The True Wealth – Transforming Your Relationship with Possessions

The placement of Pluto, the planet of deep transformation, in the second house of your birth chart reveals volumes about your soul’s journey in this lifetime regarding your personal values, relationship to material possessions, financial security, and sense of self-worth.

While traditional astrologers emphasize the financial implications, with Pluto in the second house there are deeper waters at play. The sheer intensity Pluto brings can make material security feel paramount, yet true soul evolution unfolds by confronting fears, finding empowerment beyond ego, and discovering what it really takes to feel whole within.

The Pull of Pluto: Intense and Transformative

Pluto’s energy is intense and piercing. Named after the Roman god of the underworld, Pluto brings unconscious memories, desires, and complexes to light. In your second house, this manifests uniquely in your:

• Compulsive drive for financial security or wealth accumulation
• Deep seated need for control around money and possessions
• Complex relationship with personal value systems and self-worth

Yet while the traditional astrological interpretation points to extreme financial highs and lows, profound fluctuations are even more likely within your inner landscape – self-esteem, confidence, and the ability to feel secure in who you are beyond what you own.

“Pluto asks us to let go of everything that does not serve the truest version of ourselves.”

The sheer magnetism of the second house, ruled by comfort seeking Taurus, means possessions can become an all-consuming focal point. But Pluto is here to ensure complete transformation on the soul level. And so begins the dance between intense attachment, obsessiveness even, and periodic total purges.

Where Struggles Bring Opportunity

So in the areas Pluto touches, significant struggles are part of your journey. Fear around loss of control can drive tendencies towards materialism, greed when afflicted, or an ongoing sense of insecurity where self-worth is measured by what you acquire.

Yet within the struggle lies the gift. Power struggles force growth. You may fiercely protect assets out of fear initially, yet learn over time that true security arises from within. Loss may occur when holding on too tightly, but space is made for rebirth. In owning less, you expand into more of your potential.

“True abundance flows not from what we grip tightly, but from the wisdom, resilience and connection we cultivate within.”

And so Pluto’s placement in your second house signifies volumes about your journey. An opportunity for profound self-discovery and spiritual growth beckons from wrestling with societal conditioning around self-worth and security being defined by material wealth and possessions.

Wealth from Within: Developing an Empowered Relationship with Finances & Possessions

While traditional interpretations rightly suggest Pluto drives intense ambition for wealth and assets, it’s important to nurture motivation flowing from the heart rather than ego.

True security and self-worth arise from the richness cultivated within – from purpose, wisdom and empowerment. Yet with Pluto in the second house, it’s through initially seeking external solutions that you come home to your own light.

Wealth Indicators

You’re highly resourceful. If other chart placements support financial gain, you’re gifted in investing, banking, insurance, managing money, stocks and collecting assets that accrue value. Obstacles in early life may drive intense ambition. Where powerful Pluto is concerned, rags often proceed riches!

Yet you’re here to transform tradition. If wealth comes, it empowers you to forge new systems. The inhibitions of poverty cease, freeing you to take the risks necessary to leave an empowering legacy.

Wealth finally satisfies when it provides not a pedestal for ego, but a stable platform to uplift humanity. You discover through Pluto’s journey that true wealth arises from empowering others.

Purging Attachments

With security a driving force, you tenaciously grip possessions. Yet cyclically, all that fails to align with your essence requires purging. Difficult endings precede rebirth.

The intensity of Pluto reveals attachments that enslave rather than empower. Relationships, jobs, identities and definitions that limit your expansion must be periodically shed, no matter the initial pain, for your divine potential to manifest.

Through the journey, you discover lasting security arises through courageously letting go, not fear-based grasping. True stability flows from continual regeneration, not rigidly fixing things in place.

Beyond Polarity: Owning and Releasing Flow as One

Pluto seeks to end internal conflict – the painful tug of war between wanting to own, control and keep things for security, and recognizing the liberation of releasing at pivotal moments.

The second house journey reveals that owning possessions to express who you are, and periodically purging for rebirth, flow as one movement through a healthy being.

True fulfillment rides the waves between accumulating and divesting with intentionality at each turn. The friction between holding tight but feeling trapped dissolves into loving your possessions while loving the freedom to rise beyond them.

Through the portal of your second house, you step into your Divine power – no longer bound by cultural conditioning about finding security in ‘having’, but anchored to inner wealth.

Reflections from a Second House Pluto Native – My Story

In this case I don’t just study astrology, I live its transformations! Pluto resides in my second house too – so in sharing my story, know that I walk this path right beside you…

Growing up in challenging financial circumstances, I craved the comfort and security money could bring. Astrology and other mystical pursuits called me deeply yet felt frivolous for securing the stable life I desired. And so for many years I dutifully worked corporate jobs that promised status and savings rather than fulfillment.

My worth seemed inexorably tied to shares, salaries, property. I attached obsessively to objects symbolizing the security and social standing I lacked, believing possessions would make me feel whole, assuage my fears around scarcity.

Yet in my 30s came Pluto’s potent transit. Suddenly my identification with wealth and assets as the path to wholeness shattered. Relationships ended. Chronic illness forced career breaks. Income plunged through periods of convalescence.

Initially I resisted mightily, terrified of losing the thin veneer of a ‘successful’ self-image that took everything to construct. But finally recognizing that so much avoidance, emptiness and anxiety swirled beneath possessions and accolades despite having accrued them, I let go.

With less and less to grip, greater space emerged for me to tend my inner garden – writing brought meaning, community nourished. Unexpectedly I discovered joy and stability in radically simple living, absorbing life’s beauty with new presence. Honing my craft, I manifested previously unfathomable abundance as an expressive outlet, mentor and recognized modern philosopher teaching what I’m most passionate about.

And while today I celebrate good fortune and share teachings on prosperity, I’m forever changed – no longer seeking validity, safety or control externally. True wealth I’ve learnt emerges like flowers surprise blooming though cracks in broken open spaces within our hearts.
