The Second House is about resources, traditionally money. Now, it's nobody's damn business how much money I make, so that won't be a part of this page. Instead, I'll talk about my personal resources, the internal ones.
I own a number of virtues and vices, any of virtue of which can be considered a vice, and vice-virtue. That means I'm:
impulsive | distractible |
hyper-competent | impatient |
versatile | a dilettante |
adaptable | indecisive |
tenacious | obsessive |
a quick study | often frustrated |
amiable | overaccommodating |
versatile | over-committed |
a good leader | a poor teacher |
a steadfast friend | over-protective |
brilliant | literal-minded |
enthusiastic | intimidating |
educated | over-esoteric |
unassuming | self-effacing |
insightful | disparaging |
erudite | daunting |
I'm a catalyst. I walk into a situation and chances are it'll change, for good or ill, whether I plan it or not (usually for good; I suspect (or at least I hope) I'm just lucky that way).
Not too bad, I guess. Anyway, insofar as I'm pursuing the Great Work, these are the strengths that encourage me and the weaknesses that get in my way. They don't look particularly impressive on a resumé, it's true, but I find them useful to keep in mind.
