The purpose of the first-house progression is to test those new wings. You are crafting a new self and learning how to use that self in new situations. It’s quite likely that you are not sure where you’re going yet, but even if you do have a sense of your new direction, that doesn’t mean …
In astrology, the second house is often thought of narrowly as relating to money: whether or not you have any and how you should go about getting it or spending it.
