HOUSES
The 2nd House
The 2nd house concerns what you rely on and regard as worth keeping, including resources, skills and values.

Astrological tradition associates this house with resources, values, self-worth, and material security.

Saturn here can prompt reflection on patient resource planning and the pressure to feel sufficiently prepared.
