When Neptune transits the 2nd house your need for transcendence and imagination influences your material resources, self-worth and values. Neptune inspires new dreams and dissolves old structures and represents your need to spiritualise and refine this area of your life.
When Neptune transits the 2nd house you may experience inspiration and confusion with your money and finances, how you earn a living, your possessions and resources, and feelings of security. You could earn a living from Neptunian professions, such as creativity and the arts, religion or spiritual work, healing, selling alcohol or drugs, or anything associated with water.
How this transit affects you will depend on your previous attitude towards money and possessions, your feelings of self-worth and what you value. You may dream of increasing your wealth or finding your ideal home or job and then become disillusioned when it fails. Or you could succeed in manifesting your dreams only to realise they don’t make you happy.
You may feel confused about how to earn a living or have unrealistic ideas about what’s possible. You could be too disorganised or unfocused or struggle with blurred boundaries that leave you open to deception over money. Be especially careful when signing contracts or making investments and don’t get involved in anything that promises the moon on a stick.
The point of this transit is to dissolve what has become too fixed or anything you’re too attached to. The more you cling to something because you think you need it for security, the more likely Neptune will dissolve it. Your worldly security may be undermined in order to awaken you to the source of your real security and self-worth – your deeper or higher Self.
This allows you to develop faith in life so you can trust that what you need will be provided. That doesn’t mean you have to give up all your worldly goods. Not holding onto something doesn’t mean you’ll lose it – you just carry it more lightly, with open hands instead of an iron grip.
Ultimately this transit is about spiritualising your values and attitude towards wealth. You won’t find transcendent bliss by accumulating more stuff or financial security. But you can find inner security by aligning with spiritual values. You can also develop Neptunian inner resources of compassion, sensitivity, spiritual insight, visionary imagination and mysticism.
Possibilities with Neptune transiting the 2nd House:
- Searching for your dream home or job
- Earning money from your imagination and creativity
- Working as a healer
- Developing your psychic sensitivity
- Finding real inner security and self-worth
- Letting go of unnecessary worldly attachments
Watch out for:
- Disillusionment with worldly success
- Confusion over money or work
- Get-rich-quick schemes
- Loss of money or possessions due to theft or deception
- Self-sabotage that leads to loss
- Loss of material security
My notes:
Neptune entered my 2nd house in 2021 and stays there until 2041, from age 50 to 70. This is a huge house in my chart because I use the Koch system so it runs from 20° Pisces to 5° Taurus with Aries intercepted, making a 20-year transit in total.
Neptune was actually sitting on the cusp of my 2nd house from April to August 2020 during the opening salvo of the covid madness when we had lockdowns, food shortages, and ‘free’ money being handed out. For me this created a bubble of delusion when the traffic to my website surged and drove an increase in donations and sales. It marked the start of a couple of years of growth that made me believe my financial situation was improving. A false hope, as it turned out.
In 2023 Google made an algorithm change that cut this site off at the knees and traffic halved overnight, followed by donations and sales. I’m now back to where I was about five years ago, limping along and feeling increasingly disillusioned with the entire enterprise. Neptune giveth and Neptune taketh away!
So now I’m searching for another job and coming up with all sorts of ideas for how to make more money. None of them seem very realistic and I don’t trust my judgement (Neptune is currently opposite my Mercury in the 8th house). It would be so much easier if I was willing to grift and tell people what they want to hear but unfortunately, I have principles.
The situation is forcing me to look at what I really value and where I put my faith. There’s an inner reckoning taking place and I don’t know where it leads. But it’s mirrored in my sudden desire to throw out all the crap I’ve accumulated over the years so I can travel lighter…

