Their Mars in your 2nd house

They stir up your spending habits

In synastry, you place one person's planets into the other person's houses. When someone's Mars, how you act, falls in your 2nd house, Worth, that part of them shows up in the part of your life about money, values, security.

What it's like

A spur-of-the-moment purchase, a heated chat about who pays. This person energises how you chase security, which can be motivating or can make money talk spiky.

The good

They push you to go after what you want

The tension

Arguments about money can flare up quickly

It depends who they are

The same placement plays out differently with a partner, an ex or your mum.

If they're your partner

They stir up your spending habits

This person wants it bought now, you want to sleep on it. Money is a place where you spar, and they may push you to earn more or spend faster.

If they're a crush

They stir your wanting

This person makes you feel hungry for things, maybe a purchase, maybe a plan. Their drive nudges your appetites.

If they're an ex

They fought about money and values

With this person, disagreements tended to land on what things cost and what mattered. It sharpened your priorities and made the budget a battleground.

If they're a friend

They push you on money and values

This person gets you to stop dithering over what you want. They're blunt about spending and saving, which can be bracing and bossy in equal measure.

If they're family

They get stirred up about money and stuff

This person has strong feelings about spending, who owes what and who is being sensible. Disagreements over practicalities have long roots.

The other way round: Your Mars in their 2nd house

You push on their wallet and values

Your Mars in this person's 2nd makes them defend what they own and what they believe is fair. You can spur them to earn more, or to bicker about who pays.

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.
