I like this definition- from truenode.org

Traditionally, the north node in 2nd house, also known as the Dragon’s Head in the Second House, brings personal fortune, luck in business, and an accumulation of wealth. It might also portend a strong marriage, rich in love and intellectually stimulating. Dragon’s Tail in the Eight House is associated with abuse of the lower passions and perhaps the strange death of a partner or relative.

For those with North Node in 2nd House, this is a lifetime about personal possessions and resources. The universe will no longer support you in relying on other people’s money. Your destiny is to become self-sufficient with all that this entails: living within your means, taking care of your body, and developing endurance. As a general rule, shy away from credit and offers to use a partner’s resources. The finances of others may prove troublesome for you in this lifetime.

As you learn to live within your means, you may swing to extremes, alternating between frugality and extravagance. Perhaps you work hard to obtain a possession that is meaningful to you, but then give or gamble it away. You may resort to a sort of laziness, relying on luck to provide for you. Interestingly, the great communist theorist, Karl Marx, who proposed that all citizens of the nation should share equally in its wealth, had the north node in 2nd house node placement. As did Ho Chi Minh. Without commenting on the validity of communism as a legitimate economic model, suffice it to say that such thinking is not for you. Take your inspiration from Helen Keller, Benjamin Franklin, and Mohammed Ali, who all share the north node in 2nd house nodal placement and strove diligently to become self-sufficient.

Past life experience has given you knowledge of the occult, for which you have a natural talent. You also have a sort of hangover preoccupation with sex. Be vigilant of your motivations, as well, for you are prone to acting on base motives which you may hide from even yourself. In fact, says astrologer Martin Schulman of someone with this placement, “while many may know him closely, none will know him well,” such is the depth of secrecy associated with the Eighth House, home to your South Node.

You come into this life with a strong connection to the dark side. Perhaps you feel you lived on the outskirts of society as a child. Maybe there were past lives of criminal behavior or misuse of occult knowledge. In this lifetime, your soul’s desire is to live a respectable life. You are here to develop a sense of those things that are truly important to you and to obtain them honorably.

Death is an important part of life for you, much more so than for most people. You may find in it, as you do in sex, a rejuvenating energy. In fact, this placement can bring posthumous fame. However, it is difficult for you to be completely conscious of your connection to this energy. In probing the values of others (which you do with an eye on establishing your own value system), you unconsciously lead them astray. You do not know it, but you undermine almost everything you touch. At your worst, you are a claim jumper, with so little invested in yourself and with so little respect for others, that you claim what is theirs as your own without even realizing it. You may also be subject to extreme moodiness, which is a way of undermining yourself. Develop self-respect and you will simultaneously learn to respect others. This will bring you emotional stability.

People with this placement may not have experienced privacy in their childhood. Circumstances in their early life left them feeling that they had nothing to call their own. The adult is preoccupied with financial security which s/he associates with harmony and peace. It is appropriate for you to be focused on material comforts in this lifetime, and you will find yourself fully engaged and passionate about life when you acknowledge your personal needs and go about meeting them with a patient, consistent, determination. Build a beautiful physical environment for yourself first, then share your security according to your values.

The bottom line is that, with the north node in 2nd house placement, you must learn to manage your personal resources. Do not use all your energy on others. Earn what you need and spend less than you make. Build your physical strength. Eventually you will build the stability and security you do desperately desire.

I've been in personal debt since 18, I'm 28 now and trying my best to get out of it. Not good debt either, I literally have nothing to show for it.

Part of it was lack of patience, I wanted what everyone else had (travel, nice car) but I didn't have the skills to handle money correctly, so I've had a job since I was 14, been at school or uni my pretty much my whole adult life as well. My parents never really instilled in me life skills regarding anything, thinking that sending me to a good school and feeding/clothing me was suffice.

When I was younger I used to borrow money off everyone and never pay it back, especially my parents. I had no concept of the value of money. To me being RICH was never of importance although I do love the finer things in life. Perhaps that's my problem. I would never live within my means, I went to a wealthy private girls school where everyone came from money. I felt I had to prove my social standing by buying designer clothing etc.

I used to always rely on my boyfriends, expecting them to provide me with the life I wanted. I've had two long term relationships - 1; 5 years and the other 3 years. I ended up leaving both of them when I realised the guy wasn't going to follow and help me along with my dreams that included moving away or provide me with the financial stability I craved.

Finally about a year and a half ago I took control of my life. I left the 3 year boyfriend, moved to a city where I knew no one all by myself, got my own place, went back to uni full time. I've struggled endlessly to make ends meet in my new life but I've never once asked anyone for money and it feels amazing.

I have so many goals in life but I've realised how much I've sabotaged myself by my lack of patience and poor handling of money. It's not that I've never had money, I've earned so much money over the years and wasted it all.

