A person with Mars in the 2nd house will be very active and enterprising when it comes to earning money. The 2nd house represents resources, including finances, attitude towards money, and the innate talents we are born with.
Such a person will not sit and wait for money to fall into their lap. They understand that the more they hustle and work, the higher their earnings will be. More often than not, they will engage in self-employment to have control over their finances - their own schedule, clients, without having to answer to a boss.
These individuals are often highly skilled masters of their craft, with a real "golden touch." They have a strong feel for the materials they work with, whether it's men working with metal or wood, or women sewing and embroidering. They generally have a great feel for any tool or instrument they use, regardless of the profession.
Frequently, they work in technical professions. For optimal well-being, it's important for them to stay physically active, walk a lot, and maintain good physical condition. Physical activity nourishes such a person.
If Mars is afflicted by challenging aspects to heavier planets, they may experience frequent headaches, muscle problems, or inflammation in the organs ruled by the sign Mars occupies.
