Mars in the 2nd House
Mangala in bhava 2 gives plain food with no frills; possessions depend on whether Jupiter is joined to it.
Nothing refined on the plate. For Mangala, Mars, in bhava 2, the second house, the single idea is plain, simple food, such as buttered pasta on a Tuesday evening. Possessions vary depending on whether Jupiter joins Mars or not, and are judged separately.
Mars in the 2nd House, day to day
Mangala in house 2 shows up first on your plate. You eat fast, simple, without ceremony. A plate of buttered pasta on a Tuesday night is enough for you, and you see no point in setting the table for an ordinary evening.
This simplicity also touches your relationship with money. You may spend all at once on a whim, then tighten your belt for a few weeks. Your speech is direct, sometimes a little curt, especially at home when you are tired. A word tossed out too fast at the table can chill the mood for the whole evening.
Depending on the other influences in your chart, your resources grow or stay modest, and that is judged separately. All this placement indicates is a frank, straightforward way of speaking, eating and counting.
A tip for living this placement well: set aside a small fixed budget for impulse buys, so that a whim does not empty the account. Before answering someone close to you, breathe once. Your frankness will keep its strength without hurting anyone.
The 2nd house is about speech, family and possessions. To read all about Mangala, open the Mangala guide.
