The generation shares Pluto's sign; the second house is where this native's compulsion actually operates. It operates on money. Resources are pursued with a seriousness that colleagues find excessive, and the pursuit has fear underneath it rather than greed — a conviction, formed early and rarely examined, that without holdings the native is defenceless. Poverty is not merely disliked; it is regarded as a threat to survival.
The talent is regenerative. Such natives rebuild after ruin, and usually do it more than once, arriving at sixty with a position that nobody watching their thirties would have predicted. They have an instinct for what is undervalued and the patience to hold it. Possessions are few but held with force, and the native knows exactly what is theirs and what somebody else has quietly assumed to be theirs.
The cost is the stripping. This placement loses things — savings, a business, a house — in episodes that arrive with the character of demolition, and each one takes the native down to the question of what remains when the holdings are gone. The lesson is offered repeatedly because it is rarely accepted. Control over money becomes control over people, and the native who pays for a household expects, without ever having said so, to be obeyed within it.
