Sun in Gemini in the Second House

Individual with their Sun in Gemini are many-sided, quick in thought and action, clever with words, skillful at handling others, and brimming with new ideas. Astrologers regard this third sign of the zodiac as the quintessentially human sign, for it seems to sum up qualities that are the distinguishing hallmarks of the human race—intelligence (Gemini is an air sign), adaptability (Gemini is a mutable sign), and communicativeness (Gemini is ruled by Mercury). Sun in Gemini individuals do not sit back and watch the scenery go by. Having a Sun in Gemini, you are endlessly curious about everything and must be part of the busy passing scene.

With your Sun in Gemini, duality is your most famous trait. You usually want more than one of everything. That includes jobs, hobbies, careers, and lovers. Basically, your nature is restless, on the go, in quest of new ideas and fresh experiences. Things get very dull for you unless you have a constant change of scenery. Gemini is the sign of communication, and its natives have an urgent and continual need to communicate.

As an individual with your Sun in Gemini, you’re a perpetual student of life who never stops asking questions. You love to talk to people, and this is the great secret of your charm. Others open to you like flowers. As a result, you’re a marvelous people manager who can rev up enthusiasm and loyalty.

Having your Sun in Gemini, your quick mind can explain any action, defend any position, and justify any course. A mental busybody, you pick up information here, gossip there, tidbits everywhere. This makes you an ideal conversationalist, for you know a little about everything, though, some have said, not a lot about anything. You also are inclined to have firm opinions on everything (subject to revision at a moment’s notice). What you value most is intellectual independence, and what you lack most is perseverance.

With your Sun in Gemini, you are amusing, versatile and witty, you are a wonderful friend who lifts people out of their gloom. Does someone need advice? Instruction? An introduction? You’re right there, ready to jump in, and others are energized by your enthusiasm. It’s easy to see why you are usually surrounded by friends and admirers because you’re such fun to be with. True, you can be impatient with persons who aren’t as quick as you are, or who can’t keep up with the rapid flow of your thought and speech. However, your natural exuberance sweeps even the most reluctant and surly along with you. Having your Sun in Gemini, in almost any situation you can be as charming as you want to be—with a little extra thrown in.

The Inner You with your Sun in Gemini

Having your Sun in Gemini, you react instantly to new situations, but because you’re so keenly attuned to your environment, you tend to have a nervous temperament. And though you give off sparks of energy, excitement, and charm, inside you feel like a wound-up spring. Others are fascinated by your enthusiasm while inwardly you’re already bored with this person or that project. In your relationships, you’re very giving, but you also need time for yourself. Your Sun in Gemini makes you generous with your time, friendship, and possessions.

The sign position of the Sun indicates how we seek to express ourselves, develop ourselves, fulfill ourselves, and assert our will and power to shape our environment. The house position indicates the area of life in which we choose to focus the energy of our Sun sign and fulfill the purpose which it represents.

Sun in the 2nd House

The Sun in the 2nd House generally is a dependent position for the Sun.  This is because you will tend to derive your identity from what you possess, from your resources and from what you value. Most people have been conditioned to value certain things and, if this is true for you, then your identity will be conditioned. With the Sun in the 2nd House, the degree to which your identity is dependent on the possessions you have is related to the degree to which you hold materialistic values. If you value things, your identity will be determined by the things you possess. If you value certain characteristics and qualities, your identity will be determined by those characteristics you cultivate. If, on the other hand, you value virtue or spirituality, then you will identify yourself as a person concerned with these things.

Having your Sun in the 2nd House, an issue that you are likely to face, particularly early in life, is determining what it is that you value. If you never address this issue, then the super-ego and societal conditioning are likely to make this determination for you. This will most likely result in you placing high worth on material acquisitions, because that is what society conditions us to value. The more you determine your own values, autonomously, the less conditioned your identity will be.

Another concern suggested by having the Sun in the 2nd House is what resources are available to you. You may feel dependent on having resources at your disposal. Your access to resources, or lack thereof, is likely to affect your sense of security. Feeling secure, particularly from a physical and material stand-point, is fundamental to you feeling good about yourself. Often, this sense of security is necessary for you to be able to turn your attention to anything else. Once established, however, this material security and knowing that you possess sufficient resources generally allows you to develop a strong self-identity and a great deal of self-confidence.

Insecurities

With your Sun in the 2nd House, when you define your worth by what you have, you never have enough and, therefore, you never feel adequate or worthy. Inwardly, you know that all your possessions and resources are liable to be lost, leaving you without support and without self-definition. Thus, you can never be secure within yourself. This inner insecurity drives you relentlessly to acquire more and more possessions in your attempt to feel self-worth. Even if you ostensibly feel proud of your possessions and resources, your hunger for more belies your inner insecurity and fear that you may lose all.

As an individual with the Sun in the 2nd House, you are likely to identify with what you have. This is usually material, but it may be nonmaterial also. For instance, if you identify with your value system, you feel that you are what you value. Most people with Sun in the 2nd House, however, will take their identity from what and how much they possess. If you possess much, you are likely to hold yourself in high esteem. If you possess little, you may suffer from lack of self-esteem. One defense against low self-esteem is to value what you have, whether it is great or little, because the more you consider that your possessions are valuable, the more self-worth you experience.  If you suffer a loss of your possessions, it is likely to be a particularly hard blow because this loss strikes at your very identity and self-worth. When you measure yourself by how much you have lost or gained, then the Sun in the 2nd House placement is a particularly weak and dependent astrological position. However, when you have defined your own values and risen above society’s materialistic conditioning, a 2nd House Sun can indicate a strong identity grounded in a sure conviction of what is valuable in life.
