The second house of the ascendant chart (Lagna chart) controls income, speech, communication, relations with family, self-earned wealth, eye sight, and vision. If Sun is placed in the 2nd house, the person will be rich overall and may earn benefits from the government if the effects are beneficial. Since the 2nd house also governs the mouth, having Sun there means that the person would love to eat, although they would become rich through self-effort too, if they try. Such an individual would also have a good level of authority in the society and family. However, they would also be likely fond of the opposite gender which could get them in trouble.
If the Sun in the 2nd house is afflicted, which is to say, placed in an enemy or debilitation sign or being aspected by malefics, the person may lose their money or suffer financial problems due to the government. However, this shall not happen if the Sun is aspected by benefic planets like Jupiter and Venus.
Some conditions to note here are:
- Sun conjunct Mercury – in the 2nd house, this gives rise to Budh-Aditya Yog, which would make the person quite rich. However, if Mercury gets combusted due to being within the Sun’s combustion range of the planet (0 to 14 degrees difference), the person’s speech may be affected, causing them to stammer.
- Sun conjunct Venus – in the 2nd house, this would also help boost the person’s wealth and they will enjoy comforts and luxuries with good contacts and communication through the government.
- Sun in exaltation (Aries) – in the 2nd house, this is applicable only for Pisces ascendants; however, Sun will give positive results here, too.
- Sun aspected by malefics – in the 2nd house while being aspected by malefic planets such as Rahu, Saturn, or Mars will put the life of the native’s father in danger.
