I’m researching and writing about Vertex in astrology, and I realized that there’s such a generalization for the houses especially the 4th house. I also think there’s a bit of a confusion here too.
4th house is often called the house of home. but it’s really the house of personal space. especially because it’s the direct square of your 1st house, the house of personal self. the opposite of the 1st house is 7th house and that’s the house of relationships and partnerships beyond the self. the opposite of 4th house and the direct squares of 1st and 7th house is the 10th house, the house of public self. These are the angles of your birth chart.Do you see the connection there?
the point of the 1st house is called AC
the point of the 7th house is called DC
the point of the 4th house is called IC
the point of the 10th house is called MC
4th house is often associated with home and family and while that’s true on a high level perspective it really deals with the personal space around you and the one’s you’re willing(or unwilling) to invite into your inner being. There’s a reason why the 4th house is considered the lowest point of a birth chart. because it’s the deepest parts of the person.
It’s a “dark” house. Sounds similar to 12th and 8th house now, right?
but 12th house deals with trauma, rejections, the hidden. 4th house is your hideout from when your 12th house is being activated.
8th house deals with contracts, obsessions, transformations, deep soul bonds, anything that sticks long term. this is why death is associated with 8th house because nothing is more permanent than that. soul possessions. 4th house deals with what a life lived, the life inside the life. the inner life of a person.
I want to touch on 2nd house because it’s the opposite of 8th house and therefore can be confused with 8th house.
the 2nd house is about money, possessions (different from obsessions) that is temporary and fleeting, earthy possessions. such as a physical home.
in relation to the 4th house(of often associated with belonging), 11th house is the houses of community and belonging, but the 4th house is belonging with your inner self, connecting yourself to your inner self. without a strong awareness of your 4th house, it can leave you feeling “empty” no matter how many friends and happiness you have.
a lot of soulful artists carry a strong 4th house or a planet in their 4th house.

I know there’s often some confusion between 12th house and 8th house. 8th house is considered the rejected parts because underdeveloped emotions can lead to people pushing and rejecting the parts that they truly have a passion for. Sometimes you see it in children who have a crush on someone and don’t know how to deal with their feelings so they bully or push away.
12th house is the house of the hidden because it’s what we are when we are not being watched, when we are at our lowest and feel the most alone. When OUR SELF (1st house) is not being watched, we are in fact “not watched”, it is before the rising sun and the staring of eyes. Similar to Light and how its proprieties change when it is being viewed and not being viewed.
the only interpretation that led me to really understand the twelfth house was through alyssa sharpe. i love poetic description about the 12th house and i think that it’s fairly fitting for what it encompasses and symbolizes, but it never hits me in a way that causes me to really feel it. what i interpreted of her video on the twelfth house is that it is a house of self-sabotage, where we feel compelled to restrict ourselves, and where we feel viscerally wronged in our lives and personality (whether this belief is valid or not- and plenty often, it is not). this is a house that is draped in neptune flow, so whatever we find in this house is adorned with delusion and false expectation. we do not feel the reality of what is in the twelfth house and it is something we must teach ourselves throughout our whole life. we must undo the disillusionment we have given ourselves with planets in this house and & understand how to cut through its cunning escapism to look at things how they really are.
sun in the 12th house: self-sabotage in the ego. individuals with this placement often feel like their ‘true’ self was never allowed to shine in childhood or adolescence, and as a result these are very fragile & introspective people. others might feel like they are walking on eggshells around these people because oftentimes this placement indicates an easily wounded individual. every word that is not positive is felt as an attack to this person. the lesson with the sun in twelfth house is to assert their personality, and learn criticism is necessary for growth and not an attack on the individual.
moon in the 12th house: the thoughts and emotions of the individual feel invalid in this house, and through feelings of perhaps desperation or a demand to feel rational, in-control, or on the other extreme of the spectrum, just noticed, this placement can indicate either extreme coping/burying mechanisms of the emotions, or bursts of energy and rage and instability in an effort to be seen. balance is needed in this house, and a support system of people who will assure them of the validity of their feelings and help them express them in healthy ways. a danger of this house might be self-medicating, and this must be worked on as well.
mercury in the 12th house: it is not uncommon for those with mercury in twelfth not to trust their instincts, for they are not confident enough in their mental capabilities to steer them correctly. they may look to others for guidance and acceptance, validating what they have to say. similar to a retrograde mercury, this is a placement that causes the native to over-critically examine each word to come out of their mouth, so much so that they may not say hardly a thing. on the other hand, they may feel compelled to say too much in search of anyone to listen and pay attention to their words. the mind may be clouded by nothing but their own doubt, and through learning to value one’s thoughts does the mind begin to achieve clarity.
