Dhana Bhava — wealth, family, speech, food, accumulated resources
Ketu in the house of family and accumulated wealth loosens the grip on both. Money is held lightly, sometimes to the point of carelessness, and attachment to the family of origin is weaker than the culture expects. Speech is spare — this placement rarely says more than it needs to.
The 2nd house is what you hold and how you speak, governing wealth, family, speech, food, accumulated resources. Ketu (Ketu) is a shadow planet — subtracting, dissolving, revealing and signifies detachment, moksha, past karma, insight; its drive is to renounce, to see through, and to finish unfinished karma.
The 2nd is an upachaya or neutral house, where results tend to improve with time and effort.
Three things modify this placement more than anything else: the sign Ketu occupies (see Ketu through the signs), the aspects it receives — Jupiter's aspect can rescue a difficult placement and Saturn's can sober an easy one — and the strength of the 2nd house lord. Read this as one factor, not a verdict.
