I'm curious, those of you with a strong 2nd house. What are your experiences around earning money? Is it easy for you to change jobs? Have you had the experience of feeling stuck in a job but wouldn't let go because of the fear of losing a steady income?
Anyone with strong second house having experience with being self employed/ having a more flexible/alternative way of earning money?


I have a 2nd house Libra stellium + Pluto in the same house and sign. I've been changing jobs and "careers" several times, it's natural for me. But never left a job without any safe future prospects.
But right now I'm feeling stuck, for quite some time in a job that doesn't serve me anymore. Also I'm having issues with chronic fatigue (kind of self diagnosed..) and I cannot really focus at searching for a new job. Also the root of my issue is that I think I need a more radical change. To do something I believe in, but first I need to take some time off to heal, I think. BUT...there is this huge fear of leaving something "secure", like a huge existential-type of fear.

Chronic fatigue is horrible. I've dealt with it myself, but strangely enough I seem to be on an antidepressant that keeps me awake longer than 5 seconds. I just hope it keeps helping.

Anyway, I have Uranus and Neptune in 2nd house and my North Node. I have a high suspicion that my income will never be "stable" and it's not just Uranus that makes me think that but my inability to handle a common job.

I can't do waitressing. My arm will shake and I'll drop the food on the floor, plus my physical strength isn't that great to begin with and my feet are legitimately terrible. I probably shouldn't be on my feet for too long, because my feet have been professionally declared as abnormal and in need of good heel support.

Because of my sensitivity to heat, I can't work fast food either. And being a cashier isn't stimulating enough for my Gemini Moon.

Sadly, most jobs where I live are retail, so unless I'm suddenly able to get married, it's unlikely I'll be able to move out-of-state and support myself the way that everyone else can. I'll probably have to be self-employed, which I'm not sure I can do.

Problem is, like you, I need security. I need to feel like I have a stable amount of income, but I can't really give myself that right now. I've never had a job and I'm 24. It's embarrassing.

If I ever become mentally and emotionally capable, I want to get a job that allows me to make use of my natural creativity and possibly requires the use of a computer.

For now, I am trying to heal from persistent stress.

I'm not sure I can give you any advice on getting out of your situation. If you can, I think you should get some help with your chronic fatigue, especially while you still have a job. Chronic fatigue can really worsen your situation to the point where you can't do anything. If your chronic fatigue is being caused by something that doctors can find, you may be able to find some relief from it.

Unfortunately, with chronic fatigue, it's possible it can't be fixed. I've read all kinds of fatigue horror stories from back when I was experiencing persistent fatigue and I'm not sure the fatigue issues are gone forever. Still, I'd try to see a doctor about it to be sure.

You'll have a much easier time finding a new job if you aren't suffering from so much fatigue. That's where I would start.

Yeah, with Uranus and Neptune in the second I can imagine that it's maybe more natural for you to have money coming in more unusual ways. But I don't think that's necessarily a bad thing. On the contrary, with these two your intuition might help you a lot in finding ways to earn money. Maybe it's about letting go the need to stick to orthodox ways of money making and then it will happen naturally? Just my thoughts on this

When I was 23 I had the same feeling, an extreme itching to start working - not sure about your case, but in my case it stemmed from my need to feel valuable - it wasn't conscious at that time but I suffered from this programming that your value equals your work. Maybe still do. It wasn't even about the payment or doing what you like. These were optional. Just to be an "integrated part of the workforce". So I started working, that was my worst job ever, couldn't afford to move, still lived with my parents. While other friends were still studying or travelling or enjoying life, or having more flexible and fun work experiences.
Anyway, just wanted to say that if it's not an absolute necessity don't start locking yourself away in some corporation. Sure, it depends what you like and want
