The second house stands for wealth, finance & hereditary position
- Das
Second house (Dhana Bhava) stands for Wealth; Happiness, Pleasure, Truthfulness, Speech, right eye etc.
-- Madhya Parashari, Ch. 9 , Shloka 2
From the second house should be found out all about goods, precious stones, wealth minerals etc. possessed by the native & also about his friends.
--Sankheta Nidhi, Ch. 7, Shloka 2
Wealth, grains (food etc.), family, death, enemies, metals, precious stones etc. are to be understood through Dhana Bhava.
-- BPHS - Ch. 11, Shloka 3
"Dhanam" or accruals, is seen through:
2nd house from radix lagna
2nd house from Chandra
Whatever results are to be known from ... Dhana ... should also be known from ... the 2nd... from Chandra.
-- BPHS Ch. 7, Shloka 39-43
The astrological picture of food, wealth, speech etc. is expanded by noting:
2nd-from-2nd, or Bhratru bhava (particularly self-made wealth)
Shukra (Venus)
2nd-from-Shukra
radix (D-1) planets in Vrishabha (Taurus)
2nd navamsha
radix L-2 within navamsha [i.e., navamsha of the second lord]
Shukra within navamsha
Lord of the second house is "Shri Vishnu" i.e. the sustainer of the radix who brings the key supports of food, family, and finance.
According to Sanjay Rath's Crux of Vedic Astrology, the Timing of Events (p. 81) planets placed in the fourth-from-second-lord tend to be weakened.
1st-from-2nd
(body parts, physical level)
Saturation (death) of individuality, as the personal uniqueness is overwhelmed by the common traits within the family.
Saturation (death) of independent action, and the weight of lineage values (Skandha) overdetermines the possibility of free choice.
In the physical body, Dhana Bhava signifies
mouth, teeth, tongue
jaw, throat
eyes, esp. right eye
nose
hair
facial features
The first house is the physical body & our primitive identity with that body. The second house expands our conscious identity slightly past the fleshly body itself, to awareness of eyes, nose, etc.
Dhana bhava describes the first level of extension of identity. Starting from the reality of 'having a body' domain-1, the identity works outward into the world of the family, our people, our history, our traditions, our values. Dhana is the emergent social identity of early childhood, "I-me-mine", cocooned within the protective embrace of the family.
The primary value in all human life is food. "Health is Wealth." The most basic signification of dhana bhava is quality of food intake & the health we derive from that food. The person with beneficial aspects to dhana bhava will get good enjoyable food, through his nice teeth, strong jaw, & sensitive tongue.
2nd-from-rashi lagna
2nd-from-house-X gives saturation, completion, end-of-cycle & [temporal] death of the matters of House-X.
Also, 2nd-from = 2nd spouse of person signified by house-X.
Presence of wellness & wealth, in every form: material, ethical, aesthetic, "cultural capital", etc. House-2 shows the identity & values of the family lineage in which you were raised. How those values become articulated depends on L-2 and other connections to house-2.
If L-2 inhabits house-10 for example, your accumulated wealth will emerge largely in your leadership roles. Your values have religious significance (10th being 9th-from-2nd) and your leadership style is influenced by your knowledge of history.
If L-2 inhabits house-9 by contrast, your accumulated wealth will emerge largely in your guru roles transmitting specialized knowledge to an elite group of listeners. Your values have tantric significance (9th being 8th-from-2nd) and your paternal style is influenced by your knowledge of older traditions.
"Wealth" is the power to manifest, the power to create good experiences, the power to be well. House-2 & L-2 indicate
material wealth levels, accrued value in savings, securities & shares, hoards, property.
intellectual property
moral & aesthetic values.
Credit and Credibility
3rd-from-12th
3rd-from-House-X shows the mental activities & self-made wealth of matters of that house.
Also, 3rd-from = younger sibling of person signified by house-X.
Communicating about dreams, meditative reflections, secret love affairs, mysterious travels in foreign lands.
Dhana bhava rules speech, song, oral tradition, the fireside theatre of bards & traveling historians. Oral performance; music; songs & song-writing. The actor/performer = domain-5 but the code of the literary or oral tradition = domain-2.
Self-made wealth arising from the imagination; conscious positive wealth image projection.
Business administration of sanctuary enclosures such as ashrams and monasteries, hospitals and prisons. (Typically these involve large populations and the total material wealth is significant.) Sales, marketing, public relations etc. which promotes or discusses matters of the imagination.
