Mars in the 2nd House

Driven financial ambition, earned resources through effort, the fierce defense of material security

♂ Mars 🏠 2nd House ✦ Taurus

Mars in the 2nd House directs its considerable drive toward the acquisition and defense of material resources.

This extends to values as well as possessions — the conviction about what matters tends to be held with a physical quality, a body-level certainty that doesn't easily give way to abstract counterargument.
