2nd House in Leo
A. N. Ryzhov. House Cusps in Signs
Inclination toward speculation, but potential is not fully utilized. Strong love for money, yet significant losses due to a carefree lifestyle.
Avessalom Podvodny. Houses in the Signs of the Zodiac
The noble Don carves his path through the riffraff. This person does not believe in the need to stand on ceremony with the environment. At a low level, he leans more toward the psychology of a conquering soldier who burns, plunders, rapes, and takes what he needs, relying on the authority of his sword or hydrogen bomb. The only thing he fears is a force that may arise in the external world and surpass his own—especially an idea that could manifest in that force and prove mightier than his own. Here, interaction with the environment is perceived primarily in terms of power, direct authority, energy, conquest, unquestioned respect or contempt, and proud disregard. Even at a low level, there is a hint of nobility in his general ethics: for example, he may believe it is better to kill than to deceive, and he has a simplistic perception of the external world, particularly the primacy of mental strength and the deep conviction that nothing exists beyond what he sees. Accordingly, he views his influence on the environment as direct practical and energetic impact—conquest rather than persuasion or adaptation, since he believes he acts accordingly. He must also learn refined ethical principles, gaining experience in Aquarius, in the mentally detached group ethics, and recognize impersonal laws of karma behind personal influence on the environment.
Houses in the Signs. Alexander Kostovich
The financial materialist wants his money to be used by his children, family, and home. He places money in a position of power over life. He does not stand on ceremony with his surroundings—his psychology is that of a conquering soldier who takes what he needs. The only thing he fears is a force that could oppose him. Successful in financial matters. He keeps his financial reserves secret. Highly proactive in financial transactions. He squeezes maximum benefit from available opportunities. Considers no work beneath him. Works diligently but demands a decent salary in return. Excellent as a treasurer in any society. Enjoys being praised for his work. It is difficult for him to amass a large fortune on his own, but he manages others’ wealth exceptionally well, even multiplying it. He can achieve a good financial standing only through persistent labor and frugality, which easily border on stinginess. He dislikes risking family savings set aside for a rainy day—he guards them unwaveringly. Pays debts promptly and expects others to do the same. For him, the sense of financial duty to his family is paramount. Dislikes borrowing money, avoids debt himself, and values financial independence. Cannot tolerate wastefulness and is infuriated when others throw away food. Thrifty but dislikes buying cheap things. Zealously protects his property. Avoids bank loans and knows how to manipulate money. Losses due to theft and gambling in the first half of life. Happiness in gambling in the second half. Enjoys fine cuisine.