4th-from-11th
4th-from-House-X gives the secure basis & protection, the roots, the housing & containment, of matters of that house.
your lineage values provide stability & security to the large interconnected networks of association which define your exchanges of goods, services, & information
5th-from-10th
5th-from-house-X gives creative expression to the matters of that house
your wealth & appreciation of natural beauty brings fame, authority, & good fortune to your public standing or career
6th-from-9th
6th-from-X = debt accruing from the matters of house-X.
animosity/imbalance with and for your children & grandchildren esp. your 3rd child; health/financial imbalance for grandchildren; debts of grandchildren and/or children (including expenses for public advancement such as children's education & health care; these are valuable debts!)
Enemies of religion including materialism/wealth-hoarding. (Religion depends on ultimately non-material values, including spirit communication.)
7th-from-8th
7th-from-House-X profiles the marriage, partnership & advising relationships conducted by the occupants of that house.
Partnerships with secret, tantric persons such as healers; financial advisors who have privileged insights; holders of confidential information - these are partnerships which build wealth.
8th-from-7th
8th-from any house shows the hidden, subconscious motives acting upon that house.
Does *not* permanently destroy matters of the house, although the transformation may be so dramatic that it appears destroyed.
Turning of the cycle of birth & death regarding marriage and business partnerships. Sudden change of terms in contracts. Knowledge of frightening secrets which creates sudden change in existing agreements. Traumatic, transformative upheavals from subconscious (& ) which can disturb your marriage & core partnerships.
Second marriage. If the 2nd marriage relationship manifests while the 1st marriage is still operating, the destructive effects on the people represented by house-7 (spouse & business partners) are obvious. Vimshottari bhukti of the lord of house-2 or house-8 is the most common timing agent for divorce.
Other types of arising subconscious pattern or confidential information such as the native's birth family speaking about his spouse (positive or negative depending on character of house-2)
8th-from-7th = transformation through decisions made in law courts, especially through secret or hidden causes.
Surgeries & other healing therapies on the sexual reproductive system. Surgeries of the spouse. Circumstances of death for the spouse.
9th-from-6th
good fortune from skillful conflict management, handling of loans and financial risks, engagement in medicines and handling of disease, other dangerous or imbalanced situations such as war and famine
10th-from-5th
rewards accompanying prestige originating in creative intelligence such as wealth from intellectual property (patents etc.), prestige from children, rewards due to public approval from literary success, speculative investments, other successful risks
11th-from-4th
11th-from any house shows the gains produced by the matters of that house.
Gains originating in education & property ownership. Gains from the mother & her lineage roots. Gains due to parents' values & gains that are used to develop the family values, increases in family wealth.
Friends who share a similar education & are gainful in association with one another.
12th-from-3rd
12th-from-house-X shows losses sustained by house-X, as well as voluntary withdrawal from activities of house-X.
Loss of mental engagement, loss of planning capabilities, loss of interest in conventional business activities, meditative withdrawal from daily busyness.
Typically the native with a dominantly strong house-2 is possessed of significant lineage wealth either material, moral, or aesthetic; this native wishes to cultivate his inherited lineage values rather than disperse his concentration amongst the diverse & diffuse daily conversations of the average life.
"Skandha" literally means "heap".
2nd-house of "character" is the repository of the huge "heap" of psychic constructs which define and structure the mind. The psychic structure is generated by a "pile-up" of imprints left on the field of the subconscious by past experiences.
In English, the word "character" comes from the Greek "kharakter" meaning "an engraved mark". (From "kharax" meaning "pointed stake.") Character means the traits which are "engraved" or "carved into" the personality. Any parent will attest that children show individual character almost from the first moment of birth.
The elaborate psychic structure which contains the vast accrual of past-life and developing present-life experiences is represented by dhana-bhava, the house of accrued wealth. The individual's moral and aesthetic values, speech patterns, family lineage, knowledge of historical tradition, material wealth - even his hair and nails! - are considered "outflowings" or "sravana" of his enormous subconscious accumulation of past experience.
By default the subconscious creates a massive network of unexamined presumptions, expectations, automatic actions and reactions, etc., until its material comes to conscious attention. At this point of awareness the samskara / character can begin to be intentionally changed.
Favorable occupants and aspects to dhana bhava gives strong straight clean teeth; a well formed mouth with soft, full lips; and clear, truthful speech. Moral and aesthetic values as well as vocal tone are pleasingly elegant. Wealth accrues naturally as the fruit of his labor. The native intrinsically appreciates his wealth, and thereby gains happiness from it -- whatever its comparative value.
Unfavorable conditions in dhana bhava will be obvious in damaged or crooked teeth, unclear or offensive speech, and under-developed moral values. Such a native may do well in other areas of life, but they will likely never be happy in regard to their wealth.