Personal comforts has been a constant struggle. I've always had to share with other the things I've busted my butt to earn, with a lot of reluctance. I've been called greedy, selfish, etc. Its not like I don't want to share my material possessions, but it's just that it ****** me off to hell and back when it 1) gets forcefully taken away, or 2) people use my possessions irresponsibly I.e. they break it or gamble away the money they take from me.

First of all my ex boyfriends brother stole my bmw and crashed it when I wasn't home. Never repaid properly for that.

My best friend took things of mine and 'lost' them or 'by accident' which spelt the end of our friendship.

The North node is recurring sign posts in ones life. It does not necessarily mean ones direction but if conjunct the personal planets, it can most certainly turn to be.

These sign posts are never-ending; especially after the age of 30,when the individual sees little choice in avoiding them and decides to follow where they lead.

They do not "force" themselves to her/him,but are always pointing the direction where self realization is most likely to be.

The North Node in 2nd is not an easy placement. As the 2nd house is about blood,sweat and tears.

What you "earn" out of effort and therefore what is considered "valuable" to you is all the 2nd house:This could be money, position, promotion, material things, marriage etc.

So people with strong 2nd house emphasis (especially in the signs of Taurus/Leo/Scorpio/Cancer/Aries) are likely to be possessive and not part easily with things they acquired through 2nd house efforts.

When the North node(the sign posts throughout ones life) is in the 2nd house. We find that much of the individuals self-realization may lie with material gains,security and all things tangible.

If the North node is in Taurus(the above is most likely to be true). Gains may come through physical effort(sometimes hard work if Mars/Saturn or Pluto are in Taurus or aspect the Nodal axis) and creating something beautiful with creative talents.

This could mean building something tangible from scratch.Material possessions are strongly emphasized- as is the 5 senses as this person sees the material world(Taurus) as valuable(2nd)

If the North node is in Libra, relationships are not likely to be smooth sailing-especially if Aries, Scorpio, Leo are therein .

The individual will have to go through a lot of in-fighting, separation and learning to reconcile two "incompatible" parts into a cohesive unit.

These people will consider working relationships, marriage and the smoothing out of differences very much valuable(Libra 2nd).

If the North node is in fiery Leo, putting the self 1st is likely to be a mission and met with great opposition.

Words like "selfish", "conceited", "self-promoting" are likely to be used against the person when they do this.

And if the Libra, Aquarius,Pisces or Virgo are found in the chart, they may find it very difficult to follow where this path leads.

They usually consider self-confidence and the ability for one to project themselves with authority(Leo) as something valuable(2nd house)

I'm 23, just no getting on my feet, I have entrepenur dreams that I know will be hard to accomplish. Does not mean it isn't doable.
I finally stopped relying on my mother, and learning to accomplish and work hard as an adult. As capricorn is represented by the goat: Slo and steady wwins the race.

The one part described in that passage really got to me:
“while many may know him closely, none will know him well,”

Only recently, at the age of 24 did I get into CC debt by investing into my partner and my mineral business to get it started. (although I did owe a few hundred before that for personal spending)

Before I left my dad's house, he was pushing me to be independent and didn't want me driving his vehicles much. It felt urgent for me to leave.

I recently just got a fine for "soliciting" aka panhandling (which I never did until I met my current partner. we've tried to live off our business as much as possible but ran out of money as we are making our way to AZ from NH for the winter) Before that happened.. We had just gotten $200 from ONE person at another location. But I was whining to my partner about our credit card debt and how it's overdue -again-. So we stopped again when we should have just continued with what we had.

Every time I've ever saved up to a thousand or two thousand $, it's dissapeared very quickly until I was starting from square 1 again.

I definitely feel a struggle to be financially independent..

Additionally, it seems that my North Node is a good indicator of why I seem to desire a position of authority. It's always been weird to me that I want to be recognized as a major source of information on a subject, but my North Node seems to explain why that desire is a thing.

As far as my financial situation goes, I've actually learned to manage money more responsibly by having a fixed income. It sounds like a good way to stay financially dependent. However, I don't plan to remain on a fixed income forever. Having a fixed income has just helped me get into the habit of using my money wisely. On the other hand, I still live with my parents, so I don't really pay bills yet. All I have is a cell phone bill. I'm confident that I'd have a much harder time making my money last if I had to live independently. After paying bills, I wouldn't be left with that much. Generally though, I am good with money. Now I just have to get to the point of being able to make my own. Eventually, I should be able to avoid needing a fixed income. Regardless, it'll still be a while before then.

I don't have any specific stories to tell that relate to my North Node placement. Most of what I can say is I've dealt with a lot of health-related issues and obstacles knocking me down and keeping me in a position of dependence as a result. My primary goal lately is to stabilize my mental and physical health so that I can better commit to following through with my ambitions. Another thing I can say is I think I handle this North Node position much better than a lot of people with this placement. I believe my chart being heavily dominated by the Earth element has something to do with this.

The only person who can support me financially is me myself, and my strong need for independence. I will travel cause of job next year and live outside my country for some time. Hm, ruler of 6th house Mars is in 9th, another indicator.
