A friend of mine once told me (sigh) that I didn’t have enough SEX on my blog and writing about 50 Shades of Grey this morning has got me thinking about it.
Not that I need or want my blog to be SEXY. That’s not my thing. But that I believe I can help non-vanilla folks with their relationships (using Astrology) and need to start marketing myself that way. Yes, my friends, marketing! It all comes back to marketing when Mars is transiting your 2nd House 🙂
The 2nd House is not a mysterious house. It’s Taurus! Nothing subtle about these lovely creatures. And yet it opposes a mysterious house, the 8th. Your money (2nd) vs. other people’s (8th). What you own vs. what you may share. I mean YOU KNOW what’s in your 2nd: don’t you?
Or do you have Neptune there natally or by transit and try as you might you cannot pin down what you value or even who you are or what others owe you or where you stop and where someone else begins…
The 2nd House is a cut-off point. MINE. But a slippery MINE will tend to give away what, perhaps, should be kept.
I remember when I was a kid, an unpopular one, giving away my Peanuts books to some girl. Thought it would do me some good I suppose. Or was it that she asked me? Or that I intuited she wanted it? She probably didn’t value it. She had a big toothy smile and I remember her first and last name.
Without some 2nd House clarity, it can be hard to make decisions because what are they based on?
The 2nd House is your WEALTH but more than material, and I am departing from the traditional perspective here which considers the 2nd House “moveable goods.”
I have two planets in this house but I don’t think about it much. I think it’s time to pay a visit.
Love, MP

Neptune in the second – NN, too.
I don’t know what to say about this. A couple of years ago, I wondered if this was the problem with my self-esteem: why couldn’t I see what others saw? And I’m talking about good, here, not bad. I avoid drugs, barely drink, don’t smoke – I’ve never needed anything like that for an escape. Books are special to me, and I used to be more creative (my dad recently showed me something that spoke of people feeling better when they drew happy pictures; I said, “I used to do that,” and he responded, “and you were a happy kid!”) Photography helps me.
I’m not a good salesperson, unless it’s something I really believe in. I’ve been so depressed, hurt and angry, but kindness is hugely important to me, and always has been. I used to care what people on here, and elsewhere, thought of me after witnessing me feeling so low and hurt (sometimes I still do care), but I know, as do others who have known and loved me for years, how important kindness is to me, and not dumping my rubbish on others. I pick up so much from others, that I need to isolate in order to feel better; I always avoided talking about anything that was wrong, because I knew that others didn’t need to be lumped with my problems, too, and I miss being that person so much – I was happier in general then – but it also worked to my detriment.
I didn’t realize Neptune was transiting my 2nd. Chiron, too. I don’t have anything there natally except retro Jupiter.
Chiron in 2nd Aquarius natally now I have retro Neptune and retro Uranus there doing the old confusing one two. I really have no clue how money is coming or how I’m to make it, so I’ve just surrendered to whatever shows up. I have however, revalued myself lately also with the help of Pluto going through my 1st house. Receiving and believing.
