Eros in the 2nd House
With Eros in the second house, the erotic life-force concentrates around the body, money, and what you value, so desire is sensual and tied to comfort, pleasure, and self-worth. The gift is a richly embodied passion and a vitality that builds something real. The shadow is desire that clings to possession, or worth measured by being wanted. The growth is enjoying the senses without grasping. At your best your passion makes life tangible and sweet.
Lean in — Enjoy sensual pleasure without grasping at possession.
Watch for — Tie your sense of worth to being desired.
