Results of Weak 2nd House

The second house represents our possessions and if manage our finances or savings efficiently then small savings can be converted into treasure. If the planets posited in the second house are inimical with the sign lord, then it can have a negative impact on your finances, family, and even your speech can create difficulties in your life.

If the second lord is related to the 6th house then it can add debt or loans in your finances. But loans are considered part of lifestyle these days. Also since the 6th house is the Upachaya house so you will get benefits in the later phase of life. If related to the 8th house then money can be blocked, and relation with the 12th house can give losses.

If there are inimical planets, a Greh Yudh, debilitated planets, or malefic planets in the second house, like Rahu and Saturn, then apart from ruined finances and family resources you might consume food or utter such a way, that it will make your life obstructed. And wrong food intake includes alcohol, tobacco, smoking, and drugs. Negative words and even abusive language is the effect of a weak second house.

Results of Strong 2nd House

The second house gives amazing results if there is a Rajyoga formed with 11th house. If there are exalted planets posited here, friendly planets with the sign, or even if the second lord is posited in Kendra or Trikona. Then the person will be benefitted by supporting family, and huge bank balance.

The malefic planets posited in the second house, can give you materialistic gains, or Nirjeev Sukh but you will have to face disappointment in attaining Jeev Sukh like a relationship with the family. The bad tongue here becomes the prime reason for ruining relations with the family.

But financially, the malefic planets like Saturn and Rahu can give you good bank balance, and profitable investments. So a single planet cannot give the complete picture of your second house life events. Therefore you have to analyze the complete horoscope and related divisional charts to describe any life event.
