Mars in the 2nd house
Mars in the 2nd house: drive aimed at building resources, and self-worth proved through effort.
Meaning
Effort and urgency come into the 2nd, the succedent house that builds and keeps. Since Rudhyar, astrologers have read it as the house of values and of what feels one’s own, as much as of possessions. Values are defended with spirit here, and a steadier hand is learned with time.
In the 2nd house, Mars puts energy, ambition and a competitive edge into money, possessions and self-worth.
