If the ruler of the second house is in the twelfth house, this means that you will financially profit the most through working on your own and through working in more secluded organisations and buildings (like ashrams, hospitals, prisons and monasteries, for example).

Also, you can make money through occult means, spirituality, and by writing about the occult, secretive arts, and fantasy. You may also profit through being associated with film-making and photography.

The work involving chemical and liquid substances, and work with or on water (such as working on a ship) is profitable for you as well. The less you disclose your work details, the less you talk about what exactly that you do to your friends and even those closest to you, the more successful your occupation will be.

There could be a time in your life where your work may involve keeping secrets, working on some secret projects, detective and research work, and you may feel limited in not being able to disclose any details of the project to those whom you know or who enquire about it.

On a more mundane level, having employment that is associated with large animals will also be profitable, such as a horse-riding business, keeping cows, training elephants, and so forth. However, if the ruler of the second house is afflicted in the twelfth house, even though such ventures may be profitable, you may experience injuries or other misfortunes because of keeping animals.

The lord of the second being placed in the twelfth means that you can profit from misfortunes, sicknesses and miseries of others. For example, having a funeral business, being a counselor, nurse or doctor, or running a life insurance company can prove profitable.

It is very often that the natives with this placement feel the limitations that are placed on them through their work. This will always feel this way, so the best thing to do is to embrace those limitations; because whatever you resist persists and grows bigger, but if you accept and embrace such limits, you may find ways to make use of them.

People with this astrological combination sometimes work with the elderly, their businesses are associated with aging (such as selling products to the aged), and also this combination shows that you will achieve the greatest development of your skills and will make the most money, if you continue working in your old age.

With this astrological placement, you will need to be careful in how you make money, because if you try to gain through illegal or negative ways, you may be caught and your actions will be limited as a result.

It shows that there’s danger that your desire for the material things in life can lead to criminal acts and confinement as a consequence.

Also, sometimes this astrological configuration shows a person who earns in dishonest or illegal ways, a criminal. Many criminals get caught, of course. But if this configuration is not afflicted, such deeds may go unpunished (but this is not guaranteed, however).

Since the twelfth house is associated with karma, whether you experience luck or the lack of it in your information-gathering, skill-development and money-earning pursuits, this is a lot to do with the karma you generated in past lives.

If there are problems in the mentioned areas, it’s very important to work on them now as you have the strength, because the matters may get worse in your old age if you ignore them.

This placement sometimes signifies the final development of a particular set of skills (this life is the last one to develop them).

When the native spiritually progresses and repays karmic debts, this astrological combination represents using one’s funds to help the poor, the confined, and the afflicted. The native then will donate money to spiritual institutions, visit the prisoners, help animals (especially big ones), and contribute in other ways through their income, knowledge and skills to spiritual pursuits.
