Part of Fortune in 2nd House: Effortless Abundance

Those with Part of Fortune in the 2nd house may find that their greatest fulfilment in life is brought about through 2nd house themes like hobbies, talents, skills and investments.

What is Part of Fortune in Astrology?

Often referred to as the “pot-of-gold” in the birth chart, the Part of Fortune suggests where we are likely to discover true happiness. Of course, success is subjective and what may bring one person joy and fulfilment may not have the same effect on another. It’s by no means a sort of mystical key to help each of of us access tremendous wealth. Rather, it indicates the things that are most likely help us feel fulfilled, stable and happy.

It’s a mathematical point in the birth chart which involves the Sun, Moon and Ascendant. If you don’t have your exact time of birth, you sadly won’t be able to accurately calculate it. It’s a Hermetic lot (Arabic part) and therefore rarely included in chart readings carried out by Western astrologers. It’s also infrequently taught in astrology courses and you won’t find much on it in astrology books.

Something interesting to note about this part is that we grow into it. And along the way, there may be some bumps, so to speak, in the road, with some people experiencing challenges in the areas associated with the sign and house it’s in. However, once adulthood is reached, people start reaping the benefits associated with it.

Natural Attraction of Abundance

Among various designations, the 2nd house is commonly referred to as the “House of Finances”. People therefore often assume that those with this placement are destined for great wealth, but this isn’t always the case. Not everyone with this placement wins a lottery jackpot or bags a job as CEO of a Fortune 500 company. To many people, abundance means being consistently supported, especially during difficult times.

Of course, statically, some people with this placement, will win large sum of money in lotteries, competitions, and so on. In such cases this could be down to what the stars were doing at the time, or it could be something their Soul planned to experience in this lifetime before birth. If you subscribe to the fundamental tenants of New Age spirituality, the Law of Attraction also plays a significant role in manifesting wealth. They must have believed completely that they were going to win, and so, they won.

Some people with this placement could also have been told that they were destined to be successful. By embracing this belief, especially during their young, impressionable years, they could have drawn prosperity into their lives because they expected it.

An Early Interest in Generating Wealth

From a young age, these natives were probably interested in making money. When I was growing up — around the time of the dot com boom — everyone my age was getting computers (PCs with CRT monitors). We grew up glued to our computers and some of us had already learned how to make money online by the time we were in our late teens, for example, with simple affiliate websites. Although most of the people I knew didn’t make huge amounts of money, many learned the ropes of website creation and online marketing. Today, one friend of mine with this placement runs a lucrative online business as a blogger and social media star.

In other cases, these people may have studied for their exams from an early age because they had their sights set on entering a competitive, high paying career. They could have been quite intense about their academic progress and stressed a lot around the time of their exams but consistently achieved top grades.

This placement also hints at success in self-employment. In their younger years, these natives may have dreamed of running their own business. They could have started one when they were young which taught them invaluable lessons. These lessons, absorbed during their initial entrepreneurial venture, were likely applied judiciously to their subsequent ventures when they were older and wiser and they found greater success as a result.

Financial Stability

Somehow, they just seem fortunate when it comes to money. They may have someone, like a partner or parent, support them financially whenever it’s necessary. They could also have wealthy friends and colleagues who are always willing to help them reach their potential.

Investing in beautiful and or valuable items is something they find very interesting. This placement can, however, suggest collecting too many things, or keeping things long after their use has expired. Keeping lots of stuff around them could contribute to their sense of security or perhaps they hold sentimental value but others might just see it as clutter. My aunt has this placement and still has a ton of stuff from the 1970s in her kitchen cupboards because she feels emotionally connected to it and can’t bear to part with any of it.

These people may have been interested in financial literacy from a young age. As children, to the amusement of their parents, they could have started to save and budget in the same style as a middle aged person!

Prudent Investments

The investments they make are often numerous — but well informed. These may not be traditional, like stocks and shares, although in some cases they could be. Physical, tangible assets like precious metals and property tend to be more appealing because they see them as more stable and certain. I dated someone with this placement who used to buy parking garages and rent them out to people living nearby. Once he was in profit on each of his investments, he’d buy another garage and after some years of re-investing almost all of what he made, he ended up making a seriously impressive passive income!

Business Success

We are all capable of creating a successful business, no matter the stars are doing, or what’s in our birth chart. We all have free-will and every placement in astrology has its pros and cons. However, these people were probably born itching to start a business of some kind. And owing to their incredible drive to succeed and make a living on their own terns, they often do remarkably well as entrepreneurs.

Inheritance is also associated with this placement, although not to the same degree as Part of Fortune in the 8th house. Of course, not everyone with this placement will inherit a vast estate. They could inherit absolutely anything — from a set of vintage vases to millions of dollars.

Financially Rewarding Hobbies and Interests

Hobbies and interests are associated with the 2nd house but when the Part of Fortune is situated in it, these have the potential to bring about prosperity. To use a personal example, a friend of mine loves to knit. She has a medium sized knitting channel on YouTube. Although her passion began as a hobby, her welcoming and positive energy helped her build an audience and today, she makes a sizeable income from social media doing what she loves.

Financially Rewarding Professions

In many instances, a traditional career that is not only thoroughly enjoyable but high paying is what these people end up in. Some examples of fields they are likely to pick include banking and finance, medicine, law, tech, and IT and business. Remember that Taurus, the sign this house is linked to, is associated with tradition and convention so a stable and secure income from a stable and secure job is oftentimes just the ticket for them.
