Saturn, the Second House and Wealth

An Astrological Look at the 2nd house Saturn of Wealthy Native’s Charts

Saturn is the lord of time and a great teacher of wisdom, but some other things the 6th planet from our Sun is known for are his discipline and tendency to restrict all he comes into contact with. He reminds all of us and the other planets that we need to learn many of life’s lessons by working hard, without there necessarily being any compensation for our well-deserved efforts. The Saturnian life is famously the hard-knock life, especially to begin with. As the ‘greater malefic’, he is associated with disease and scarcity.

Saturn does ‘grow on us’, however, in the sense that he is in it for the long-term and, despite many difficulties, things can and do improve with this planet over time. He is all about building on improvement from the ground up and, when persevered with and expressed in a structured, responsible way, he can eventually bring the goods we were everlastingly patient for. That being said, it’s understandable why many people with Saturn situated in their 2nd house might struggle financially, especially if Saturn is weak and there are no other placements to offer a well-to-do potential materialistically. Let’s have a look at several wealthy people’s natal charts, all with Saturn in their 2nd house.

Snoop Dogg

Snoop Dogg is a world-famous rapper from Long Beach, California. He has his Saturn in his 2nd house in Gemini, yet it directly opposes a Jupiter-Neptune conjunction. You might think initially that Saturn here could bring loss or sorrow, but Jupiter is in his 8th house of banking and money from external sources, so this suggests a huge potential of increase in wealth, especially seeing as Jupiter is in domicile in Sagittarius. The Jupiter-Saturn opposition can indicate a constant energy source that needs release, from a well of dedicated ambition, so it is likely Snoop has put in the hard work and plenty more to get him where he is today.

Brad Pitt

Brad Pitt is of course one of the richest, most successful and famous actors the world has ever seen. He’s a Sagittarius with all the charisma of his philosophical fire sign, yet he has four planets in Capricorn and two planets in Virgo, making him plenty more earth than he is fire. His Saturn in Aquarius is in domicile and it rules his 2nd house as well as occupies it, so straight away we can see that the planet might have a chance at manifesting positively with perseverance as he reaches his later years. However, he also has Mercury, Venus and Moon in his 2nd house of wealth and his Moon rules his 8th house, linking the two financial places of his horoscope together. Venus tends to bring balance, harmony and abundance wherever she falls, so it really is no wonder he is especially talented, hard-working and had always made an amazing living from this combination of planets in his 2nd house.

Ariana Grande

Ariana’s 2nd house Saturn directly opposes her Mars in her 8th house, which at first glance may appear to the astrologer to be an unfortunate aspect, but she has her Sun in her 6th house trining Saturn with a sextile to Mars. This no doubt helps, especially as her Sun rules her 8th house of money from external sources. Also, her 2nd house ruler is Uranus, which is in a partile conjunction with both her ascendant and Neptune and these all trine Venus, again at the same degree. The fact Uranus conjoins her Ascendant will really increase the importance of her 2nd house in her natal chart and Venus’s trine will indicate blessings to this area of her life. 2nd house Saturn is also her chart ruler. She has this intricate web of interactions between her house rulers that would appear to bring the potentials of plenty of abundance and luck into her life.

Justin Timberlake

Heartthrob and singer Justin Timberlake has Saturn in his 2nd house, yet it is in conjunction with Jupiter, so this might suggest there is a constant pulling back and forward movement when it comes to self-worth and personal finances, as Jupiter and Saturn dance their ways together towards long-term achievement. His 2nd house is ruled by Mercury, which is in detriment at the critical degree of 00° Pisces and conjoining Mars in Aquarius, with an orb of 5°. This also looks ominous at first glance, because of Mars’ malefic nature. On closer inspection you can see that his Mars is actually locked into what is considered to be one of the most beneficial aspect patterns of talented people, the cradle pattern. This is when a planet is connected to three other planets or major points, one by opposition, one via trine and one by a sextile and the resulting shape is like a baby’s crib. In this case his Mars in Aquarius opposes his Ascendant, trines Pluto and sextiles a very tight Neptune-Moon conjunction (which actually makes his cradle 5 planets in total). With the cradle involving his 2nd house ruler, we can see how his talents will have amassed a fortune for him over the years.