Should they acquire some form of wealth, it will seem distasteful or inadequate compared to his neighbors. Normally the native with a corrupt mouth will suffer jealousy of others' wealth and remain in the mental state of poverty.
If the chart allows, a person born into a low family may evolve higher values independently of the family habit. As this individual develops morally and aesthetically, one of his first priorities will be to clean the mouth, straighten the teeth, and cease vulgar speech. They will begin to choose cleaner food, often becoming vegetarian and refraining from alcohol. Watch this person with interest. After fixing mouth and speech, their wealth will dramatically improve.
"Jupiter must be the karaka for language. If he is in lagna or aspects the 9th house, one will know several languages.
The second house indicates speech.
If Ketu is in the second or the lord of the second happens to see the second then the native will become well versed in a number of languages.
The second house and Jupiter are the most important factors for judging linguistic capabilities."
~~ B.V. Raman, A Catechism of Astrology, p. 39
Both physical Eyesight and power of observation, along with intuitive sight, are encompassed in Dhana Bhava.
Traditionally dhana is more the profile of one's right eye (left brain), while vyaya bhava more completely describes the left eye (right brain). Thus the rishis taught what we have recently discovered: while right brain or vyaya bhava is the spatial imagination, left brain or dhana sthana is the domain of speech.
" If Dhana lord is endowed with strength, the native will possess beautiful eyes."
-- BPHS Ch 13, shloka 12
Although L-11 is a primary indicator of method of earning, when L-2 is coordinated with L-10 and L-11, L-2 shows the moral and aesthetic values (instilled by the family during childhood) which determine the overall wealth levels and give the deepest motivation to the earnings patterns.
Relationships between L-2, L-10, and L-11 profile the wealth-earning patterns.
For example, for Vrischika lagna:
dhana bhava = Dhanau
if L-2 Guru = Karkata, in house-9
this person will acquire stored wealth by means of constant travel within the "temple network" of huge-scale property owners (Karka = land ownership) working within a "priesthood" of international capital bankers
For example, for Simha lagna:
dhana bhava = Kanya
if L-2 Budha = Simha, in lagna
this person will will acquire stored wealth by their personal bodily appearance in a glamorous, youth-oriented, entertainment context
For example, for Mithuna lagna:
dhana bhava = Karka
L-2 Chandra = Mesha
this person will acquire significant stored wealth (L-2 in house-11, a yoga for wealth) through conflict (Mesha) regarding watery places and things (e.g., ocean & river shipping, water pollution)
Additional aspects to dhana bhava and its lord, the condition of 10th-from-chandra and perhaps the 10th navamsha, will reveal the full wealth-earning capacity.
Face, Speech, Talking
Dhana bhava's profile includes:
quality of face, hair,
mouth, teeth, tongue, jaw, & voice;
spoken & facial expression,
and the speaking part of language ability.
Venus in dhanastana gives a beautiful face (and a nice voice), although the type of beauty depends very much on rashi & drishti.
Mouth Teeth Voice Articulation
Sumukha Yogas
Definition.
The lord of the 2nd should be in a kendra aspected by benefics, or benefics should join the 2nd house (166).
The lord of the 2nd should be posited in a kendra which should be his exaltation, own or friendly sign and the lord of the kendra should attain Gopuramsa (167).
Results.The subject will have an attractive and smiling face.
Remarks.Speech, eyes and facial appearance are all signified by the 2nd house.
It must follow therefore that when the 2nd house and the 2nd lord are afflicted, his speech must be harsh, eyesight defective, and facial appearance ugly.
In reality this will not be the case because an ugly looking person may have a polished tongue and clear sight or a man of defective vision may have a gifted tongue.
In all these cases, apart from how a yoga is defined, the disposition of the karaka should receive prime consideration.
*[BPL note: Gopuramsha = graha occupies a favorable rashi in 4 out of 7 vargas.]
Dur-mukha Yogas:
Definition. Malefics should occupy the 2nd
and its lord should join an evil planet or be in debilitation (168)
The lord of the 2nd being evil, should join Gulika or occupy unfriendly and debilitated Navamsha with malefics (169).
Results. The person will have an ugly or repulsive face and he becomes angry and irritable.
Remarks: The intensity of beauty or ugliness of the face depends upon the good or evil influences which have reference to the 2nd house.
Some are ugly from birth and some become ugly on account of disfiguration by accidents and these accidents happen during the periods and sub-periods of the planets concerned.
