kennethreitz ce93f429a2 Add Knowledge: the vault's reference shelf, crosslinked across the site
Publish the Obsidian vault's Knowledge folder as /knowledge (881 notes,
67 folders), with a Knowledge item in the nav and footer.

- scripts/import_knowledge.py regenerates data/knowledge from the vault:
  slugged paths, folder notes as index pages, wikilinks resolved to site
  links (or plain text), callouts, highlights, and Dataview tables
  rendered statically. Personal notes are withheld via an exclusion
  list plus a privacy guard.
- tuftecms/core/knowledge.py builds a concept index from note titles and
  aliases. First mentions on ordinary pages link to their Knowledge note
  (capped, never in headings, code, links, or sidenotes); Knowledge pages
  list related notes and where they're mentioned across the site; other
  pages get a Related Knowledge block.
- Knowledge URLs join sitemap.xml (so the sweep test covers them), never
  displace existing legacy slugs, list alphabetically, and mermaid
  diagrams render client-side only on pages that have them.

Second House

What you hold in your hands teaches you what you believe you are worth.


Domain

The Second House is the house of substance — of everything you can call yours. Its most obvious province is money and possessions, the tangible goods that pass through a life, but to stop there is to miss its quieter and more important work. Beneath the ledger of what you own lies the ledger of what you value, and beneath that still, the question that shadows every purchase and every paycheck: what am I worth? The Second House is where the abstract idea of self-esteem takes on weight and texture, where the intangible sense of one's own value seeks something solid to rest upon.

This is a house of resources in the fullest sense — not only wealth but the talents and materials you can draw upon to build a stable life. It asks what you keep and what you release, what security means to you, and whether your sense of worth depends on what you have or survives its loss. Ruled naturally by Venus, it holds pleasure and comfort as much as commerce, reminding us that value is finally about what we cherish, and that the things we cherish reveal us.

On the Wheel

The Second House is succedent, and succedent houses are the ones that consolidate and hold. Following the initiating burst of the angular houses, they gather what has begun and give it stability, turning motion into something that lasts. This is fitting for a house of possessions and self-worth, both of which are built slowly and kept through patience. The Second holds no angle of the chart, and it wants none — its work is not to announce or to initiate but to steady, to accumulate, to make the fleeting fact of arrival into something durable enough to stand on.
