What it governs
The 2nd house is income, savings, possessions, the sensory pleasure of having things. Also self-worth in a non-financial sense: what you consider valuable about yourself.
If it's empty
Empty 2nd doesn't mean broke. The 2nd-house sign still tells you your money-style and value-system.
Planets in this house
Jupiter in 2nd: lucky with income. Saturn in 2nd: money is earned slow and disciplined. Neptune in 2nd: easy to lose track of finances — but also a generous, artistic relationship to value.
When transits hit this house
Jupiter transit through the 2nd is the textbook 'money flows in' year. Pluto transit forces a deep restructure of what you value.
