Driven
Saturn is primed to work, in the second house of Taurus and putting down strong roots. A sense of drive, and being willing to make sacrifices and persevere leads to success. Traditional astrology lines you up for what's tangible, has "real" value. Your Saturnian instincts draw you into real estate, working with land, construction/contracting, apprenticeship/crafts or mastery of an art form.

Other possibilities take you into owning a business, architecture/landscape architect, engineering, interior design, catering, being a restauranteur, starting a microbrewery, a boutique, a salon, an herbal products or aromatherapy line. Venus is strong here, but given form, structure, definition.

The drive is to create substance, in work and at home. You want visible proof of what you've accomplished. This might be a comfortable home with all the fine furnishings. Or to reach a level of net worth that allays your fears of not having enough.

As we know, Saturn can be a taskmaster that gets out of hand. All work and no play is no fun, and leads to burn-out, resentment, stress, and ill health. You get worn down. Some with this Saturn labor under the assumption they're on their own. Look for collaborators, to share the work and the rewards.
Money Fear
Saturn's way is one of effort and facing what we fear. A second house Saturn can fear lack and poverty, even if the coffers are full. You might sell your soul for security or a big paycheck.

Or work hard at jobs that deny you full expression, or that feel punishing, and wear you down. The fears of Saturn can keep in jobs at odds with your true life purpose.

Where does this come from? It's one of the mysteries of Saturn and its teachings in our lives. Look to Taurus' ruler Venus in your chart, for more ease, pleasure, ways to enhance well-being. Is there a way to work hard at what you love?
Your Personal Values
The second house and Taurus are about personal values. This house is directly across the eighth house, which is values of the other. Saturn in this house means your standards are high, and you want to do things your way. There's a strong sense of self-reliance, and push to make the most of your natural gifts.

Your great need to be established, and build up a strong, solid base, can lead to being inflexible and resistant to change. There can be a fear of losing what you have, if you're not in control of it. But as you relax that fear, you find joy in sharing what you've created, and being at peace with what you've manifested in life.
