The Sun in the 2nd house of the solar return

The Sun in the 2nd house of the solar return turns the year's attention to income, savings, family and one's own voice. Money and values become a question of self-respect.

The second house of the annual chart governs resources, the family circle, speech and what a person considers valuable. Here the Sun prompts one to put finances in order, to stand up for one's own worth and to speak with weight. Income may be connected with superiors, government bodies or a role where authority is valued.

The difficulty of the placement is categorical speech and disputes over money and family rules. The Sun in this house tends to spend on status; it is wise to separate real needs from the wish to impress.

What the result depends on

A strong Sun (its own dignity, good Tajika aspects from Jupiter or Venus) supports a steady inflow of funds. With a connection to Saturn or Rahu the year calls for caution in promises and money decisions. The solar return is cast for the moment the Sun returns to its natal sidereal degree and acts for a year, so the house the Sun occupies in the birth chart matters: the annual placement only awakens what was laid down at birth (see the overview of the varshaphala).
