acquisition rather than protection or preservation of property. The task is to keep moving forward, advancing through possessions without looking back, and to view the theme of ownership as a field of honor and glory. Money. The acquisition and spending of financial resources are a source of considerable heat that spreads through your personality. At times you feel it, and it manifests as passionate interest, while at other times it appears as malicious aggression. Money is often the battleground where courage and the ability of the "self" to assert itself are proven. You strongly desire personal wealth and the power it provides, for riches are a symbol of victory; sometimes they are also used as a weapon in the struggle for personal success, though their primary use is as an accelerator that allows you to advance quickly. The task is to compete with full force but by the rules. Remember that this competition is mainly with yourself, not with others. Self-organization. You are like a racehorse that loves to run. Long, complex work is not for you; you are more of a sprinter than a long-distance runner. Your natural inclination is to sprint, stretched out in full stride, toward a clearly visible finish line. You are not a master of precision, refinement, or detail—such work does not interest you. Mistakes are inevitable, and you often do not notice them, which forces you to abandon certain types of work. For this planetary position, physical work with a strong emotional component is ideal; also note your instinct for crisis situations, where you truly shine. Do not avoid obstacles; push through them, solving problems one at a time rather than all at once. The task is to maintain your drive and momentum at a high level and to face problems head-on. Sensuality. Your sense and desire go hand in hand. Pleasure here is not emphasized, as it is in the case of Venus, but instead, there is a fiery passion ignited by contact. This fire grows from a spark into a flame and can become a wildfire of activity and kinetic drive. Desire and emotional heat are experienced more physically than spiritually, because the physical world is the natural arena of aggression. The trap is that these volatile energies can sometimes carelessly misuse your body when you turn to the arena of battle rather than the source of pleasure. The task is to use sensuality for self-affirmation, as the senses and the soul’s sensors, but also to remember that all-encompassing sexuality encompasses far more than mere physical contact. It may begin with physical contact but must end with the interaction of souls.

Such a person can easily get rich through his own work. He works hard to achieve a better financial position and always earns well. He spends money without restrictions or restraint, and therefore is known as generous and open to the needs of others. If desires are not fulfilled in a short time, he tends to quickly lose patience. Loves work that brings quick income. He is inclined towards engineering and technical professions, and is interested in military and public service. May be the owner of a loud, rude, deafening voice. The defeat of the planet is associated with the inability to preserve what is available, hence frequent financial and property crises. Such a person actively and selflessly strives for financial success and material wealth. He is very businesslike and efficient, but spends as quickly as he earns. He needs to learn to control his expenses. He likes to independently run his own business and is inclined not to join existing enterprises, but to found his own. He loves competition of a financial and business nature, strives to gain prestige by openly demonstrating his profit and success. Always wants to surpass others. He fights fiercely in the name of protecting personal property, and falls into immense indignation when others want to take away what he has. But I am ready to give away my property if it will be beneficial in the future and make a good impression. Incorrect use of energies leads to the formation of obsessive greed, obsession with stinginess and banal theft. Riches seem to flow through such a person - he does not know how to hold on to what he receives, although from time to time he receives a lot. I owe all my profit only to my own energy, personal activity, individual skill and expended effort. Often enters into serious struggle when dividing income with partners. This person is rash, eccentric and careless in financial matters. He seems to have good powers, but bad inclinations. He has a lot of money, but does not become rich, since the ability to earn money is combined with mismanagement, indecisiveness in taking on financial responsibility and excessive generosity, as well as recklessness when investing. The ability to earn money is combined with extravagance; money is not valued, only the process of obtaining it is important. Therefore, life proceeds in battles and crises, it is very difficult to find a point of balance between constant bankruptcies and unexpectedly appearing arrays of earned funds. The person is hardworking, efficient, and very energetic. But at the same time he is carefree, frivolous, careless and careless in financial matters.

A real warrior cares about his fighting spirit, and not about the composition and weapons of the enemy army. Mars in the 2nd house is in symbolic captivity. Here the outside world shows great activity and often aggression at moments when a person is completely unprepared for this, and his attention is scattered. The external environment, especially when Mars is affected, is quite hostile, it is difficult to get used to it, and it is necessary to learn how to defend yourself. This is the position of a warrior who must always be ready so that an enemy who appears from nowhere does not take him by surprise. At the same time, the person himself is quite active in the outside world, and he defends and achieves his values ​​very energetically, especially with a strong Mars or Mars in a masculine sign. He is impressed by physical strength and, in general, manifestations of strength available to his level: from military to spiritual, but it is perhaps most difficult for him to realize the power of gentleness and love. Here defeat gives a strong phobia, since the subconscious enemy is the external environment as a whole, and it is not possible to localize it. The development follows the path of mastering higher types of energy and gradually establishing relationships with the environment, for which you need to learn to understand it well. In this case, one of the significant obstacles will be the discrepancy in personal and social value systems, poor understanding of the situations in general that arise around a person. They are perceived as much more hostile and aggressive than they are; The person himself is perceived by the environment with the same distortions.

Libido planets Mars and Venus exert only superficial, transient influences in partnership relationships and are decisive factors only in rare cases. We will see this below when examining the mutual aspects between partners. Only when the libido planets of both partners form more or less exact major aspects to one another is it likely that sex is the primary binding force. But when the libido planets of one partner aspect any of the other planets of the other, sex is not so dominant. The latter occurs much more frequently. Libido planets play different roles in the charts of men and women. In a man’s chart, Mars symbolizes the man’s own libido and is therefore included in his “self” image. Libido planets in this house, as well as in the opposite 8th, impel fidelity to a partner. In this house, the instinct of possession is strongly expressed, and having libido planets here, we want the partner not to cross certain boundaries in behavior and belong only to us. Mars in the 2nd house in a man’s chart may impel him to flaunt his wealth: he tries to impress a lady with material abundance.
