The Moon in the 2nd house of the solar return

The Moon in the 2nd house of the solar return turns the year towards family, domestic well-being and money flows. Income and mood are noticeably linked this year.

The second house of the annual chart governs family, savings, food, speech and values. The Moon here brings changeable finances — income and spending come in waves — but also gentleness and care in the family circle. It is a good year for a business connected with people, food and everyday goods. Family gatherings and celebrations often become a source of joy in such a year.

Emotional spending is the main risk of the placement. It helps to keep accounts and not to make money decisions on a wave of strong feeling.

How to read this placement

A strong Moon in the solar return, especially under the aspect of Jupiter or Venus, strengthens income and family ties. The Moon in Scorpio or near Saturn makes the financial background more anxious. It also matters whether the Moon rules the lagna of the solar return or the house with the muntha: then its voice in the year is louder. The other factors of strength are collected in the overview of the varshaphala.
