Okay, so I’ve been messing around with astrology charts lately, and I stumbled upon this whole “Mars in the Second House” thing. It sounded kinda cool, so I decided to dig in and see what it was all about with my own chart.
First, I pulled up my birth chart online. I already knew my birth info – date, time, and place – so I just plugged that in. Boom! There was my chart, all colorful and mysterious.
Next, I located Mars. It’s that little symbol that looks like a circle with an arrow pointing out. Kinda like a dude symbol, I guess. Anyway, I found it and then checked which house it was in. For me, yep, it was in the Second House.
So, what does that even mean? Well, from what I’ve been reading, Mars in the Second House is all about how you handle your money, possessions, and your sense of self-worth. It’s like, your drive and energy (Mars) are focused on material stuff and feeling secure (Second House).
I started thinking about how this plays out in my life. I’m definitely a “go-getter” when it comes to making money. I’m always looking for ways to earn more, whether it’s through side hustles or just working extra hard at my job. I also, admit, I like nice things, but I don’t care much about expensive items. My stuff will be good for a while, then I find other new thing to take my eyes on it. It’s a constant battle between wanting to save and wanting to, you know, treat myself.
Here’s the deal with my experiment:
- I tracked my spending for a month. Every single penny. It was kinda painful, but I did it.
- I noticed I tend to impulse buy when I’m feeling stressed or down. Like, retail therapy is a real thing for me.
- I also realized I get a lot of satisfaction from building up my savings. Seeing that number go up gives me a sense of accomplishment.
After a month of watching my habits, I decided to make some changes. I set a budget (which I’m trying to stick to), and I’m working on finding healthier ways to deal with stress, like it could be hitting the gym, or playing video games.
It’s still a work in progress, I’m just human, but understanding this Mars in the Second House thing has helped me become more aware of my financial tendencies. It’s like, I’m finally getting to know myself a little better, and that’s pretty cool.
