Dhana / Kutumb / Vani Bhava

2nd House – Dhana / Kutumb / Vani Bhava

Wealth, family, voice, possessions, values, and communication.

Second House (Dhana) in Astrology: Kutumbha-Bhava / कुटुम्भ-भाव

The Second House is about धन (wealth), कुटुम्ब (family), and वाणी (speech). It reveals savings, lineage, values, face/voice, food habits, early learning, and how you store resources.

Key words:
कुटुम्ब (kutumba) = family
धन (dhana) = wealth
कुल (kula) = clan / lineage
शुक्रगृह (śukra-gṛha) = Venus house

Simple line: Dhana Bhava (Second Bhava) is Kutumb Bhava — your family and what you own. It explains wealth, values, and how sweet or strong your speech is.
