Moon in Libra in the Second House

Libra is the sign of esthetic perceptions, and here the Moon’s romantic, glamorous influence is accentuated. If you have your Moon in Libra you have a keen appreciation for beauty and art, and an artistic eye unmatched by any other Moon sign. You also have a heightened awareness of your environment and of other people. However, what you truly value are those experiences that make life more beautiful and pleasing. You abhor coarseness, vulgarity, or strife. With your Moon in Libra, your immediate reaction to anything unpleasant is to deny it, or, if that is impossible, at least to put it in its best possible light. You try to surround yourself with comfort and lovely objects in a tranquil and luxurious environment.

As an individual with your Moon in Libra, because you enjoy beautiful things, you are happy to spend your (and sometimes other people’s) money on possessions that catch your fancy. You are the kind who will walk into a shop and instantly spot the perfect thing to go with what you have in a closet at home. With your Moon in Libra, the presentation and ritual surrounding a thing is as important to you as the thing itself. A meal served on fine china and crystal with embroidered linens, flowers, and candles on the table is as important as the taste of the food itself.

The Moon in the balanced sign of Libra endows you with an open, independent mind that tries to evaluate the world dispassionately and rationally. A Moon in Libra also confers great personal charm and enhances the ability to get along with people. You are marvelous at understanding the other person’s point of view (though you never lose sight of your own self-interest). For the most part, with a Moon in Libra, you are pleasing and easy to live with and have a genial disposition.

Libra is the astrological sign of partnership, and with your Moon in Libra you function well in a relationship. Very often your destiny is tied up with a strong and influential person with whom you form a connection early in life. To a large extent, what you accomplish depends on other people.

Having your Moon in Libra, essentially you love with your head rather than your heart. There is something a bit calculated about your carefully balanced emotional nature. To become your lover, a person has to possess certain qualities, such as good looks and elegant social manners. It is not that you are unemotional, but love is more an esthetic pleasure than steamy passion. You try to create something beautiful – fanciful if need be – from every intimacy. With your Moon in Libra, you may go through a number of affairs and marriages before you finally settle down with someone with whom you are mentally compatible (more necessary to you than sexual compatibility). When you are in a contented marriage, it is a source of great satisfaction to you because it answers your need for security and reassurance, and you truly enjoy sharing.

The sign position of the Moon describes how we habitually respond to other people and to the circumstances of our lives, as well as how we experience our emotions and seek emotional fulfillment. Its house position corresponds to the area of life in which we operate most unconsciously, according to past patterns and instinctive responses.

Moon in the 2nd House:

Generally, having the Moon in the 2nd House is a conducive placement for the Moon, if your emotional attachment to your possessions and resources does not become excessive. If you are emotionally healthy, you are likely to enjoy a sense of security and well-being. This, in turn, may provide you with the emotional stability and grounding that can allow you to better acquire, manage and enjoy your resources and possessions.

Having your Moon in the 2nd House, assuming emotional stability, you are likely to have a “down-to- earth” attitude toward material resources. Your attitude toward the material dimensions of life is likely to have been conditioned by your family background and up- bringing. Therefore, your attitude toward possessions and material security is likely to be that which most people in society share.

With your Moon in the 2nd House, you also place too much emotional weight on your possessions, resources and material condition. You may be emotionally attached to your possessions. You may also have a very emotional response when your material security is threatened (or unexpectedly enhanced). The Moon in the 2nd House placement also suggests that you may place a great deal of value on your emotional life, as well as on family, domestic life and/or your heritage.

Insecurities

As an individual with your Moon in the 2nd House, if you are inwardly insecure, you will be extremely attached to your possessions, fearing their loss and feeling that you could not live without them. With your Moon in the 2nd House, your emotional state is effectively determined by what you feel you have. You derive your sense of security from retaining what you have. This leaves you vulnerable for riding an emotional roller-coaster if your material fortunes are threatened or unstable.  Your responses and behavior are totally conditioned to react to your material circumstances.

Focus of Emotional Development

With your Moon in the 2nd House, what you value is likely to play a major role in your emotional development.  If you value material objects solely, then your emotional development will focus on your reaction to your material circumstances and, secondarily, on how others affect those circumstances. If you view your emotional capacity as a resource, you are likely to place a lot of energy into developing that resource.

As an individual with your Moon in the 2nd House, the value that you place on your emotions is likely to result in you cultivating your emotional health. If your values are more abstract, or if you are searching for what you value in life, your emotions may play a role in enabling that search. As your search for ultimate value progresses, you grow in emotional complexity and richness and you become more aware of what is of real value in the world.
