When the ruler of the tenth house is in the second house, this means that you may start gaining materially early in life or that you may become interested in material gains from early on.

It’s important for you to make more money because you think that this reflects your value. You will not feel well unless you can show to others through your material belongings your good station in life.

(Of course, if you spiritually progress, this will change, as with spiritual progress, it’s possible to neutralize to some degree the influence of our natal chart configurations.)

The ruler of the tenth house in the second house also shows that for you to feel valuable, you’ll strive to develop your skills, probably from early on. The mastery of certain skills will give you the confidence to face the world and to feel adequate.

Your belongings will attract the attention of others, or for some other reason, they will be visible to others.

For example, you may get interviewed about some things that you own and thus your belongings become known to others; or, in a worse scenario, there could be some legal issue with your belongings and that’s how the public becomes aware of some of your possessions.

Another possibility is that you may acquire belongings that are of famous people or that are known to the public. Those belongings can attract attention, for example, because they are antique, or ones of a kind.

This placement can also mean that some of your money or belongings can come from one of your parents, likely to be your father. So your parent or guardian may, for example, help you out in tough times, may like to give you gifts regularly, or may give you money to support you or for some other reason.

Also, this placement shows that you can become wealthy by focusing on your career. Your career will bring you a good income and will allow you to have a comfortable and maybe even luxurious lifestyle, depending on the state of this astrological combination.

Even if this configuration is afflicted, you’ll still be able to earn good money from your career, however with afflictions, you may spend what you earn, or make unwise financial decisions. But you will see that even with afflictions, a comfortable life is definitely possible, and without afflictions, you are likely to gain wealth.

The danger with this placement is that your career may make you materialistic and always in need of making more money, so be careful not to fall into such a trap, as some people end up chasing money all their lives.
