Each planet in the 2nd house

Sun
Identity is affirmed by building one's own resources: earning a living from who one is.
Moon
Material and emotional security go hand in hand: finances that fluctuate with mood.
Mercury
Income tied to words, trade, or ideas; a mind attentive to the value of things.
Venus
A talent for attracting resources and a taste for comfort: it earns through beauty and enjoys spending on pleasure.
Mars
It earns through its own effort and drive; possible impulsiveness in spending and money decisions.
Jupiter
A tendency toward abundance and material confidence; the risk is excess and overspending.
Saturn
Security is built slowly: prudence, saving, and lessons about self-worth.
Uranus
An irregular economy and unconventional income sources; freedom before stability.
Neptune
A blurry relationship with money: generosity and inspiration, with a risk of financial confusion.
Pluto
Deep material transformations: losses and regenerations that teach true value.
