The Sun in the 2nd house links income to government, authority or one's own name. Speech is direct and sometimes harsh, and there can be friction in the family over money or values. Eyes and teeth need care.
What the 2nd house governs
The 2nd house, Dhana bhava, covers wealth, savings, family, speech, food and early education.
What Sun brings
Surya, the Sun, is the king among the grahas and the natural soul-significator (Atmakaraka). It represents vitality, authority, the father and one's sense of self.
What changes the result
- Sign and dignity: Sun exalted or in its own sign gives the best version of this placement; debilitated or in an enemy sign, the weaker version.
- House lordship: which houses Sun rules for your Lagna decides whose matters it carries into the 2nd house.
- Aspects and conjunctions: Jupiter's aspect protects; Saturn, Mars or Rahu add pressure.
- Dasha: the placement shows most strongly during Sun's own Mahadasha or Antardasha (6-year Mahadasha).
