I’m not sure how greed/happiness correlate. Its a complex question. On the one hand if you’re greedy you always want more/are more prone to dissatisfaction, on the other you have the thrill when you get what you want Whoo! Yay!

I have Chiron in Taurus, Venus in Sagittarius in the 12th, my second house is ruled by Capricorn, (no planets) and saturn cnj Jupiter in the ninth. I can be very greedy at times but I give a lot of stuff away too.

i don’t know how to answer that. greed as a word has negative connotations but i assume we’re talking about wanting more money and possessions…but that’s kinda like asking if violence is bad. it can be, y’kno? or it can be used for positive ends.

i do like to have money and stuff, yeah. sun and pluto in my second in virgo. money allows me to do helpful things for myself and others. uranus cusping- money buys freedom.

am i willing to hurt others to get it? no. am i appreciative of what i have-hell yes! so is that greedy or not? i dunno. i don’t want to take from others what they have. matter of fact, it makes me happy to see others have, too. i just like having as well…

relationships, comfort, art and beauty. i can live without a lot of things but i am happy that i do not have to. i have a lot of empathy for people that do not have a lot. i am charitable. i have learned to celebrate the success of others. i try and remember to not compare myself to others, because there will always be greater and lesser persons than myself. having wealth does not necessarily make you a better person, sometimes the opposite is true. i remind myself that there is no wealth but life. my work involves teaching others about finances and making financial plans. it also involves hiring and training others, so that they can teach others about finances. there are a lot of honourable professions out there and i feel my profession is an honourable one. the gift to me is helping others which gives me a sense of purpose and affords me a comfortable lifestyle. it also forces me to be out there in the world living and learning. i do not think that it is greed to provide for yourself, your family and others, but i am very cognizant of my good fortune. i am very grateful. most of us in the western world are so very fortunate. i am also proud of some of my friends and family who have gone above and beyond the call of duty and volunteer in such places as africa helping women and children with aids. there comittment is incredible! i support them with my heart and soul and cash. i am sorry that this comment has a beginning, a middle and no end. i guess what i am saying is that i think that it is ok to strive for wealth and comfort, but it should include helping others and giving back. and when i retire from this career i will wear tie-dye shirts, swim in the sea, sleep in the afternoon, grow flowers and vegetables, write and paint somwhere near hornby island.

Cappy Moon in 2nd. I can be a bit greedy.

I appreciate anything that is beautiful but don’t need to have it as my possession….what I am greedy about is my time with my family…and extremely possessive about that. I have Libra in my 2 house square my cap stellium in the 5 house. I do have a rich love of life and love sharing that with others. One of my biggest challenges is the fact that my husband is a workaholic and I keep telling him that we have plenty and don’t NEED anything else except ourselves. And, I don’t see that it is greed that drives his working habits….that is innate in him….Virgo/Gem/Scor…he lives to work, hopefully this will change when Saturn goes into Libra!!! Crossing my fingers!!!

Toni, you got that right. in fact they tend to claim they are generous every chance they get, I think it’s hysterical.

Moon 2nd house in Pisces… not greedy. I’m with denamarie, I love beautiful places and things, but I’d rather admire and enjoy others’ beautiful things and places, rather than owning them. I totally understand Elsa’s statement about ‘wanting as little as possible.’

…and Sun & North Node in Taurus

Sun & Mercury in 2nd house…. yeah I’m greedy. Or at the very least I’m quite possessive about my “things”. Never was aware of this until moved in with younger brother, then his wife & her uncle pointed it out to me. Now I try to make it clear that it’s OK to use something of mine….. just make sure to put it back. I, ummm, tend to “flip out” when I can’t find something of mine.

Barely greedy at all. My second house is intercepted. Half is taurus, the other half Gemini. Saturn sits on Gemini in the 2nd square sun/venus conjunction in the 6th. I seem to always have enough. I’ve never really felt that I needed much. I really don’t think I deserve more than I need. Luckily, I have Jupiter in the 8th conjunct neptune, so money seems to pop up when I need it, but like I said it’s always just enough. Never more than I need.

…to explain my previous post I comment you an episode, one of my brother call him Abel goes to the hospital at risk of death, my other brother (call him Cain) fled in disguise and said to me, “please take charge of these administrative procedures”, I was asked to sign documents for what I would be seized if the health insurance company did not pay, like every Libra, having an lawyer inside I fight for the reformulation of the documents, however signed anyway, because my brother could die in the delay. My brother was saved, the insurance company did not pay the bills, but I was not seized (because of reformulated document) althoug I could have been losed all my things. “Abel” after that episode helped me in many financial situations. And I think we’re good friends now, he is a Scorpio ASC. I have venus in 11th house

I have sun merc and Saturn in Taurus Venus mars in Gemini. I’m greedy about books!! Love my books don’t like to lend them out they never come back and don’t check them out from the library because I don’t return them:) Got hundreds! My dream is to have a library in my home big enough for them all plus more!!
