You have ten planets that influence your personality traits, and the second most influential is your Moon. The Moon represents your inner thoughts, wishes, and dreams, everything that makes you who you are. For example, your past experiences (good and bad) are ruled by the Moon. In addition to what zodiac sign the Moon is in, there’s also a house sign. Together, the Moon, the zodiac sign, and the astrology house influence your overall zodiac sign personality.
Moon in 2nd house meaning
The second house is ruled by Venus, the planet that rules Taurus and Libra. Venus is about love, but she’s also all about our finances, material items, family, and what we value. It primarily deals with wanting security and possessions. Anything to do with material things we crave or want is housed under the second house. People with the Moon in the second house won’t feel emotionally secure until their finances are stable. Sometimes, the Moon in the second house indicates a change in wealth and financial situation; this can be good or bad depending on the situation and can just easily mean losing material things or money as it does gaining more.

They can appear cold, calculating, and detached to those who do not know them and often struggle with guilt as they battle their two natures, though they bend over backward to help those they love. Family and friends are everything to them (as well as a few of their favorite material things). They are never the first to bare their soul as their love is more something they show than tell.
4. Materialistic
