Mercury, Venus and Rahu in the 2nd house: the reading
Mercury and Venus are well placed in the 2nd house and Rahu is strained there, so Mercury and Venus lead the trio here. Inside the trio, Mercury and Venus do best here: The artist and the diplomat in the 2nd house give a sweet, musical voice, money through art, writing, sales or beauty, and a family that values refinement. Mercury and Rahu are the pair to watch: Rahu and Mercury in the 2nd house give money through technology, media, foreign trade or clever schemes, and speech that is persuasive, fast and occasionally untrue.

- Gains from technology, media and foreign trade
- Persuasive, inventive speech
What needs care
- Spending on pleasures
