Okay, so I’ve been digging into this whole “Saturn in the second house” thing, and let me tell you, it’s been a journey. I wouldn’t call myself an astrology expert, but I’m all about self-improvement and understanding myself better. So, I started by, you know, Googling it. Found a bunch of stuff, some of it way over my head.
Basically, the second house is all about your resources – money, possessions, your sense of self-worth, and how you handle your finances. Saturn, on the other hand, is like the strict teacher of the zodiac. It’s about discipline, responsibility, limitations, and sometimes, delays.
So, Saturn in the second house? It can mean a few things. For me, it felt like a spotlight on my money anxieties. I’ve always been a bit of a worrier when it comes to finances, even when things are relatively stable. I started to see this pattern in my life, this underlying fear of “not enough.”
My Deep Dive
I started by tracking my spending. Not just in a, “Oh, I spent this much on coffee” way, but really digging into why I was spending. Was it a genuine need? Was it an emotional purchase? Was I trying to fill some kind of void?
- I used a simple spreadsheet. Nothing fancy. Just columns for date, item, cost, and a little note on why I bought it.
- I also started journaling about my feelings around money. When did I feel most anxious? When did I feel secure? What triggered those feelings?
- This journaling helps me to understand myself batter.
It was uncomfortable, to say the least. I realized I had some pretty ingrained habits of, like, “treating myself” a little too often, usually when I was stressed or feeling down. Small things, but they added up. It was less about the actual money and more about this underlying feeling of scarcity.
Then I started working on building better habits. Instead of immediately buying something, I’d give myself a “cooling off” period. Sometimes a day, sometimes a week. Often, the urge to buy just faded away. For example,I started setting small, achievable financial goals, like saving a certain amount each month or paying off a specific debt. It wasn’t about huge, sweeping changes, but about consistent, small steps. I wanted to prove to myself that I could be responsible with my resources.
It’s still a work in progress, honestly. I still have moments of anxiety, but now I have tools to deal with them. I can recognize the patterns, understand the triggers, and make conscious choices instead of just reacting. I’m learning to value myself outside of my financial situation, which, I think, is the biggest lesson of all.
It’s not magic, it’s work. But it’s my work, and I’m slowly but surely building a stronger foundation for myself, both financially and emotionally. Feeling pretty good about that, you know?
