It is widely believed that what we eat directly influences the quality of life we live which is true as when we talk about food from the astrology point of view, it is seen from Moon and the 2nd house of the birth chart is related to food as well.
2nd House is also the “Dhana” bhava meaning the house of wealth, also called as “Hari” bhava meaning the house of Vishnu because Vishnu is the one who provides us sustenance, He is the one who can maintain our life on this planet while Lord Brahma has the energy of creation and Lord Rudra has the energy of destruction. So the 2nd house sustains us and is also eleventh from the fourth house of comforts, happiness and home, so becomes the house of gains for the 4th house as well. So it is very important to maintain the 2nd house if one wants to have a good standard of living.
Jupiter is the significator of the 2nd house and Jupiter is the planet of expansion, so the 2nd house becomes very important in terms of wealth & health because it is the house that sustains the ascendant which is our self and is also the house that is connected to the capacity of wealth that we can store.
So, if we include the rasa (taste) of the 2nd house in our chart we are providing sustenance to our own self and also activating the house of wealth which also activates the houses of our work as the 2nd house is the dharma of the 6th house and the 10th house is the dharma of 2nd house thus we are strongly activating the houses 2-6-10 the artha trikona houses of wealth, career & work.
Now there are “rasas” meaning tastes which connect to the planets and even the nodes Rahu & Ketu are connected to certain type of foods.
For example your ascendant is the sign of Taurus, so the second house will have the sign Gemini and the planet ruling Gemini is Mercury, so a Taurus ascendant wanting to increase his wealth and also maintain his health and intelligence should consume the food or the taste related to Mercury on regular basis.
Now we know what one can consume but what about what one should not consume, so always avoid the food or the taste related to the planet in the eight house or the eight lord as the eight house is a maraka house to the second house, so let us take for example that one has Jupiter in the 8th house and Jupiter is the Jeeva and also a Sattva Guna planet, so one should avoid non vegetarian food which will also help to improve Jupiter in the chart as Jupiter in 8th house is not considered auspicious.
So this is a very simple remedy yet very impactful with which one can have a solid financial well being and also maintain his health & intelligence as the ascendant is given the sustenance it needs.
Vedic Astrology enthusiasts can research on the various tastes related to the planets, I have not mentioned them as this is a remedy which is only given in my paid consultations and those who want to strengthen and improve their financial conditions can book a consultation with me from my website or by messaging me on Instagram, both links given below.
