Taurus in 2nd House: Rooted in Riches

Personal Wealth

Taurus is an earth sign and as such, it’s concerned with earthly matters like money, work, family, popularity and appearances. These natives feel compelled to achieve complete security and stability in life because many start out feeling quite insecure in this rather bewildering and oftentimes, harsh, world. 

While some Taurean dominant people can be rather vain and enjoy letting others know how successful and cultured they are, Taurus in the second house natives mainly desire to become successful in order to achieve stability and security rather than for any other reason.

As kids, they may have seen the harrowing financial hardships faced by various adults including, perhaps, their parents and vowed to achieve security as adults themselves so as to never be exposed to the same financial and emotional challenges.

Bearing that in mind, incessantly beating the competition, driving the latest sports car or being the most attractive aren’t necessarily things that are overwhelmingly concerning to them. Although it must be said that Taurus knows how to live and definitely relishes the finer things in life.

Exclusive holidays, beautiful homes, fine dining, expensive jewellery, and original art work are things they desire to own, but again, this is primarily to add to their sense of material security as well as for their own personal enjoyment. 

Physical Belongings 

Not everything Taurean types like has to be luxurious. Simple create comforts like family heirlooms, good books, comfortable surroundings and sweet things like vintage figurines and pretty trinkets hold great appeal. Virtually all of their material possessions, however meagre or dull they might appear to others, can add to the feeing of security these natives crave. For example, a shelf bustling with vibrant plants, elegantly framed photos of loved ones, and souvenirs from cherished holidays bolster their sense of security and fill their hearts with joy.

If Gemini is in the 3rd house, which it often is when Taurus is here, they enjoy talking about their family and their fondest memories with them quite often, as well as other people, places and events. In fact, they might talk a little too much about them!

Stability and Security 

As previously discussed, when Taurus is here, Taurean matters of material security and emotional stability become amplified. While those with Aries in the 2nd desire an action filled job and spend money more freely, these people need a high income and a happy family around them in order to feel protected, safe, and balanced.

Having a job that is as reliable, predictable and dependable as possible is what would help them to achieve financial security although things can and do change. Being adaptable would really help them to avoid too much struggle in the event of any sudden changes. 

Self Worth 

Typically, these natives have a grounded outlook on life. Their self esteem is healthy, especially as they grow older and they feel particularly good when they’ve created a comfortable home and life for themselves. Their self esteem is however linked to their net worth and they can become surprisingly aggressive if they feel it’s being threatened in any way.

As mentioned before, these natives are principally motivated by creating security and stability for themselves and their loved ones and their happiness. They need to feel that they’re taking care of themselves and their loved ones in order to feel satisfied and content. 

Personal Values and Ethics 

I know someone with this placement who also has a Taurus Sun sign and Taurus Moon sign. As charming, gentle, and kind as he is, he clearly values wealth and success a great deal. He even told me plainly once. It was a bit embarrassing to listen to but I’m glad he felt he could be so candid with me. Personally, I find this mentality a little uncomfortable to be around for too long because as necessary as money is, material wealth is ephemeral. It can be quickly lost and it only lasts as long as you do and in the grand scheme of things, that isn’t very long at all!

So, perhaps these natives can be challenged to enjoy the company of a wide variety of people from all walks of life, no matter their background, vocation or financial circumstances. They could find that they have much to learn from diversifying their company and be surprised by the knowledge and wisdom they might glean from their conversations. 

This isn’t to say that all those with this placement are preoccupied with the material world and achieving dizzying heights of success. Many are perfectly down-to-earth, mature, and soft-hearted. Some find bliss in nothing more than a fresh cup of coffee and a friendly chat in a beautifully kept garden. And they wouldn’t find much enjoyment in harshly judging others, especially those less fortunate than them.

Skills and Talents

Productive and serious at work, they move methodically through their schedule. They keep time well and are rarely late or missing for their appointments and meetings. 

Money generally flows well and consistently for those with this placement. They’re highly skilled at keeping what they earn. They can work with shoestring budgets if need be. They might come from old money or be given a job by a family member or friend of the family from a relatively young age.

Business ideas are also abundant here and they have the tenacity and focus necessary to bring them to fruition. However they earn an income, they never seem to be short of money or ideas about how to make more of it.

Their home is kept in good order, even if it’s a little bit cluttered with various sentimental objects. They might also run it in business-like way, especially if the home is particularly large or perhaps run a business from it.

Dominant Element

Understanding the element that dominates your chart can provide interesting and helpful information about your character and overall life path. 

Fire Dominant

With fire as the dominant element, competing to win will run strongly through their veins, especially if Aries is among the dominant signs. 

Winning makes them feel they’re making definite and speedy success in life and adds to the feeling of security. Time is also important to them. They hate to waste it as see it as one of their most valuable resources.

They think that if they can win again and again, they will always be financially safe because they will always be the most capable. They believe that this life is an exercise in the survival of the fittest so you better get with the program and know how to dominate the competition. 

Family is important to them and they are fiercely protective and perhaps even possessive over them, especially if Leo is among the dominant signs. 

They are not quite as sentimental as those who are water or earth dominant but enjoy their time with their loved ones. They prefer to hold onto memories of good times together instead of keeping a plethora of sentimental items. 

Earth Dominant

There is a strong focus on work, duty, and the creation and maintenance of the home and finances. Their financial acumen is superb and they

Their work ethic is typically very strong, so strong in fact, that they are able to remain in the same job no matter how unsatisfactory it may be simply to continue earning a decent income and maintain a sense of continuity. 

However, say that, considering we are now well into the Age of Aquarius, people are no longer hugely content with settling for less than they think they’re worth and happy to jump ship to a more rewarding position.

Earthly matters such as the home, family, career, networking, and social standing are of great importance to them. And while it’s important for them to enjoy their lives and have fun, they usually aim to not spend too much doing so. 

Naturally skilled at budgeting, most things tend to be planned well in advance, including their vacations, parties and other activities so they can monitor and predict how much of their time and money will be used. This is especially true if Virgo is one of their dominant signs. 

Air Dominant

Air dominant types becomes restless and are easily bored if they aren’t really enjoying their work but worry too much about changing careers and try to avoid anything that throws their financials off balance. 

With this combination, however, they tend to have a bit more patience and resilience in positions that are not ideal. Although they will eventually find something new. 

They are prone to over overanalysing and become a little stuck when they are nervous or contemplating their next big move in life such as a new job, new home, or new serious relationship.

Their business ideas may be a but unrealistic or idealistic but Taurus tames that tendency and acts as a sort of filter to ensure that only the most pragmatic ideas ever get a chance to develop. 

With this placement, they are more open to discussing their net worth, possessions, and income unless Aquarius, which is a private sign, is a dominant sign. 

Water Dominant

Sentimentality is potent with this combination. Home and family take priority above all else, especially if Cancer is a dominant sign. The members of the household are quite traditional and the home is run like a business.

If Scorpio is among the dominant signs, they may be very secretive about how much money they have and possessive over their finances and assets. Asking them how much they earn or how much their home is worth may be quite offensive to them. 

Whatever water signs are dominant within their birth chart, they are prudent and cautious with their money and material possessions. They enjoy working with the tightest of budgets are are naturally skilled at making their money go far. 

This combination is also indicative of a sentimental type. Family heirlooms and items that inspire good memories and thoughts are placed around the home and throughly cherished.
