Third house governs your skills, communication, hobbies, mental intelligence, and self-effort, the tools you use to earn your living, along with your relationships with siblings, neighbours, and the people around you. Second house, by contrast, governs your family wealth, lineage, assets, and material resources. When the third house lord moves into the second house, you tend to convert your communication skills and hobbies directly into earning power.
General Effects
When the third house lord shifts into the second house, the house of wealth, you tend to use your skills, hobbies, communication, and self-effort to build your finances. Careers as a media personality, consultant, communications professional, or marketing manager suit this placement, and you may also build your own entrepreneurial venture by combining your talents with inherited family resources. Because this shift moves the planet backward from the twelfth house into the second, the results can lean positive or negative depending on the planet's overall condition.
