Pisces in 2nd House: Money, Magic and Meaning
Personal Wealth
Perhaps you’ve noticed how these people wish for something new, like a job, and then shortly after, it just appears — and sometimes via very unlikely or interesting means! We’re all powerful manifestors as extensions of Source energy, but these individuals are oftentimes exceptionally good and quick at manifesting their desires thanks to their particularly powerful imaginations.
I have a close friend with this placement. She runs an environmentally friendly makeup business which, at present, is doing incredibly well. She’s very imaginative and visualizes in real time what she wants to happen in her life. She avoids thinking about what she doesn’t want to happen. The usual, yet extraordinary, result is that her visualizations often become reality. For example, every night for a couple of months, she pictured her products being stocked by a particular store and it eventually happened — and she didn’t even have to do a thing because they contacted her!
Many of the creative or spiritual ideas these individuals incorporate into their work may be channelled from other realms of existence — and they may not even know it. This is what makes them excellent spiritual figures and intuitives like clairvoyants, mediums, tarot readers, and so on. And indeed, many people with this placement work in spiritual or New Age fields.
Careers in healthcare, holistic health, psychotherapy, the arts or charities may also deeply resonate with them. Regardless of their chosen profession, their approach to work is often colored by a deep sense of purpose and a desire to help and heal others and make a positive difference in our world. Even any investments they make are geared towards helping others or the planet as well as themselves.
Money is more of a means to an end for them rather than something they deeply desire to have so they can show off or live an extravagant lifestyle. These people are among the least likely to get sucked into materialism, although from a spiritual perspective, materialism is just another facet of the human experience.
Physical Belongings
These natives feel an emotional connection of some sort to virtually everything they own. Some of their things tell stories, reflecting the ebb and flow of their lives. From from a treasured assortment of familial keepsakes, to a fascinating collection of artwork or a library brimming with well-thumbed books that have shaped their world view, they adore the things they own. They want their most treasured pieces to stay with them until death.
Their homes reflect their highly imaginative and compassionate natures with spaces designed for meditation, creative projects like painting or gatherings for parties, poetry and book club meetings and so on.
They may also own items that serve as reminders of their dreams (which are frequently vivid and full of feeling), aspirations or spiritual beliefs. For instance, a vision board, a collection of unique crystals, rocks, shells or fossils, a worn out but beloved tarot deck, or a diary filled with heart-felt entries, to name a few. My cousin, who I mentioned earlier, has been using vision boards since she was little and they sure as heck helped her to manifest her dream life over the years!
Concerning larger assets, these people tend to go for investments that align with their ethical and spiritual beliefs. They might be drawn to socially responsible investing like recycling projects, or seek out properties in tranquil, nature-rich settings that provide sanctuary from the chaos of city life.
Stability and Security
Having enough stability and security helps these people navigate life in a more definite, grounded way. You see, stability for them may not include the traditional sense of the word. It may not always translate to routines, schedules, or structures. Instead, it means emotional and spiritual equilibrium. They find consistency and grounding in their spiritual practices and their creative processes rather than having a huge savings sum, and a predictable daily routine.
While they’re under no illusions about the need for economic security, they deeply value emotional and spiritual security. Their intuitive and empathic nature makes them receptive to the energies around them so they strive to create a safe environment at home and at work that allows them to be themselves, and do the things they want to do, unimpeded by anything or anyone. That, for them, equates to true security.
Engaging in activities like meditation, yoga or Reiki often, and making plenty of time for artistic or musical pursuits, serves to provide them with stability amidst the ever-changing and fast pace of life.
Unless there’s a lot of earth or fire in the chart, they may need to work quite a bit on their practical skills in financial management. This includes things like budgeting, financial planning, saving and investing to ensure their ideas and goals are anchored in the realm of practicality, and their economic stability isn’t placed under risk.
Self Esteem and Self Worth
These natives may not always see their worth in traditional terms. They understand that their value doesn’t stem from the external trappings of success but from the deep love and compassion they carry in their hearts.
Self-doubt may occur here because they can be idealistic and sensitive. And they often feel down when it becomes clear they can’t meet their own high standards or get bogged down by the heavy energy of other people.
Their sense of self-worth is quite different to other second house placements with the exception of Cancer. It lies in their capacity to love, to empathize, to have powerful dreams, and to achieve lofty goals. Here are the poets, musicians, writers, dancers, singers, and artists of the zodiac. And if they haven’t already, once they learn to navigate their oceanic depths, they recognize their self worth in full.
Personal Values and Ethics
Their personal values are interwoven with a profound sensitivity towards those who’ve been mistreated or misunderstood. Their hearts go out to people and animals in need and their values are shaped by a desire to heal, nurture, and uplift.
They feel that they should always act in an ethical manner. They believe in karma and understand that it’s important for them to do right by others — not only for others but also for themselves. Luckily, being good and decent isn’t difficult for many of these people — they feel compelled to be those things and more. They don’t have to force or fake it.
Skills and Talents
Many of the skills and talents they possess have an emotional or spiritual dimension to them. Pisces is known for its sensitivity, compassion, creativity and powerful imagination. This makes those with this sign on the cusp of the 2nd skilled at understanding and helping others, as well as dreaming up amazing goals and projects. But as I’ve mentioned before, they can be a bit too dreamy and idealistic, so they should always make sure their goals are actually achievable. As long as they are, they can achieve a great, great deal with their brilliant imaginations.
