Pluto in the 2nd house

The 2nd house covers earning, possessions and values. Pluto here makes money a matter of power. Resources are gained, lost and rebuilt, often more than once, and these people have a sharp instinct for value and for what others will pay. Ownership carries emotional weight. The cost is control exercised through money, difficulty letting go of what has outlived its use, and a fear of dependence that drives the accumulating well past the point of need.