~~ B.V. Raman's "300 Important Conbinations" #166 - #169:
Early childhood, extended family
The second most basic form of wealth or well-being is belonging within the family, and the social identity we develop through speech communication within the family.
Dhana rules family blood lines, our early childhood, and acquisition of primary moral values. We learn what to eat, what to say, how to treat each other - from not only parents and siblings but also the larger tribal unit, including grandparents, aunts & uncles, cousins, house servants, etc. Social cooperation, recognition of worthiness, and verbal support from the extended family is a basic signification of dhana bhava.
Although dhana bhava along with 2nd-from-Chandra and the 2nd navamsha, profiles the early childhood, each parent and sibling, aunt and uncle, can be individually known as well.
Mother is individually known through bandhu sthana, the Moon, 4th-from-Moon, and either Moon or L4 in dwadashamsha (whichever is stronger). Father is individually known through dharma bhava, Surya, 9th-from-Surya, and the stronger of either Ravi or L9 in dwadamsha (D-12).
If your dhana bhava and its lord are in good condition there will be harmonious conditions within your family, ensuring a happy childhood. Malefic aspects on dhana bhava indicate lack of cooperation in early childhood, and the well known later struggle for happiness that emerges from childhood suffering.
More Family information from Dhana Bhava
As 6th-from-9th, look to dhana for information on father's enemies, debts, and disease.
As 11th-from-4th, dhana tells about mother's immediate older sibling; however, don't forget the often-more-revealing 11th-from-Moon.
As 4th-from-11th, dhana shows your immediate elder sibling's house
Your children's career, especially the career of your first child, is seen in 10th-from-5th dhana bhava. (Also see 10th-from-L-5, and second house within saptamsha.)
Dhana includes all the the core traditional values passed through the family line. How to treat the land, and how to treat each other. How to remember the ancestors, through songs and stories. How to celebrate the passage of time.
Core morality, timing of religious ritual & celebrations, knowledge of sacred texts, old stories, history, ancestry, ritual foods, "comfort foods", mother tongue, speech dialect and intonation, old songs - form one's basic cultural education through oral tradition.
Cultural education, knowledge of history, banking, conservation, understanding of public values, and creation of public social policy are all encompassed within the second house.
Money may not be the "root of all evil" but clearly house-2 for wealth is 6th-from-dharmasthana - making money a natural "enemy of religion".
There is a natural domain conflict, a natural & normal imbalance, between the values which underlie advanced social morality such as equitable distribution of wealth, and value which underlie the tradition of each family accumulating wealth for itself.
There is natural animosity between the call to tribal or cultural priesthood, which requires the native to communicate ritually with the spirit world full of beings who lack human bodies, versus the call to cultivate material wealth which has predominantly material properties.
Consider the similar natural domain conflict between the parochial, localized education of house-4 and the cosmic, universalized education of house-9.
If a person applies all their attention to cultivating the local morals of their region, they will have no energy left for dealing with people & spirits who are different from them.
By the same token, if a person focuses exclusively on a universal view which is so inclusive that all sentient beings - perhaps all beings of any structure - are recognized and respected, there is no energy left to protect or promote the local customs, and one becomes a stranger in one's own home.
Such is the natural animosity or permanent competition for attention & resources into which dhana and dharma are permanently juxtaposed.
Performance Arts
Beneficial dhana as 10th-from-5th is key to professional success in performance arts, literature and theatre. When dhana is strong, the speech will be musical and the person is gifted to sing or tell stories, especially in the mother tongue. Teeth, tongue, curve of jaw and shape of mouth are magnetically beautiful.
Both literary and theatrical success require strong dhana bhava, strong 2nd-from-2nd sahaja bhava for craft in the hands, and also a strong 4th-from-2nd putra bhava for "roots" in a creative lineage. If sahaja, putra, 2nd-from-Moon AND the 2nd-from-Shukra are strong in addition to blessings in the 2nd house of the bard - remembering the ancient songs and stories -- a brilliant performer will result.
As the 8th-from-7th, dhana bhava shows players & circumstances which create end-of-cycle of the first marriage.
Periods of L-2 or L-8 indicate the death of the first spouse. Divorce, which equals the saturation (2nd-from-7) or destruction (8th-from-7) of marriage, also occurs during period of L-2 or L-8.
The first marriage is more oriented to balancing with a partner who is significantly opposite to oneself, who has traits of the maternal grandmother (4th-from-4th) plus provides a post-childhood home & security (4th-from-4th) .
