The Sun in the Second House of the Relocation Chart

The relocation horoscope is calculated for the new geographic coordinates of the place of residence, but always takes into account the birth time according to Greenwich. The planets remain in the same signs, but the cusps of the Houses can shift significantly, so all the important points will no longer be where they were before. This affects the unfolding of life events: it is as if the native moves onto a parallel scenario line, and their emotional reactions to various occurrences also change. Worldview and goals are transformed. When the Sun enters the Second House, the themes of money, physical and psychological resources, and health come to the forefront. If the Sun’s position is strong, positive changes can be expected; if it is weak, on the contrary, financial crises and loss of energy may arise.

Features of the Sun Moving into the Second House in the Relocation Chart

When moving west, the cusps of the Houses shift counterclockwise. This is considered a more desirable change, bringing ease in decision-making and a certain youthful enthusiasm for adventures and exploring new realities.

If the native moves east, the Houses shift clockwise. In this case, the Sun enters the Second sector of the horoscope from either the First or Third House, which also leaves its mark on character and behavioral patterns.

It is important to remember that relocation will never change the potential set in the natal chart, but it will highlight that potential according to the focus of the new House. For example, a bright and independent native with the Sun in the First House natally may suddenly become more responsible and grounded, realizing the need to start their own business or, conversely, seek stable employment in the new place. Whereas before the person may have been selfish and simply floated through life, now there is a desire to put down roots, earn for the future, and replenish energetic resources.

When the Sun moves into the Second House from the Third, the native’s circle of contacts narrows. There is simply not enough time for the usual phone conversations or social media browsing, since work and the environment related to it become the main focus: the collective, where the native still forms useful connections and communicates, so they are not left alone, but the emphasis is now on those with whom they cooperate. Even trips, once for entertainment, now become work-related.

The Sun in the Second House and Money

Symbolically, having the Sun in the Second sector attracts whatever expands and fulfills the needs of the body. The simplest way to describe this is through money.

Indeed, after relocation, many new earning opportunities appear. However, new material desires also arise: to buy, to give, to spend, to invest, and to multiply. At a higher level of consciousness, the native becomes interested in investments; at a lower level, only in shopping.

Whether the native spends everything on personal pleasures, like those with the Sun in Air and Fire signs, or saves for the future and major purchases, as those with the Sun in Water and Earth signs do, depends on their willpower and the element of the sign in which the Sun is placed.

It is also important to examine any planet conjunct the Sun. If, in the First House, this planet influenced the style of self-expression, in the Second House it shows the way money is earned and how the native reveals themselves as a specialist.

For example, Mercury in the First House grants eloquence, the ability to connect with anyone, ease in learning, and acting talent. In the Second House, all these become practical skills for making money. A native familiar with astrology understands that, in their new location, they can earn well in fields like education, psychology, sales, marketing, and show business. If, however, Mercury is combust, it is better to focus on the Sun’s aspects to the angles of the Houses responsible for career—Sixth, Tenth, Eleventh—or to see which House the Sun rules, as talents contributing to increased earnings can be found there as well.

You should not expect an immediate windfall, as the relocation chart does not take effect instantly. The first shifts toward the energy of the Second House appear about two to three months after the move.

The Sun in the Second House of the Relocation Chart and Health

Our resources are, above all, energy. If the body is healthy, attracting money will also be easier. Most often, the Sun’s transition into the Second House helps increase vitality, the native recovers quickly, gets sick less often, and feels motivated to take up sports or energy practices to reinforce the effect.

However, if afflicted, there may be loss of strength, and the native will have to push themselves to access the desired resources. Chronic ailments may resurface, especially if Saturn and Mars are also in the Second House, or if the Sun is in squares and oppositions with them.

Negative Influence of the Sun in the Second House in Relocation

At a low level of integration, the native’s worldview shifts from a leadership position to a consumerist one. If previously they at least sought to manifest themselves, participate in something, or organize something interesting, now they prefer to be an employee, pass responsibility to their employer, and be active only in a narrow niche that brings them money—and nothing more.

A consumerist egoism awakens in the native: only what brings personal benefit and material pleasures is of interest—going to a restaurant, buying beautiful clothes, items for the home. Sometimes the person becomes stingy and tight-fisted, especially if the Sun is in Virgo or Capricorn and Saturn is nearby.

At the highest level of the sign, such a native invests; at the lowest, they hoard for a rainy day and do not allow themselves to enjoy life, symbolically extinguishing their Sun.  ✓