My 2nd House starts at 22 Aquarius and ends at 2 Aries, so you can imagine how long Neptune has been there for me. On top of that, Saturn is in there right now too. For years, I have had a tremendously rocky career history with wild fluctuations in employment and income, along with multiple long breaks in between jobs. My resume is a disaster, to say the least. I have been so confused about what to do for work and to earn money that it’s absolutely unbelievable. I must have gotten unemployment benefits at least 4 times while Neptune was/is in my 2nd House. I still live at home with my mother for support, and I fortunately have a nice amount of savings where I can literally not work and pay for all living expenses for 2 years until my account empties out, which is nice. But the feeling of not being productive and not knowing what to do with my life is torture. Neptune will definitely do this to you. It can dissolve away your income and frankly get you fired by sabotage, and this is exactly what happened to me just last year….
What really made Neptune in Pisces in my 2nd House blow up was the fact that I had a job last year in the medical field that paid the highest salary I’ve ever made. Turns out that the employer committed fraud by misrepresenting my entire job, and I was supposed to be in a higher salary range. They basically put a different job title, qualifications, and salary for the same type of work just so they can save money and hire someone quickly because they couldn’t find certified people. When I complained about my salary, I was retaliated against and fired only about a week later on a false reason, so now I am suing them BIG for fraud, retaliation, and other causes of action. Although they gave me back pay, they still refused to put me in the proper salary range and demoted my duties before firing me. This is quintessential Neptune in Pisces in the 2nd House. Neptune and Pisces = fraud, 2nd House = money/salary. There it is. People can fraudulently play around with your salary, including corrupt employers.
So the trial is scheduled for March 2026, and we have very clear and convincing evidence that we will win, no question about it. The company will be punished severely, and they have a very high net worth (being a private medical corporation). Astrologically, this will be a significant time for me because Saturn will be conjunct Neptune at 1 Aries, and both of them will be at the tail end of my 2nd House, literally conjuncting the cusp of my 3rd House, so those heavy hitters will be on their way out of my money house. On top of that, the Sun, North Node, Mars, Venus, and Mercury will all be transiting my 2nd House during the trial, so I’ve got a lot of 2nd House ($$$) activity going on in early March.
And here’s some more significant activity: Before the trial date even happens, there will be a series of lunar/solar eclipses (two in September 2025 this year, one in February 2026, and one on March 3, 2026 while my trial is going on!). ALL of these eclipses will fall in my 2nd/8th House axis (the MONEY axis involving my personal wealth and that of other people, like companies).
So you tell me…am I destined for a substantial amount of money to come from this lawsuit, according to the astrology? I am inclined to say yes. What say you, Ms. Davidson? Do you concur?

I would also suggest you to create a live webinar where you teach astrology. Maybe even record those and sell them as an online course, without your imput being needed in the future. There are a lot of platforms for online courses, like mastermind, udemy etc. But still, I think a live one with multiple participants would be the best option.
But, of course, we can suggest a lot of things, but the most important thing with Neptune (and in general) is to go deep within your spirit and find the real answers. Our spirit is our inner compass. And then ask your minds – mind, is this feasible, is this the right thing to do for me? Should I give it a try? It’s not easy, but this is the most reliable solution I found over time. Mind and heart walking together on the same path.
Wish you and your readers all the best, Jessica!

Don’t worry, Jessica. It will get better. Neptune entered my second house in 2010 and now, in around 2 years, will be out of it.
The first thing that happened to me was to be robbed of my salary by my employer. He promised me the moon and he was my first employer. Never was I so taken advantage of. Confusion continued, I even wanted to take my own life in 2012. Luckily, I went to a therapist for a year. I analyzed heavily my interests and talents and decided to take webdesign and SEO classes in 2016. In 2018 I started my first job in ecommerce. Bad pay, bad management and after 1,5 years I arrived at a global online corporation that sells pet food. I’m already 5 years now here and the company has turned into a bad one, as it was sold. I feel very invisible now and not very happy, but I work remote (for the last 5 years), and by now I have my values in life very clearly designed. I know that what I want is to teach people about how this world really works (with all of us and the living life being ONE) and take the veil out from they eyes. I also have Neptune on my AC, at 8 degrees, in the 12th house, so I am extremely spiritual and compassionate by default (I also have Jupiter in the 1st house). In 2017, a psychic psychologist asked me to pick 3 cards to show my lifepath. I picked Leadership, Environmentalist and Animal Fighter and Author. That was also the year I went vegan, a baby pigeon become my pet and the year I started to meditate and communicate with spirits (some of them being very mean and my cat starting to get sick at that time, I interrupted the practice for 3 years. I restarted it in 2020 with a strong inner knowledge at that time that I can bypass these mean spirits and only communicate with the ones that have my higher interests – like my spirit guides, beloved pets that died etc – which indeed happened, I now know how to bypass lost or mean spirits that don’t have my higher interest at heart)
I’m already writing my first articles and I decided to cut my salary by 5%, in order to have a day per month free. I also don’t go in holidays, in order to be able to have a free day per week. In this free day I write the articles and channel from my spirit guides. I also bought a course for creating sites, as to have a backup plan for when I will renounce my current job.
During Neptune’s transit in the second house, I became profficient in astrology (your articles helped me alot, just to let you know, you are one of a kind astrologer), numerology, meditation, English and spirituality. I really wanted to know myself and my true values in life during this transit. I really wanted to know why I came here and what I needed to do here. I now consider myself a Leader, Enviromentalist and Animal Fighter and Author, exactly as the cards in 2017 showed. I also have Pluto transiting my first house for the last 15 years, so this has also helped with the transformation.
it’s not easy, but I know my spirit is on my side, I know the thousands animals I helped in previous life are here by my side, cheering me to go on, I know my spirit guides are proud of me and are here. So, what I learned in this transit was that my true strenght (the only thing I can rely on) relies in God, my spirit, my spirits team – the spirits I loved during all my previous lives and my guides that are silently here supporting me.

