Their Sun in your 2nd house
Their Sun supports your sense of worth and may help you earn or value yourself more. Shared money matters are a central theme.

2nd house synastry overlay
2nd house synastry puts their planet in your 2nd house: they affect what you consider yourself worth, and often what you spend.

How a 2nd house overlay feels
The second house is about money, possessions and self-worth, so overlays here bring the relationship down to practical questions: who pays, what is shared, what each of you values. The house person often feels their resources or sense of worth are affected by the other; the planet person tends to notice what the house person owns, earns or cares about. It is a grounding overlay — less dramatic than the angles, but important for day-to-day compatibility.

Planet by planet
Their planets in your 2nd house
Their Moon in your 2nd house
Their Moon feels secure with your resources and habits. Comfort, food and a stable home life together are important to both.
Their Mercury in your 2nd house
Their Mercury talks with you about money, plans and values. Good for joint budgeting and business ideas.
Their Venus in your 2nd house
Their Venus enjoys your possessions and taste, and may bring gifts or financial pleasure. A sensual, comfortable connection.
Their Mars in your 2nd house
Their Mars stirs up your finances — motivating you to earn, or causing arguments over spending and ownership.
Their Jupiter in your 2nd house
Their Jupiter is traditionally helpful to your finances and self-esteem. Generosity flows, sometimes too freely.
Their Saturn in your 2nd house
Their Saturn makes you careful with money together. Useful for long-term security, but can feel restrictive or judgmental about spending.
Their Uranus in your 2nd house
Their Uranus brings sudden changes to your finances or values — exciting opportunities and instability together.
Their Neptune in your 2nd house
Their Neptune blurs money boundaries. Idealism about sharing can turn into confusion over who owes what.
Their Pluto in your 2nd house
Their Pluto brings power questions around money and possessions, and can transform how you value yourself.
Overlays run both ways: check where your planets fall in their chart too. Houses show where the other person’s influence is felt; aspects between the charts show how well the two of you actually get along.
House person and planet person
Who feels a 2nd house synastry overlay more?
The house person usually feels a 2nd house overlay in practical terms — what they spend, what they value, how secure or insecure they feel about money and self-worth. The planet person is more likely to feel drawn to the house person's possessions, taste and talents, and to have opinions about them; whether that reads as support or interference depends on the planet.
By rising sign
Whose Sun lands in your 2nd house
With whole-sign houses your 2nd house is the sign 1 step on from your rising sign. A partner born while the Sun was in that sign has their Sun in your 2nd house; their other planets need their own chart.
| Your rising sign | Your 2nd house | Partner’s Sun there if born |
|---|---|---|
| Aries rising | Taurus | April 20 – May 20 |
| Taurus rising | Gemini | May 21 – June 20 |
| Gemini rising | Cancer | June 21 – July 22 |
| Cancer rising | Leo | July 23 – August 22 |
| Leo rising | Virgo | August 23 – September 22 |
| Virgo rising | Libra | September 23 – October 22 |
| Libra rising | Scorpio | October 23 – November 21 |
| Scorpio rising | Sagittarius | November 22 – December 21 |
| Sagittarius rising | Capricorn | December 22 – January 19 |
| Capricorn rising | Aquarius | January 20 – February 18 |
| Aquarius rising | Pisces | February 19 – March 20 |
| Pisces rising | Aries | March 21 – April 19 |
Sun-sign dates shift by a day in some years. Equal and Placidus houses can give a different answer near a cusp; the synastry calculator places every planet of both charts.

8 —
shared resources, exposure and what is not said aloud
House type
succedent
This house pairs with the 8th across the chart — shared resources, exposure and what is not said aloud — and the two work as one axis. A planet landing here looks straight across at that house, so the two readings belong together rather than separately.
It is a succedent house, which follows an angle and describes what accumulates there rather than what initiates. Its natural ruler is Venus, so a partner's Venus arriving here doubles the theme rather than adding a new one.
The 2–8 axis
Money, possessions and self-worth sits opposite shared resources, exposure and what is not said aloud. A planet in one faces the other across the chart, so an overlay here is always a statement about both — they affect what you consider yourself worth, and often what you spend; at the 8th-house end, they get access to the material you do not hand over casually — money, fear, sex.
