About Mars

Mars is your drive: how you go after things, how you get angry and how you get moving on a Monday. It's courage, sex drive and the urge to win, all in one slightly sweaty package.

About the 2nd house

The 2nd house covers what you own, what you earn and what you value, including how much you value yourself. It's your sense of security, in the bank and in the gut.

Mars in the 2nd, sign by sign

The sign Mars was in changes the style. Find yours.

Aries →You chase money like a race you intend to win, earning fast and spending faster whenever something feels worth fighting for. Taurus →Money gets built the slow way, steadily and stubbornly, and you'll defend what you've earned like a bull guarding a very comfortable field. Gemini →Wits pay your bills, through side hustles and clever ideas, though your spending can be as scattered as your browser history. Cancer →Security is what you fight hardest for, saving defensively and spending on whatever makes your people feel safe and looked after. Leo →Earning boldly and spending generously, you treat money partly as a matter of pride: you want to be the one who picks up the bill. Virgo →Careful efficiency shapes your money: you earn through skill and detail, and research a purchase for three weeks before committing. Libra →Partnerships and beautiful things are where you earn best, though you can dither over spending until someone else helps you decide. Scorpio →Money gets pursued strategically and privately, and you never forget who tried to take what's yours. Sagittarius →Big ideas earn you money and experiences spend it, since you'd rather gamble on an adventure than save for a sensible rainy day. Capricorn →Wealth gets built with patient ambition, earning steadily and spending only when it serves a long-term plan you've already mapped out. Aquarius →Unusual routes and innovation earn you money, and you'll spend on tech or causes long before you'll spend on fitting in. Pisces →Creativity or compassion earns your money, and your relationship with it can be fluid, generous and a little bit vague.