Hi Jessica,
thank you for your post! It finds me sitting here wondering how the heck I’ll ever be able to handle this Neptne business more gracefully. Most people are blaming Saturn or Pluto for their hard times, but for me it’s really Neptune which has been menacing my 2nd house since 2006 and will be an unwelcome guest until 2029 – which is my mid-20s to 50, yay!
I very much relate to your analysis about the giving and taking of monies and how it relates to finding your inner values. I do have to say though that I would have been totally fine with not making this particular growth experience. Years into this transit, I still feel deeply confused by the ups and downs of it. Regular financial gain seems to be elusive or happens for no particular reason at all. I did find some inner resources and am not as hung up about financial hard facts anymore, but fun it is not!
Thank you for this post, especially for sharing your own experience. May you and others have a more positive time with ol’ Nep.

better options?! i gave up on it a t first, cause i didn’t get it, and i find that booth atheists, and religious hate it. i’ve found nothing better now that i ” got” it. and am doing it.
have you done it? just asking, cause most hate it/dismiss it without, and i realise now that it’s kind of designed to really undo the mind first.
i’m glad i watched /read so much michael mirdad , and alan cohen before i was finally ready , on lesson 58 now. not far in , it really takes of after 30.
i was thinking about i, for you, because abundance is a big thing.
we so often think/feel that to be spiritual mean poor/no sex ectr. nunnery.
ACIM would say, in a nut shell ” seek first the kingdom/god first” then all else follows/you’re taken care of.
though not in the crazy ”get rich manifestation” sense you sometimes see in new agey/or fundy circles.
abundance meaning having enough of everything .
also safety.
anyways.

I tried reading it years ago and hated its tone, the pseudo-Christianity. It’s like a lot of ‘channeled’ texts that on the surface appear to be profound but don’t really say much or are actually misleading. The whole thing comes across as a cult – to me.
Various people have criticised and deconstructed why it’s a problem. Morten Tolboll says it inverts the teachings of Christ: https://mortentolboll.weebly.com/a-course-in-miracles-acim—the-matrix-dictionary.html
Charles Upton in ‘The System of Antichrist’ deconstructs many New Age systems including ACIM. He says there’s some truth in it but also many metaphysical errors. It’s essentially gnostic and dualistic.
I agree – seek God first – but you don’t need ACIM for that!

no, you don’t need ACIM to put god first, it’s just the best thing i’ve found.

I don’t believe Helen Schucman was channeling Jesus – that’s my first problem. I wouldn’t believe anybody making that claim.
Gnosticism generally tends to refer to the belief that the world is fallen or broken but it’s not. It’s a manifestation of God – the true non-dual perspective.
Maybe the best summary of my position on ACIM is here: https://www.enlightened-spirituality.org/ACIM_critique.html They cover the joyless tone too – something I remember thinking at the time when reading it. Where’s the joy? It felt off.

if this world were a manifestation of god then all the critique of god allowing war, torture, natural disasters, illness, death would be true.

it’s only joyless until it gets past our ego conditioning of creating what you just claimed god creates.#
then it gets very joyful.
i couldn’t get on with it either, until recently. + the language is from an earlier time. omg, liz greene’s in her saturn book!!!
shucman was very resistant to the whole thing. she would have preferred to be insane.
