The 2nd House Domain
The Wealth & Speech (Dhana Bhava) governs accumulated wealth, family of origin, speech, food, face, early education. When well-placed, it delivers savings, a supportive family, and speech that people trust. When afflicted, it can produce wealth that slips away, family friction, or speech that creates enemies.