Their innate ability to understand human emotion makes them natural healers, be it in a formal setting as a doctor or nurse, or as an energy healer of some kind. Or perhaps just in their day to day lives as caring friends, stay at home parents, grandparents, and so on.
They’re also highly skilled in the arts. Be it as a musician, singer, lyricist, ballet dancer, writer, graphic designer or whatever other field they choose to work in, they are likely to produce work that touches and inspires others in some way.
Dominant Element
Your dominant element can serve as a fascinating and useful guide to your personality traits and overall journey through life. The elements below are combined with Pisces in the 2nd.
Fire Dominant
The fire that burns within these individuals helps to fuel their dreams, set ambitious goals, compels them to take action each day, and ignites their desire to create, succeed, and lead. Simultaneously, the soothing Piscean energy lends compassion, understanding, and introspection. Combining these energies can make for a naturally determined, powerful and successful, yet reflective and considerate leader.
Their fiery nature urges them to set big goals and they have the determination and imagination required to turn those goals into reality. And they’re rather different to many other people on Earth right now because they also understand that their true worth stems not only from their multiple achievements but also from their remarkable ability to understand and tolerate others.
In terms of finances, a new job or investment may be undertaken too quickly. Something new and promising has the ability to pique their interest for a while but this interest may not last long and only then will it become apparent if it was a sensible opportunity or not. So, ideally, they should guard against jumping into things without a thorough evaluation of the pros and cons first!
Possessions, both large and small, are dearly loved by these people and they can hold onto them forever if they have a lot of sentimental value. They feel fiercely protective of them and may not readily share the memories and feelings they evoke with just anyone.
Earth Dominant
Although they are very well aware of their earthly duties and are grounded and hardworking, they are still very much connected to their emotions, vivid imaginings, and dreams.
Fire dominant types are at risk of burning out by trying to quickly achieve their biggest goals ASAP if they don’t temper their insatiable energy. But, earth dominant types make careful and consistent progress with sensible plans. These people are the powerful architects of intangible Piscean dreams and visions; the people who literally make dreams come true.
Their values and ethics blend practical wisdom and intuitive understanding. Grounded in the realities of life, they understand the importance of hard work, persistence and material security. Yes, their Piscean values are very different and include empathy, kindness and spiritual truths, but they find ways for them to blend and work — they have to otherwise they’ll become lost in their dreams.
In their world, material gains and spiritual riches are not at odds with one another but instead, just parts of a harmonious whole. And those who are able to express the higher traits associated with earth energy and Pisces energy will carve out a life that is as rich in material comfort as it is in emotional and spiritual depth.
Air Dominant
These individuals are both thought-provoking and deeply intuitive. Earlier, I mentioned my friend who runs a cosmetics business. Her birth chart is air dominant, mainly owing to the large amount of Aquarius and Libra energy in it. She seamlessly blends logic, emotion and intuition to create fabulous, environmentally friendly products. She also provides a warm and welcoming work environment for her staff.
This combination lends an agile mind, a curious spirit and a dynamic outlook. They are thinkers, communicators, and seekers of wisdom and knowledge. And Pisces, sitting on the cusp of this house, injects emotional depth, creativity, and spiritual awareness to their ever expanding intellectual core. It’s a truly blessed combination of energies in my opinion.
They are also talented communicators. They easily articulate their thoughts, visions, dreams, and feelings remarkably well and oftentimes with great speed! They easily and gracefully bridge the gap between emotional and the intellectual worlds which is particularly useful at work, no matter what their field is.
When it comes to investments, they might look to more cerebral opportunities that also have some kind of spiritual or ethical angle to them. Whatever investment or career they choose, they must view as both ethical and interesting otherwise it will only be a matter of time before they drop it.
Water Dominant
Water energy provides these people with a strong ability to empathize with others, and they are naturally intrigued by, and drawn to, spiritual matters. When mixed with Pisces in this house, these traits become amplified. So, these individuals are highly in tune with both their own feelings and spirituality, as well as those of others.
Their most prominent skills and talents centre around understanding people and caring about them and their wellbeing. Typically, they are talented in healing professions, whether that is a traditional profession (like a counsellor or medical doctor) or an alternative one (like a Reiki healer or hypnotherapist).
As we continue to progress in the age of Aquarius, we’re seeing alternative therapies becoming more and more widespread and accepted. So, in the coming years and decades, more people, especially young people, will feel more able to pursue alternative healing careers without the judgement and prejudice that was attached to them in previous times.
Water signs, especially Scorpio, will want to analyze a new job, course, investment or project from every angle before taking the leap. The only danger is that decisions can be too slowly made. Sometimes this also means that opportunities get missed due to over-thinking and over-analyzing. They would do well, at least in my opinion, to weigh up the pros and cons of any financial move and then go for it to avoid getting bogged down by too much thinking and subsequently losing out.
In terms of material possessions large and small, water types form deep emotional attachments to the things they love. They’ll guard them and keep them close by. They’re very unlikely to share how they really feel about them. Their self protection is very powerful and they won’t want to risk being made fun of for how they feel. Generally, they dislike unemotional folk and steer clear of them — rightly so, too!
