Strong vs Weak 2nd House
When the 2nd house and its lord are strong and well-placed, the native enjoys financial stability, a supportive family and pleasant, truthful speech. When the house lord is weak, afflicted or badly placed, it can indicate money troubles, family friction and harsh or careless speech. Benefics here strengthen the house, while malefics can stress it unless the house is an Upachaya.
