A Tip for Good Parenting From Your 2nd House
The 2nd and 7th house in your chart are considered as killer houses and in astrological language rishis called them “ Maraka Bhava”.
In Brihad Parashara Hora Sastra chapter 44 we can see that Sage Maitreya asking Sage Parshara about the Maraka house and the planets in it.

Sage Parashar says, Sehaj and Randhar ie, 3rd house and 8th house, respectively are the houses of longevity. Those houses from 12th from these houses are the killer houses. Those houses are 2nd and 7th houses, known as Maraka Bhav or Killer houses in astrology. The logic is clear, I will describe how it became killer houses. The 3rd house and 8th house, shows your mental and physical stability. The 3rd house shows your mental stability shows how you react to the events and whether you lose your mind easily when negative events take place. And from 3rd house, the 2nd house is 12 places away from it. Don’t go crazy, astrology works like that.
The natural zodiac wheel and houses comes like this. Aries is the 1st sign and Pisces is the 12th sign . Look at house(sign names) number three and count 12 houses in anti clockwise mode. Then you will reach house no 12.
This is the 2nd house
The 12th house from any house shows the losses from that house. If it is 1st houses, then its loses are counted from 12th house, if it is 2nd houses, then its losses are from the reasons related to the 1st houses. If its 3rd houses then 2nd house, 4th-3rd, 5th-4th 6th-5th, 7th-6th , 8th-7th, 9th-8th, 10th -9th ,11th-10th ,11th -10th ,12th -1st. I will explain easily with an example, 7th house is the house of conjugal pleasures and marital life its loss is counted primarily from the 6th house because 6th house denotes diseases of the body, enemies, enemical situations, these things can affect the direction of your marital life.So 6th house which is 12th from the 7th house shows the losses of the 7th house. Adding to that when 7th lord in the 6th house is a small indication of divorce too!!!!!
So, we are talking just about 2nd house and what Sage Parshara comments on it Maraka aka Killer effect.To be frank, his description is very very scary. I read it and when I first read it, I was sleepless for some days. LOL. But You should always follow astronomy if you are a skilled astrologer. Sky is not all the same as in Treta Yug. You should have an idea about psychology, local and international politics, cultural differences, ancient and new laws of the land(of various countries), and some interest in quantum physics. You have to have at least some knowledge about conspiracy theories like New World Order, Holocaust Revisionism, and The Reptilian Elite and of course about Nasdaq ,NSE, BSE or how they function. If you know about Brock Lesnar it is also good. It is also good to know who Shyla Jennings, Jessie Rogers or Tory Mason is and how that industry works. We can’t learn everything but when we are in counseling profession, we are supposed to know these things. I wanted to take the name of a few books which I read very often, but they are banned almost even though pdf versions are available. I don’t want to question anyone’s faith or convert their faith. You get some convictions at some point of life and that’s enough for all of us.
You want to be an astrologer you should have sound knowledge about various religions and their historical backgrounds because you can’t counsel a Muslim according to Hindu concepts or a Bahai by using Islam thoughts, you can’t counsel a Jew by using Ahammadiyan rules, You won’t be able to counsel a Buddhist through Marxian concepts, You can’t explain facts to a Catholic by using Hindu teachings. How can you counsel an Israeli and Palestinian with the same words? If you have an atheist client ( like my dad) all your astrology knowledge, especially, Vedic knowledge without a scientific and astronomical background will not help you at any cost. If you explain that concept these atheists will laugh at our precious knowledge which we got through our sheer Bhakthi , Nishta and Sadhna. Well, atheists can only ask questions, they never have an answer for most of the issues, but they also got a point. Planets don’t have any religion, they are just created by God, which have a certain amount of influence on us. Equally on the whole universe.
These are the areas which 2nd house carries
Artha – wealth
Bhukthi – food
Dhakashakshi – right eye
Annapana – if one eats or drinks
Nayana – eye
pathrika – document
Vak – speech
Kutumbha – family
Mangalam – auspicious ending
Sva – property
Asya – face
Represents wealth, family, livelihood, nourishment, male child, higher education, professional position, childhood , spouse, second marriage, longevity of marital life, valuable possession, liquid cash, earning capacity, financial status, fortune, prosperity, movable assets , vani , vision , face and its organs (nose, throat, mouth, tongue, teeth and eyes, especially the right one), facial bones, upper neck and its bones, gullet, larynx, cerebellum, trachea, cervical region and cervical bones, tonsils,
Look at these factors closely. These factors are those factors which water your entire life. Mainly the early life, your childhood. Go to your chart, and see which planet is ruling that house. Is that house has Moon, Jupiter, Mercury, and Venus? Moon, Jupiter, Mercury, and Venus are natural benefics. Or natural malefic Sun, Mars, Saturn, Rahu, and Ketu? There are exceptions depending on the ascendants.
