Sun in Sagittarius in the Second House

Ruled by Jupiter, planet of fortune, with your Sun in Sagittarius you appear to breeze through life. You are Lady Luck’s companion who seems always to be in the right place at the right time. In work, friendships, career, and money – a door opens just when you need it. Naturally, this makes for a cheerful and ebullient disposition. You have your dark moments, but clouds roll over quickly. You are too interested in what is going to happen tomorrow to fret long about what went wrong today. You are always sure that around the next bend of the road something wonderful is about to happen.

Having your Sun in Sagittarius, you are hard to pin down emotionally. You don’t want to get bogged down in messy entanglements or anything that ties you down. You’ve got places to go and you’re not about to sign up for anything that keeps you in one spot. The way to stay unfettered is to shy away from emotion. Individuals with their Sun in Sagittarius rarely talk about their feelings – they talk about what they think about their feelings. Time and again Sagittarians are bewildered when their romantic partners ask for more passion and feeling. Because you keep one eye on the exit door and don’t welcome enduring, profound relationships, sooner or later, you’ll unknot the tie that binds.

With your Sun in Sagittarius, you are kind, openhearted, jovial, completely free of malice, you are always doing favors for others. Your way of helping doesn’t put the recipient under heavy obligation. “No strings” is a guiding Sagittarian motto. Freedom is your most valuable possession. If it comes to a choice you’ll take a difficult path, accept less money, dispense with security, do anything as long as you have to answer only to yourself. Your passion for liberty underlies all your other qualities. Prizing it as you do, you also willingly grant it to others. You don’t meddle in other people’s plans or interfere with what they think best for themselves, and you aren’t possessive or jealous.

For the Sun in Sagittarius individual, to be restricted or feel your choices are diminished is very depressing for you. You tend not to look at life as it is but as you want it to be. In many ways, you rebel against being a grownup. Certainly, you know how to take on responsibility and you’ve proven yourself strong in the face of setback. Crisis brings out the best in you. You have grand and wonderful ideas for an adventurous career or carving out a utopian life or helping the world become a better place. Then you procrastinate, let others deal with the details, lose interest in a plan – and wonder why you’re stuck in the same place.

The Inner You with your Sun in Sagittarius

With your Sun in Sagittarius, your motto is, “Tomorrow is another day.” Even in your darkest moods, you believe there’s a light shining around the corner. Your confidence in the future is genuine, but you hate anything interfering with your plans. You have a hunger to experience life to its fullest—to travel, meet interesting people, and see things you’ve never seen before. As an individual with your Sun in Sagittarius, anything new sparks your interest. In fact, you’ll usually say yes to a suggestion without weighing its merits simply because it lifts your spirits. And while you’re not exactly a moody person, you are high-strung and can become irritable when you start to get bored. You may think no one cares about you or understands you when you’re feeling this way, but luckily your belief that you’re someone special always sees you through.

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.