The first spouse will be a member of the father's or guru's network of associations (11th-from-9th) or will be a "friend to your religion". Thus the first spouse promotes one's overt moral beliefs. In an arranged marriage the parents ensure social compatibility (similar caste etc.) and in a love marriage the young couple talk over how they want to live, what they believe, and how to raise their children. Either way, compatibility in external mores is achieved. (If house-7 is distressed then social morality is one of the first stressors, of course!)
However the spouse's value's being 2nd-from-7th the native's house-8, are always problematic in marriage; in-laws have been a problem in marriage since time immemorial.
The first spouse's fantasies & long foreign journeys, being 12th-from-7th = the native's house-6, are a source of conflict & animosity by default.
These defaults can be corrected if the native has auspicious 6th or 8th houses, but generally the downside of the first marriage is established by seeing what houses become dusthana from the 7th.
If a second marriage is indicated, look to house-2 for its public face. (Look to navamsha-2 for its private face.) Using house-2 as lagna, see which houses become subhasthana and which become dusthana.
House-2 is lagna for the second spouse. Therefore, ceteris paribus, we attract a 2nd-marriage partner who is less our opposite (7), and more shares the culture and experience of our early childhood (7).
The naturally auspicious kendra houses counting from dhana bhava are house-5, house-8, and house-11. Thus, children & personal creativity; healings - including shared finances of marriage; and gains/friendships, are all by default enhanced in the second marriage.
The natural dusthanas within the 2nd marriage become:
animosity of 6th-from-2nd =house-7 (surviving partners from first marriages)
destruction/transformation of 8th-from-2nd = house-9 (religion & social morality)
dissolution/spiritualization of12th-from-2nd (one's social identity).
As always, if these dusthanas-from-2nd are occupied by good planets, receive helpful drishti etc. then the experience of spouse's previous partners, or religious sanction, or dissolution of identity can be highly favorable.
To evaluate the second marriage partner and timing of second marriage, Jyotishi will consider:
2nd-from-lagna and its Lord
2nd-from-Moon and its Lord
2nd-from-Venus and its Lord
2nd house within navamsha
dasha timing of these controlling planets
Death
Dhana bhava and yuvati bhava, the second and seventh rashi houses, are "maraka" or death houses which show saturation with sensual experience signaling physical death.
Compare to 8th house randhra bhava which shows the circumstances of personal death not the timing. (However as 2nd-from-7th Randhra can show timing of death of first spouse.)
Timing of the spirit's departure from the physical vehicle is known by time-lordship of L2, L7, lord of 2nd-from-Moon and 7th-from-Moon. 2nd-from any house can indicate saturation of matters in that house. Saturation indicates that one's complete agenda regarding matters of that house has been fully accomplished and permission to move to a new energy body has been earned.
When dhana bhava is auspicious
we find historians, priests, singers, artists, bankers, cooks -- all curators of the ancient wealth in food, money, values, images, traditions, truths.
They are good singers and speakers, natural entertainers and storytellers with a great sense of humor. Dhana bhava in strength confers a powerful sense of stewardship for public lands, possessiveness of private lands, a deep and abiding personal connection to Nature, and natural talent for wealth development in many forms.
If dhanasthana be afflicted
there will be problems with food choices. The person may ingest improperly prepared food (spoiled, chemically altered, or otherwise damaged) and other poisons through the mouth. Alcohol and other by-mouth drug poisoning is common. Teeth, tongue, & jaw are misshapen. Vulgar aggressive speech rolls off the tongue. Learning new languages may be impossible.
They suffer chronic financial problems caused by lack of hoarding skill. These folks just cannot save money. Typically they are born into a family line that does not understand wealth development, and cannot transit wealth values to their children. Thus a malefic dhana bhava suggests being born into a lineage of ignorance and poverty.
The person will suffer blocked access to traditional historical and religious teachings, disconnection from their ancestral line, and lack sympathy for Mother Earth.
If Dhana's lord is in Randhra Bhava, the native will be endowed with abundant land and wealth. But he will have limited marital felicity and be bereft of happiness from his elder brother.
---BPHS Ch. 24, Shloka 20
Studies in Power of Dhana Bhava
Shri Aurobindo: This pre-eminent spokesperson for contemporary Indian independence, the profound beauty and eternal value of ancient Indian spiritual culture, and for the future spiritual evolution of all mankind has an exemplary 2nd house.
His salutary effect on global consciousness is widely acknowledged by other spiritual leaders. His poetry became world-renowned.
Not everything he said was true or perfect of course - especially during his incendiary political years! Nevertheless his displays very good function for L-2, aspects, 2nd-from-Moon, 2nd-navamsha, etc.
Capital as such is not evil; it is its wrong use that is evil.
Capital in some form or other will always be needed.