If you have/had a 
tough childhood, most probably you have a malefic planet in that 2nd house. For those parents who read my columns, please check your children’s chart. Verify which planet is sitting in the 2nd house. If you see a malefic planet or malefic sitting with the benefic planet you can easily assume that you have to improve the mode of care you give to your child. I am telling you, this is a clear indication that your child is not getting enough nourishment from you. When you find it, confirm it by analyzing all the possible ways. This nourishment can be emotional, physical, mental, or spiritual. Watch your ways, how is your performance as a parent? You get drunk and lose yourself and forget your duties towards your family? Are you not saving enough for your family so that your children can be nourished health wise and are they happy with the material comforts which you are providing them? Leave your past feelings, you lived your life so far, now your past doesn’t count anymore for your kids. Your present matters for them. What are the traditional values you providing them? Are you showing them light or guiding them into the darkness through the examples you set? Are you saving enough for them? Are you giving them respect or are you treating them like dogs? Even though astrology doesn’t say much about Puthra Shaap, its common sense, that if you are not doing your right Karma in any relationship to flourish it, then your will have to pay for it. Then why should you make your children suffer? I have seen parents clinging on to their personal losses and worries and ignore their duties towards their kids.
During my life as a theology student, I was forcefully assigned in the children’s section where I never wanted to be. That too with infants from 6 months to 2 years. I was so angry with my teachers because I hated those running noses, baby poop and pee. God wanted to humble me , I guess, I was interacting with infants so closely for the first time in my life. Had to take care of these kids during the prayer service, when couples come for marriage counseling I had to baby sit, or when couples go out for a movie or picnic again the baby sitting sessions. I donno how many nappies I washed or cleaned how many poop. I was very unhappy and threw a lot of tantrums initially, but my teachers were not ready to leave me from that responsibility. I had to find happiness in being with them lately and after 4 years when I promoted to teen section , I did not want to go there because I just wanted to be with babies, babies and babies. That was a productive time in my life where I learned the meaning of sacrifice, poor help, charity, how being a mother and of course being a more baby like. Babies are precious and I really donno how can people abort , kill or torture the kids for their own pleasures.Its terrible and I have seen for what reason anyone hurts a child, he/she will not be able to enjoy that particular pleasure later on in their life. If a couple abort a child for their comfort, they will not get sukh from santhaan in the later stages in their life. If you are a mafia don runs a beggar network and kidnap babies from a mother, man, you are cursed ultimately. You think the materialistic pleasures can be attained from the pains of a poor soul, you will see your life turning to a hell before you leave the earth and your materialistic gains not coming to your rescue. If you have any doubts you please go and spend some time with a retired local mafia don. He will tell you how it works. This is the law of the universe , and this universe belong to the one and only creator. These laws are equal for you and me. And God is not my “Amma ka Bhai” to show favoritism on the base of my wealth and beauty. “The moment we break the rules of the universe, let us wait then for the set backs later.
Let us come back to the point.
The 2nd house is all about those things which water the childhood, those factors which can be the solid foundation where your child set up their royal kingdom. His pride, his wealth, his character, his career, his moral values, a status of his marital life, his confidence, and see how importance is this 2nd house is? If this house doesn’t get that nourishment which it deserves, this child will not be able to be productive his entire life. Those parents who have malefic planets in their 2nd house, please rewind their memories to their childhood. Haven’t you ever felt that you did not get that nourishment from your family and that damaged your life up to some extent? So when you see a malefic planet in your child’s 2nd house, please confirm you are sending the right signals to the child as a responsible parent. Find out what blocks you from giving your full nourishment to your child. Yes, we won’t be able to give that 100%, but still we can give a try to go an extra mile right? Or if you are a parent who is clinging on to your personal sorrows, let me enlighten you, maybe mingling more and working for your children’s happiness will be the best ever remedy for your happiness and success in your life.
Those who have malefic planets in your 2nd house, you guys need some hard work and be hard line on yourself. You didn’t get that strong foundation from your childhood, but you can always restart your life even at your deathbed. Just restart your life, yes, that happens when a bad planet in your 2nd house. At a later stage in your life, you get a realization that things are not going that well and you taking a decision to reverse your life for your success and you win! Even though you started little late, you getting success which is going to be there with you forever. How nice is that? So rise up and get the charge of your life. Don’t sit and cry,,,,,,, LOL. Water yourself and if your kids also need that feed, provide them too. Everything will be alright. Yes, Hope, that’s what we s
hould have, than all that stupid remedial suggestions.
You don’t have to go to psychologist , or a analyst if you find a malefic in the 2nd house of your child, that means your parenting needs to be improved. And that’s the power of astrology.
The 2nd house has so many other meanings also, but, I was reading more about child counseling , so this topic came to my mind. Please inbox your comments. When you teach your children don’t forget your past……. don’t be a hypocrite. Remember one more thing, their parents and your parents are different, so is their grandparents, their Karma and your Karma is different so is their destiny . Happy parenting !
