The composite chart reveals the shared relationship between two individuals. It’s perspective focuses more on the shared direction rather than the individual qualities of the two people in relation to each other (synastry). The Composite Sun in 2nd house indicates that the central purpose and direction of the relationship is found within the themes of the second house. These themes include stability and security, self-worth, wealth and resources, values, and inherited talents. Basically the things we possess that are valuable to us and make us feel secure. The physical body and its various dimensions also fall within the themes of the 2nd house. Often, certain themes visible in composite and synastry charts are also evident in the individual birth charts of the parties involved, so it is always useful to examine both.
Money, possessions and abilities
This composite chart configuration works well when the relationship naturally aims towards accumulating wealth and assets. This would be a natural configuration for business partners, but it also fits well as a theme for romantic relationships.
This configuration may also manifest in a way where there is a lack of money in the relationship, and they need to develop various ways and abilities to specifically increase sources of income. The concrete manifestation itself varies, but in one way or another, it can be one of the important qualities of this relationship.
Aspects to the Composite Sun in 2nd house also provide various indications. For example, in a Sun square Saturn aspect, the couple undoubtedly faces various challenges when trying to pursue possessions. Saturn slows down and makes achieving goals challenging, requiring perseverance and commitment before success is forthcoming. Saturn demands but also rewards those who persevere long and persistently enough and who develop their own abilities sufficiently. Ultimately, the couple can emerge stronger, more determined, and wealthier.
Composite Sun in 2nd House: Self-esteem
Money is the classic definition of the second house. But it’s definitely not the only one, and the Composite Sun in 2nd House configuration may not necessarily manifest specifically in the realm of wealth. The second house also substantially includes self-esteem, so in this composite arrangement, special attention can be directed toward the development of partners’ self-esteem.
Often in relationships (especially long-lasting ones), there are certain themes that we encounter repeatedly and that may cause difficult situations and emotions. In this composite chart placement, it is valid to ask whether there is room for improvement in the self-esteem of the relationship’s parties. For some reason, it has been brought into particular focus in this relationship. Sometimes the situation is such that one party in the relationship has particular room for improvement in their self-esteem, while the other person may be quite confident. In this case, the parties involved in the relationship must find a way to boost both their self-esteems without leaving one behind. This then poses a challenge even for the party with better self-esteem. It is essential to remember that relationships always involve two parties, and both contribute to the relationship, whether we want it or not. Perhaps the situation is that the stronger person’s self-esteem is too pronounced and overbearing, and this tendency needs to be reduced. One partner needs to increase, and the other needs to decrease.
Security and stability
With the 2nd house being naturally ruled by Taurus, one of its most important themes is creating stability and security. Composite Sun in 2nd house can thus indicate a relationship where the couple needs to develop and aim for stability and security in terms of the relationship atmosphere, living environment, or similar aspects. An element that brings security could be, for example, the previously mentioned money and possessions, as they often serve as a source of security for people. Additionally, the concrete abilities of individuals can bring certainty to the shared relationship.
This arrangement can also refer to a relationship that is highly volatile for one reason or another, and as a result, the parties must direct their efforts towards bringing the relationship into a more stable emotional environment. In this case, psychological security is sought rather than material security. It’s worth looking for any opposition in the 8th house, as it often relates to the psychological and subconscious emotional charge of the relationship.
Composite Sun in 2nd house values
The second house also governs values. In the context of the Composite Sun in 2nd house relationship, it may be essential to ask what is truly important to the partners? What brings value to their lives? Clues to this are provided by the Composite Sun’s sign, other planets in the second house, and the 2nd house cusp. For example, Mercury or Gemini in 2nd house cusp may indicate a relationship where knowledge or communication is valued. They may also act as a source of security in this relationship. On the other hand, Cancer or Moon in Composite 2nd house may reflect a special emphasis on emotions in the relationship’s values and serve as a source of security.
Couple’s inherited life values may be far apart, and in this relationship, they need to seek a common value base to which both can rely on and commit. On the other hand, it may be that life’s various events reshape the relationship’s values, and through this process, they find a common direction through which both feel they are gaining something valuable in the relationship.
Sexuality and Physicality
With Taurus ruling the second house, physicality and sexuality may appear strong in the relationship. Aspects to the Sun provide clues as to whether this influence emerges naturally or with conflicts. If the relationship is not romantic, this arrangement may also suggest a relationship where physical fitness, physical therapy, and healing could be relevant. For example, between a doctor and a patient or even a masseur and a client.
