Moon in Pisces in the Second House

In the Moon in Pisces placement, Pisces and the Moon have a natural affinity; Pisces is the sign of depths of emotion, and the Moon represents your instinctive emotional reactions and sometimes your hidden dreams. Pisces is also the astrological sign of sorrow and self-undoing. If you have the Moon in Pisces you have deep feelings and an innate understanding of the human condition.

A peculiar danger for anyone with their Moon in Pisces is that the impressions received from the outside world will not accurately reflect the world as it is. Instead, they are filtered through an intense romanticism. With your Moon in Pisces, your instant reaction to stimuli is to interpret things as you would like them to be rather than as they are. You wear the reality distorting glasses of the incurable optimist, the dreamer, the poet.

Having your Moon in Pisces, your romantic emotionalism is not always apparent on the surface, for you try to keep this part of your nature well hidden. However, even the most pragmatic person with a Moon in Pisces feels the need to escape into a world of private imagination.

As a Moon in Pisces, you are artistic and have a keen love for beauty and the arts. Many Moon in Pisces individuals have a flair for acting, writing, composing, or painting. Gifted with vision and imagination, you express yourself well in creative areas. It is through the senses and emotions rather than the intellect that you perceive things. With your Moon in Pisces, you are extraordinarily intuitive and sometimes are gifted with psychic vision; you seem able to strip away the veil that separates the real world from the spiritual world, and to know things that others cannot comprehend.

As an individual with your Moon in Pisces, in the real world, unfortunately, you do not always have an easy time. You tend to let your emotions get the better of you. Though you seem confident and completely in charge (especially if your Sun is in a fire sign [Aries, Leo, Sagittarius]), you have a weakness for letting those with strong wills and definite opinions lead you onto unsuitable paths.

With your Moon in Pisces, although you can work tirelessly and unselfishly for others, you find it hard to be strict and disciplined with yourself. Having to make final decisions causes you conflict and anxiety. There is a strong tendency to escape harsh realities and obligations. Having your Moon in Pisces, sometimes you are perceived as gullible, but it is only your emotional nature that makes you appear that way. You are easy prey for unprincipled types who play on your tender feelings. It is an axiom in astrology that Moon in Pisces individuals are born under a special vibration that impels them to befriend humanity. Indeed, it is through helping others that you liberate yourself.

In love, as in the rest of your life, you prefer the illusion to the reality. It is the wild passion, the feeling of being swept away, that you desire. Having your Moon in Pisces, your most favorite life moments are when you feel the euphoria of love enveloping your entire being. You are a romance addict, and many Moon in Pisces individuals who drift from affair to affair keep wanting to experience the fabled glow of love as a form of psychological escapism.

Having your Moon in Pisces, you are a romantic who will do everything you can to make a mate happy. It is your nature to do this, even if you do not get an equivalent return from the other person. At the same time, you feel vulnerable and dependent and build up an elaborate array of defenses to avoid being hurt. However, once you get past playing the role of the victim, you are able to sustain a truly joyful relationship of honesty and depth.

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.