venus in the 12th house: the romantic endeavors in the life of this person feels invisible or vastly under-appreciated. this may also hold true for someone with taurus or libra on the twelfth house cusp. these people can often feel victimized in relationships or they attract people who feel they need to be ‘saved’. on the flip side, they might feel like they need to be saved. the potential to lose yourself in a partner is high here, and one might need to learn more about themselves, their tastes, and what they need from a partner through relationships. one must learn to assert themselves in their romance + creative life, and also to avoid relationships where there is an imbalance of power or support.
mars in the 12th house: cyclical events of repressing one’s anger and, after torturing oneself for too long, explodes in a mess of outward and inward verbal destruction. insecurity in themselves is common, as they feel they cannot assert themselves; they may allow people to walk all over them for fear of standing up for themselves. but again, when they have reached their breaking point, they can truly explode with every word they have wanted to say for months, cutting deep both within the native themself and to the person at which it is directed. since this is a particularly extreme planet placement for the twelfth house, the journey to understanding yourself and finding out how to stand on your own feet must be a gentle, forgiving process to achieve balance between buried and volcanic emotions.
jupiter in the 12th house: this is thought of by many (including myself) as a ‘guardian angel’ placement. some idealize this placement; to me, it is ironic that such is the case because blind optimism can be a trait of this placement. not in a traditional sense, but rather of one failing to set in place a set of checks and balances for jupiter’s unyielding desire to expand and declare philosophy. as such, those with this placement may feel rather attacked when suggested to view the world with a more critical eye. as stated above, wrapping neptune delusion around jupiter viewpoint can cause some harsh extremes when viewing others’ morals and decisions, so a lesson here would be to double-check yourself. open your mind and allow yourself to be more willing to hear other viewpoints, and be open to thinking you might even be wrong about some things.
saturn in the 12th house: can indicate an individual who simply cannot ask for help. in times of hardships or situations where one is burdened with responsibility, the native may evade from these troubles and instead isolate themselves. it may be difficult for this individual to really get in touch with themself in introspective or spiritual senses. in an attempt to have control over their emotions, they may get easily overwhelmed. in a broad, general sense, saturn in twelfth house can indicate persistent feelings of guilt without being able to articulate or solve it. opening up is a necessity with this house, to accept responsibility in order to deal with life healthily, to be honest and objective with the self, and to challenge the harsh standards one may have put on themself.
uranus in the 12th house: the genius and innovation of uranus, in this house, does not reveal itself except for in times of deep introspection and staggering personal overhaul. i saw the phrase ‘the closet rebel’ tacked to this placement, and it is valid. these individuals want to be extraordinary, but an internal (sometimes external) force makes them feel as though their gifts are sabotaged. the need to be great is shoved deep inside, often due to feeling that their individuality and ideas do not deserve to be brought to light. an embrace of their own unique strangeness is needed to learn from this house in order to realize the true potential of their ideas.
neptune in the 12th house: an atlas complex is found with neptune in the twelfth house. this individual feels so compelled to help everyone around them, they can be delusional of how much energy they can afford to bleed out. as a result, there are potentially persisting feelings of guilt or a loss of identity. spreading oneself too thin is a common potential for those with this placement, and as a result they may self-medicate through escapism or self-destructive acts to deal with the confusion, emptiness, or guilt they may feel. one most view the subconscious objectively, if only to understand their limits.
pluto in the 12th house: highly resistant to transformation. heavy changes in the life of this person are met with hesitance and fear as opposed to a healthy understanding. this individual may even exacerbate their problems or resist growth with unhealthy coping mechanisms; the reality of change means harsh introspection and uncovering harsh truths about the self, and they don’t want this! those with this placement need to learn to bite the bullet and discover the things in their life that are hindering their growth and deal with it healthily in order to move forward.
