The second house governs wealth held, speech, food, and the family one is born into
See where Second House falls in your birth chart — the sign, house and nakṣatra it occupies.
The second house governs wealth held, speech, food, and the family one is born into. It shows what a person accumulates and how they express themselves in words.
Parashara assigns to the dhana bhava wealth, grains, family, speech, the face and eyes, and truthfulness. A maraka (killer) house in longevity work, its benefic occupation and a strong lord indicate accumulated riches and sweet speech; affliction shows loss of wealth and harshness of tongue.
