What characteristics are shown when the Second House is in Scorpio?

Question

Does this mean my talents, inner self, and way of making money is that of Scorpio's.

Answer 1

Second House

The second house is concerned with resources which we have developed as a result of our presenting ourselves in the world. It is concerned with possessions, including money. It shows how we value things through whatever sign is on the cusp. And it also indicates our talents, the five senses and our self-worth. It indicates our attitude to what we own, how we get these things, how we treat or manage them. And whether we retain them. The second house indicates how we can acquire the wherewithal in order to survive, and can refer to liquid assets (that is what we can quickly sell to produce cash, or to trade). We can own land, houses (fixed assets), etc, yet not have the ready cash to pay for our living expenses, and the second house is concerned with this. Naturally, this also means the second house is concerned with survival, because our money is used here to buy food, shelter, etc. In a more primitive life, we might need hunting or farming skills in order to survive, so it is obvious that the second house deals also with talents and skills that we can use to enhance our survival.

Scorpio (Intense and Secretive)

You are deep and intense (intense and secretive), and you enjoy digging into the depths of other people. You may be driven (passive) by deep, hidden emotions (secretive, water). You may be slow to get started on things (stable), but once started you can become a powerful torrent, which is difficult to stop (fixed). You are more likely to be driven by deep emotions (passive water) than to follow your true self.

Answer 2

THE SECOND HOUSE
House of Possessions

The Second House is commonly referred to as the House of Possessions. While this speaks to that which we own, it's not limited simply to tangible things. We own our feelings and emotions, as well as our inner selves, abilities, needs and wants. When we own up to something, we are in fact claiming ownership of our greatest possession, our self.
Using our possessions, including material goods, to maximum advantage is also within the realm of the Second House. Our possessions should enhance our lives and those of others in addition to fostering a general sense of well-being. This brings forth the concept of value which is key to the Second House. What do we value, both tangibly and intangibly? Why do we value it? Who do we value? What do we really own? What do we want to own? Why? Our effective resolution of these questions is a large part of what the Second House is all about.

Specific possessions covered by the Second House include earned income and our ability to influence it, investments and moveable property (cars, clothing, jewelry and the like). Debt is also part of the equation here, since we own the responsibility to pay our bills. How we view money, the acquisition of wealth (and debt), financial reversals, savings, budgeting and financial status are all ruled by the Second House.

For those of us who believe that money will set us free, it's interesting to note that this maxim finds a home in the Second House. Personal freedoms as established by financial capability and sensibility are addressed within this House. To a great extent, our possessions and what we do with them help to define us as viable human beings. Taking it a step further, will these material goods help us gain social standing, recognition, friendship and love? Used properly, they very well might. Therefore, the goal implicit in one's possessions could be defined as the ability to use those possessions honestly and to our best advantage and for the greater good. If our possessions work for us and those around us, what more could we ask? Well, one more question does come to mind: what goes around comes around? Sounds about right!

The Second House is ruled by the Sign Taurus and the Planet Venus.
