Rahu in the 2nd house of the solar return

Rahu in the 2nd house of the solar return kindles an interest in money and new sources of income: the year may bring unusual opportunities, but calls for caution in words and spending.

The second house of the solar return is personal funds, family, speech, food and values. Rahu here strengthens the desire to have more, while Ketu in the 8th house at the same time weakens interest in shared resources and other people's money.

What the year brings

Typical are searches for extra earnings, an interest in foreign currency, online trading, new financial instruments. Speech may become sharper or more striking: the person speaks convincingly but sometimes promises more than they are ready to deliver. New people or unusual circumstances may appear in the family. Eating habits change — it is best not to overdo the experiments.

The main risk of the year is dubious schemes and decisions made out of fear of missing out on a profit.

How to judge its strength

If the lord of Rahu's sign in the solar return is strong and connected with favourable houses, the new income turns out to be real. If it is weak and Rahu is conjunct Mars or Saturn, it is better to keep money in a safe place. Compare with the placement Rahu in the 2nd house of the birth chart and with the description of the 2nd house; the method is in the overview of the solar return.
