The lord of the 2nd house in the 5th house of the horoscope

“Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra” (chapter 26): “If the ruler of the 2nd bhava is placed in the 5th bhava, then the native will be wealthy. His son too will strive to earn wealth”.

The placement of the ruler of the 2nd in the 5th house may give the following results:

• wealth from speculation, art, sport, entertainment, children
• expenditures on children, art, education — this will be of value to the person

Wealth, money by means of speculation or ventures, reasonableness, erudition, family happiness, income thanks to children, wholesome nourishment, a predestination to receive money without particular effort thanks to purva punya (merits from the previous life). (James Braha)

The result of such a placement will be a cruel character and distress connected with the members of the family. Money may be obtained as a result of successful investments, gaming, or through teaching activity. Sensuality and miserliness are inherent in this person. (Tom Hopke)

Profit from family property, speculation, games of chance and lotteries. The favour of the authorities, an ill-disposed attitude towards the family, sensuality. He obtains prosperity through children, famous personalities and religious centres, but when the planet is afflicted these same factors become the cause of expenditure. (Shri G.S. Agarwal)

4. To engage in self-education and in association with wise people.
5. To give children a family upbringing and education.
