D2 chart - basics
D2 chart in vedic astrology is chart of wealth.
The chart will only have leo or cancer as ascendant/rising.
For odd signs ascendant in D1(Aries, Gemini, Leo, Libra, Sagittarius and Aquarius) if ascendant is below or at 15 degrees, D2 ascendant will be of Leo ascendant. And ascendant above 15 degrees will have cancer ascendant in D2 chart.
For Even signs ascendant in D1( Taurus, Pisces, Virgo, Capricorn, Cancer and Scorpio), if ascendant degree of D1 is below or at 15 degrees then D2 ascendant will be Cancer and for ascendant above 15 degrees , it will be leo rising in D1 chart.
For cancer rising in D2 all planets will be in either the 1st house or 2nd house. For Leo rising in D2 all planets will be in 1st and 12th house.
Some observations :
If ruler of 2nd house of natal chart sits with Jupiter or in the 1st house of D1 , person may earn independently.
If ruler of 2nd house of natal chart is in 2nd house of D2, person may get financial help from family or family may be wealthy.
If more planets sits in cancer, flow of incoming wealth is easy, but If there are more planets are in Leo person may have to work hard for the money.
Now just a thought, cancer rising of D2 may be more auspicious considering that in leo rising of D2 , cancer goes in to 12th house and more planets there would negate the above point given that the 12th house is not really a good house.
