SECOND HOUSE MERCURY

The House of Possessions - The field of prosperity

Sense of values.  Earned income.  Basic security.  Money and worldly goods. The physical substance of the body.  The desire to accumulate personal resources.

This placement makes an adroit manipulator of money. Such a person is likely to flourish in trades requiring quick-wittedness, versatility, and ingenuity. These people can prosper in affairs connected with writing, speaking, and travel and can serve as an agent, or go-between in financial transactions.

They are more of a mover than a producer of goods. Their values are more intellectual than material and they may make a hobby of collecting fine books and recordings. A liking for trendy or kitsch possessions is also likely.

Bargaining ability will be good, and certainly the subject will enjoy finding, or striking, a bargain. Financial wheeling and dealing, from bartering to big money markets, could prove fascinating. Often two or more sources of income will be enjoyed.

This is the Venus/Taurus house and as Mercury rules the hands, texture is often important, with the feel of silk, velvet or the touch of beautiful skin being much appreciated.
