Mercury in the 2nd House directs the planet's energy toward you and money. The house tells you where the planet expresses itself; how it does so depends on the sign it occupies.
How Mercury works in the 2nd house
Mercury favors trade and commerce. You'll be especially fortunate in work and business involving communications and information.
You're quick to spot the potential for a profitable deal and edge out competitors at the right moment. You bring the latest knowledge and a thorough grasp of the facts to business and negotiations.

What the 2nd house governs

The second house shows your financial outlook, sources of income, and spending habits. It also contains information about your aptitude for business, along with valuable financial advice: where you can most easily obtain money, where best to invest it, and so on.