the twelfth house is a moment of surrender. the body must be untied, like a corset, so he may be embraced by the collective sea. the greater benefic jupiter is the ruler of the twelfth so fortune can be sought even in the deepest shadows. the charter through the higher mind tends to be awash with cosmic waves
Sun in the 12th house - The Sun still shines down the bottom of the ocean, illuminating an unseen world
Moon in the 12th house: Moon water shining like crystals under lunar light, heaven is a place in darkness with them
Mercury in the 12th house: The messenger is invisible, but words linger in the air for centuries, encased in liquid gold
Venus in the 12th house - Secret mermaid lover, turn into rain and take me home
Mars in the 12th house: The spiritual warrior wearing the scars of a thousand lifetimes, a divine flame burns like incense
Jupiter in the 12th house: A pillow shaped like a cosmic lagoon, a sanctuary inside to escape and hear words from the wise
Saturn in the 12th house: Divine labor is riddled with expectation and guilt, the dweller in the oceanic temple, serving and solitary
Uranus in the 12th house: Lighting crackles on the ocean floor and golden threads of heaven’s thoughts bring an invisible world to dazzling ecstasy
Neptune in the 12th house: A siren waits by the seaside to guide her followers to haven, speaking little but sharing everything
Pluto in the 12th house: A lone wanderer standing before heaven’s gates, waiting and watching, guarding in servitude, so filled with spirit it can become empty
Sometimes, we get stuck in karmic cycles that need broken. Recognize them and change the outcomes when you start to see patterns! Saturn transits are the biggest key in Astrology to bring on these karmic cycles, since Saturn is the planet of karma. Look to your house that is ruled by Capricorn and what transits are there to get an idea of what kind of karma is being brought out in your life.

Sun in 12th house: requires a lot of alone time to recharge and to ground the self. You may have escapist tendency without noticing, so it’s better to channel this need into something healthy and useful, especially when it comes to choosing a professional path, you could do great in professions like actor, mystic, scientist or doctor/nurse. You’re selfless with a great need to feel useful and helpful, to truly shine in your own way.
Sun in water houses is creative, visionary, a trendsetter. Is limitless, deep, sometimes even extravagant, this individual ignores trends and social expectations, they live in their own reality, acting on their own self-created concepts.
When you look at someone, there are some things you notice right away. You say to yourself,
“Hmm, she looks very kind and sweet-natured,” or “My, she looks butch.”
In her horoscope, the chances are good that these things have to do with the 1st house, which holds whatever a person wants to project. It’s not that she isn’t kind, or butch, or competent, or whatever she’s projecting. She probably is. However, that isn’t necessarily her whole self.
What’s hidden behind that face? To find out, we go to the 12th house. In the 12th are the things you might learn on a dark night, around a campfire - or perhaps when you’re in bed after making love. Or you might never learn them, because she doesn’t know them herself.
Looking at your natal chart, the 12th house is the one just above the eastern horizon. The eastern horizon (the rising sign, or ascendent) is the furthest point on the left, and the first house is the wedge going down from there. The houses (pie-shaped wedges) go around the circle from 1 to 12 in a counter-clockwise direction, so the 12th is the one just above the 1st. Many charts have little numbers close to the center of the wheel, telling you which house is which.
The 12th house represents the underpinnings of your life. If you can imagine yourself packing a psychic suitcase before bidding all your friends in the other world goodbye and then sliding into the womb, then the 12th house would be the contents of that suitcase.
In the womb, you’re sensitive to certain kinds of phenomena, and these phenomena reflect whatever you’ve got in your psychic suitcase. After all, you’ve picked birth-parents and a birth situation that will help you resolve your last experience, whatever it was. If you had a traumatic past life, then your new life will help you heal from that. Likewise, it will be a chance to use the talents and skills that you developed then.
If you have more than one planet in the 12th, then you are working through a lot of past-life issues. Twelfth-house planets are shadowy, but you are always aware of them on a subliminal level. A 12th-house emphasis can mean spending a lot of time on a spiritual quest, or perhaps talking to a therapist, working out what’s buried within you, figuring out what to do about it.
A strong 12th house will often give artistic talents. After all, the muse especially loves to visit those who are peering into the shadows, looking for buried truths.
In the old books, the 12th-house is called “the house of self-undoing”. That’s because you often tend to ignore or repress what lies in your 12th house. At the same time, you generally can’t help acting it out in one way or another - and so you often feel compelled in this area. If you reject your 12th house planets, if you don’t admit that they’re part of you, then you can end up condemning yourself. If you accept that they are you, you can learn from them. And you will often discover that they have wonderful gifts to give you.
If you’re looking at the horoscope of a potential or actual lover, her 12th house will explain some of her unconscious behavior. You can encourage her to express these traits in a positive way, and you can love them in her (even if she doesn’t love them in herself). And if you’re trying to figure out where you might have intersected in a past life, her 12th house planets might give you a clue.
The Sun
If your sun is in the 12th, you were a leader in a past life. You were very visible, and a great deal was expected of you. (Your sun-sign will give you some clues about what made you famous.) This sense of specialness continues while you’re in the womb. Everyone is aware of you, waiting for you to emerge. You may be awaited eagerly, or you may be notorious even before your birth, but you are definitely a force to be reckoned with right from the beginning.
