Second house

The times of the Stone are indicated says d Espagnet, by the Philosophical and Astronomical Water. The first White work, must be finished in the house of the moon the second in the second house of Mercury. The first work in the Red in the second domicile of Venus, and the second or last, in the house of exaltation of Jupiter for, from him our King must receive his scepter and his crown, ornamented with precious rubies. ... 

The first house begins at nine o clock and extends counterclockwise to eight o clock, the second house begins at eight o clock and goes to seven o clock, and so on. 

Sun in the second house You re practical, persistent, interested in money, and skilled at judging the value of things. Your possessions reflect your deeper values. Achieving financial stability gives you great satisfaction. 

Having an empty house of marriage, for example, doesn t mean that you ll always be single. Just ask Elizabeth Taylor, who has had eight husbands (so far), despite the fact that her seventh house is totally vacant. Similarly, an unoccupied second house of money doesn t mean you re destined for poverty. Look at Bill Gates, the youngest self-made billionaire in history. His second house is empty (as is his eighth house, which is also associated with money). 

The position of that planet tells you a great deal. In Andy Warhol s case, Virgo, the sign on the cusp of his second house, is ruled by Mercury. It can be found in flamboyant Leo — a perfect placement for an artist who literally painted money. 

By assuming parallels between the houses and the signs, so that the first house is equivalent to Aries, the second house to Taurus, and so on, you can classify the houses in revealing ways, as in Table 14-4. To consider your chart in this way, count how many planets you have in each trio of houses. 

For an example, turn to Chapter 13 and take a look at Oprah Winfrey s chart. With three planets in the second house, one in the sixth house, and two in the tenth, a majority of her planets are in the houses of substance, which might help explain how an idealistic Aquarian got to be one of the richest... 

For example, a person who has no planets in earth signs lacks practical abilities (and will have to struggle to make up for that lack). The presence of planets in the second, sixth, and tenth houses can counteract that inability by providing motivation. Such placements can t turn an aspiring poet into an accountant with an investment portfolio and a 401(k). But they can stimulate the poet to find some form of security (from planets in the second house), to get organized (from planets in the sixth house), and to seek public recognition (from planets in the tenth house). 

Second house A money-maker someone for whom values are primary... 

Say, for example, that you have Leo rising — that is, Leo on the cusp of your first house. When the Moon is in that sign, it s traveling through your first house. Once it swings into Virgo, it enters your second house. And so on. 

Moreover, Kirchmoser became the location of three out of four research departments of the Reichsbahn and of the Central School, where the upper grades of the Reichsbahn civil servants were trained. In the following years, the various Reichsbahn plants and institutions attracted many people. The number of inhabitants rose quickly, and reached more than 5000 in 1939 (compared with 1000 in 1918). The Reichsbahn completed the housing estate of the former powder plant and developed a second housing estate east of Kirchmoser, close to the old village. 

The bill now goes through similar stages in the other House. If the second House amends the bill it is returned to the first House for consideration. If the Lords reject a bill for two sessions it may receive the Royal Assent without the Lords agreement. Practically, the Lords can delay a bill for a maximum of one year. 

It is very likely that the ECs used in the house of quality will need to be translated into other requirements. A useful way to do this is to use the ECs from this first house as the inputs to a second house, whose output might be cost or parts to accompHsh the ECs. It is not unusual to have a sequence of several houses of quality, as shown in Fig. 23.19. 

The second House bill, the Securities Litigation Reform Act, designed to limit suits by shareholders alleging fraud against companies whose stock price had dropped and setting standards forbidding reckless statements to deceive investors, was approved shortly thereafter. This bill would have httle effect on the plastics industry.
