2nd House: Are you talented enough?

I find 2^nd house interesting because I spent my entire life trying to know what I have. I grew up thinking I am not capable of doing anything, so I guess it forced me to know what my innate talents are. And to be honest with you, this is the most difficult thing to realize because it takes time. 2^nd house, along with 1^st and 3^rd house are the houses of which represents hidden parts of ourselves that we don’t know. If we don’t know it or sees it within ourselves, then others won’t. If we don’t know our value, we cannot expect others to know our value.  It is so innate in all of us that we can overlook it but it there.  The difference between the 12^th house of not knowing is that others know our 12^th house, although we may not see it for ourselves.

What is my worth? That is question of the 2^nd house. Who are you and what do you have? The second house is so natural, primitive, non negotiable and stable, maybe that’s why it is naturally ruled by Taurus, the stubborn and unflinching Taurus who simply values what it has. When we are young, I guess it is easier to see ourselves or what should we value in ourselves through the eyes of the society or culture we grew up in, that’s easy. We measure ourselves against the society we grew up in, our heritage, our home. Don’t lose this, don’t lose that. Value your so and so and so forth. But as we grow older, we also outgrow what we used to value. When the 2^nd house or the house of value changes; the rest of what he hold dear changes, meaning our entire paradigm shifts. Guess, we would only realize our true value when we no longer hold on to the values we used to have.

Venus on the 2^nd house values beauty but meaning or the substance of what it can be deemed as beautiful changes as we grow mature. Without knowing what we have in the 2^nd house, we will never know what we have to offer when we are in the 8^th house. We won’t be able to rest and transform ourselves.
