A man’s worth is no greater than the worth of his ambitions
,said the Marcus Aurelius.
The universal dynamo Mars in second house of
a chart actually presents the essence of these words quite beautifully
.Mars is an extrovert planet
who loves to display power ,but when placed in second house ,these
tendencies undergo subtle modifications .Here Mars’s tremendous energy
gets directed towards clear and precise goals. Yes these persons are
highly ambitious in their lives and love to conquer
what their minds aspire .Though the actual results will get modified by
state of Mars i.e in which sign it is placed, whether its direct or
retrograde, what are its relationship with other planets and alike.
Still talking in generic terms, individuals who
are born with Mars in second house will develop a feeling that to acquire and posses in life is of great value,
intrinsically they have fire burning inside themselves to grow to a
very high position, and often they give almost all of their energies
in pursuit of wealth and status.
Its obvious to imagine what Mars might do sitting
in house of speech, do these people always speak harsh? Not at all!.This
position actually means that
one will have less patience and desire to practice restrain will be considerably absent.
Hence once provoked, length of inner dialog within their heads is short
lived and they find themselves loosing temper often, even on most silly
matters. For these
people giving attention to their physical strength matters a lot, and
as a result we will often see these people highly active in exercise,
workouts, building their stamina. The fact that physical strength
matters to them do have a subtle side to it which
must be understood. Unless overwhelming influence of Jupiter or Mercury
is present in chart ,these people grow up with a belief that to acquire in life one needs to have lot of physical power. If involved in Spiritual pursuits ,they will find it more
easy to go on a path which is body centric, like Hatha-yoga.
Say something which goes against their Self image
and witness their blast of anger, for these people Self esteem holds a
supreme place. These people tend to glorify and take immense pride in
whatever they think ,or do. Whatever they earn
through their hard work often becomes object of display of their
achievements. They might not speak much, but whenever they open their
mouth, something precise and powerful can be expected which might look
like harsh or unimpressive as they don’t speak to
please others ,rather they speak their own minds .As mentioned earlier
too, tendency to indulge in inner dialog is rare ,if at all present, it
will be random and not organized enough to give well defined structure
to their words .For these people lure of
extreme and excess exists in bounty , they do not find much comfortable in pursuing moderation, whatever be the sphere.
Mars in second house will need lot of other
supporting features so that its positive aspects to manifest .For
example the sign in which it is placed needs a careful watch, Its best
if its placed in signs where this Dynamo finds itself happy
like in Capricorn, Aries or Scorpio. Being placed in Jupiter’s sign is
one of the best ways for this Mars to channelize its energy in fruitful
manner. Mars positioned in second house might find itself resonating so
well with these words, “Because there
was a hunger in me to see everything and do everything. I wanted to be
everyone I saw. I wasn't enough for me. Can you understand that?”
