Moon in 2nd House

Moon (चंद्र), a natural benefic planet signifying mind, mother, emotions, placed in the 2nd house — a functional house known as Dhana Bhava — brings its water energy to the domain of accumulated wealth, family (of origin), speech and communication.

The full expression of this placement depends on the sign Moon occupies in the 2nd house, aspects from other planets, and the natal chart's overall planetary strength — each modifying whether the mixed potential manifests most fully in the native's life.
