Saturn in the 2nd House or Taurus: Natal Chart
Understanding the Placement
Saturn, the taskmaster of the zodiac, in the 2nd house, the house of personal resources, often indicates a life lesson around the management of resources, both tangible and intangible.
This placement can lead to a serious, disciplined approach toward finances and possessions. It may also signify a struggle with self-worth and value.
It is one of the most difficult placements for Saturn if we are talking about life on planet Earth. The main reason is that 2nd house is so much tied to our material well-being, and Saturn does not make it easy.
Practical Implications
- Financial Discipline.
- Individuals with this placement often have a conservative approach to finances. They may prefer saving over spending and may take time to build their financial stability.
- The negative side here is the extreme lack of resources or money. This can be a constant “not enough” in a person’s life.
- The native can also be “stingy” with money. Or constantly afraid that they won’t have enough money.
- Self-Worth.
- These individuals may struggle with self-esteem issues, often tying their worth to their material possessions. It’s crucial for them to understand that self-worth is intrinsic and not dependent on external factors.
- They need to look to their family and family’s history for the origins of this low worth.
- Delayed Gratification.
- Saturn in the 2nd house can indicate a tendency for delayed gratification. These individuals may find that their efforts take longer to bear fruit, but the results are often long-lasting.
- Material possessions.
- There can be a lack or limitation of some sort when it comes to material things in the native’s life.
- The pattern often comes from the family – the family has a minimalistic or “stingy” approach to possessions. And even purchasing them.
- Possessions of the person can always be old and even worn down. They always go towards second-hand things.
- Investing.
- The individual can be scared to invest money and resources into things. There’s a deeper dear underneath. Again, this almost always has to do with the family or family history.
- Problems and issues with the throat.
- These can be nagging issues with the throat (medical and health problems).
- Or it can be that the person has a tough time discovering their voice.
- They can even think that their voice is “bad” or ugly.
- A general fear of sharing their voice.
- Lack of enjoyment in life.
- The native doesn’t allow themselves to enjoy the finer things in life.
- Or there can be a general lack of these “good” things.
Tips for Navigating this Placement
- Practice financial planning and budgeting.
- This can help in managing resources effectively and building financial stability.
- Finances and money need to be well organized and structured.
- Invest only in tried and true things. No fancy new investment vehicles. Bonds, real estate, ETFs, antiques, and savings accounts. Nothing risky!!! The lower the risk here – the better.
- Engage in activities that boost self-esteem.
- This could be anything from pursuing a hobby to personal development workshops.
- Gather mastery and skills that are valued in the marketplace. This will boost self-worth and confidence.
- Patience is key.
- Understand that good things often take time, and your efforts will eventually pay off.
- Money can come later in life but only if You take the time to master it. You have to work slowly in the material realm.
- Enjoy in moderation.
- Practice the art of enjoyment gradually. Don’t go overboard or into extremes. Find the balance between “stinginess” and pleasure-filled life.
- Quality over quantity.
- Find good quality items that are sturdy and can stand the test of time. Invest in them and buy these types of items or material goods.
Saturn in the 2nd House or Taurus: Transit
During its transit through the 2nd house, Saturn brings its lessons to the forefront. This period can be a time of financial restructuring and re-evaluation of self-worth.
This period, which lasts approximately 2.5 years and happens every 28.5-30 years must be faced head-on!
Practical Implications
- Financial Restructuring.
- This transit can bring about changes in financial circumstances, prompting a need for restructuring finances.
- This can mean a time when the person has to be quite minimalistic in their spending.
- A lot of budgeting and mastering of resources can happen. The point here is to become a good manager with money.
- At the end of this period, the native can be “a financial pro” and knows exactly what to do with their material resources.
- Fear of losing money is constantly prevalent. Or even a fear of the potential lack of resources.
- Re-evaluation of Self-Worth.
- This transit can trigger a period of introspection, leading to a re-evaluation of self-worth and personal values.
- A lot of building skills that are needed in the marketplace is a good “remedy.”
- In extreme cases the individual can go into despair “I’m not worth anything.”
Tips for Navigating this Transit
- Take a practical approach.
- If You see something that needs changing and organizing – do it!
- Putting Your head under the sand doesn’t do You any favors with Saturn!
- Be open to change.
- This transit can bring about unexpected changes, and being flexible can help in navigating these changes.
- Use this period for introspection.
- Reflect on your values and beliefs, and make changes if needed.
- Budgeting routine.
- If You haven’t implemented it already – it’s time to do so when Saturn enters Your 2nd house. I personally had to do it when Saturn entered my 2nd house in my twenties. This routine is still serving me to this day!
- In general, take better control and organize Your finances. Even if there aren’t any scary things happening. Learn about how money moves and how to better place it in Your life.
- Learning about capitalism and its history.
- This is one of my favorites. And will help You understand the system where we live much better. In that way, You can create more resources in the future.