During this lifetime, it’s easy for you to take leadership positions, and to exert your authority, even when you don’t realize you’re doing it. Often you show fierce independence, with a compelling need to do things in your own way.
The Moon
If your moon is in the 12th, you arrived with a lot of emotional baggage, and some of it probably has to do with the person who is your mother (in this life). You may have loved and protected her in a past life, and so you were drawn back to be with her. Or you may have been royally angry at her, perhaps deceived by her, and so you incarnated to get things squared away. During your time in the womb, you are very conscious of her - everything she feels, everything she experiences.
During this lifetime, you respond to a great many things in an emotional way, even though you don’t always realize it. You could be moody at times. It’s not easy to get in touch with your emotional needs, but you can see what these needs are by looking at your moon-sign.
Mercury
If your Mercury is in the 12th, you focused on ideas and theories in past lives. You may have been engaged in figuring out some scientific phenomenon, or counting how many angels dance on the head of a pin - and then your time was over, and you never did work it out. So you arrived with a consuming intellectual curiosity, which may go in a single direction, or may branch out in different areas. It’s often said that an unborn child can hear everything that is said in her vicinity, and this was definitely true of you.
During this lifetime, you are still haunted by the need to know. But sometimes you can over-intellectualize, reducing everything to an idea. Communication is especially important to you, and you can sometimes be compulsive about it. If you can’t share your thoughts and ideas, the frustration can be intense.
Venus
If your Venus is in the 12th, you may have been a great beauty or a great poet in a previous life. Your focus was on pleasure, and this could have meant the ecstasy of art, the excitement of sexual escapades, or the passion of a great romance. You might have been a Juliet, or you could have lived happily for a lifetime with your lover. Whichever it was, there was a sense of leaving before all your pleasures were done. In the womb, you are very aware of the love - or the lack of love - in your new life.
During this lifetime, you want love more than anything, but you can’t always admit this to yourself. And so you can be compulsive about anything connected to pleasure, beauty and romance. You can diet unmercifully, or even go in for plastic surgery. You can go from one lover to the next. But once you work through your insecurities in this area, you have a very deep love to give.
Mars
If your Mars is in the 12th house, then you have a very butch shadow. In a past life, you may have been a soldier, a martial artist, or someone who competed fiercely in the sports arena. The 12th-house Mars shows quite a bit of jostling when you were in the womb, and it can mean that your mother had accidents, surgeries, or other crises during this time. You felt that life was going to be a very physical thing.
During this lifetime, you really need to express yourself on the physical level. However, this isn’t always easy to do, and you may sometimes deny your will and your impulses, feeling that they’re not really “you”. This often backfires, and you do rash things on impulse. Mars is also the planet of anger, and you can squelch anger till it explodes, or until it makes you ill. You have to find healthy physical outlets.
Jupiter
If your Jupiter is in the 12th house, then you were a social force of some kind in a past life. You might have been very rich or you might have had noble blood. You were established in some way, a pillar of the community. You made yourself pretty comfortable while in the womb, and your mother probably gets a lot of good medical care. This could have meant doctors, or it could have meant aunts with herbal remedies, but there was a sense of abundance, and you tapped into this.
During this lifetime, it’s important for you to be part of the community. Jupiter is the planet of expansion, and so you may have a tendency to overdo everything - for instance, starting an enormous number of projects, or spending more money than you have. You’re always hungry for more, especially more social attention, and so you need to find a welcoming, warm community with which to share your enthusiasms.
Saturn
If your Saturn is in the 12th house, then you are dealing with a karmic loss of some kind. This is the position which shows most past-life suffering, and it can mean bringing regret, sorrow or guilt with you. In the womb, conditions were a bit limiting, one way or another. Your new family may have been poor, depressed, or over-burdened with responsibilities, and you picked up on this, and didn’t feel overly comfortable.
During this lifetime, you frequently return to an old sense of sorrow or deprivation. There’s some part of you that has trouble believing that you deserve to be happy, and so you can unconsciously sabotage your own projects and opportunities. Once you work through your karmic trauma, forgiving yourself and others, your 12th-house Saturn gives you a great deal of wisdom.
Uranus
If your Uranus is in the 12th house, you are influenced by a past life that was exciting, turbulent, full of shocking changes. You might have been in the middle of a revolution, an earthquake, or a tidal wave. In the womb, there continued to be some disruptions. Your family may have been reeling from some sudden change, and you got the sense that things wouldn’t calm down anytime soon.
During this lifetime, you expect things to change, and you are always on your toes. You have a lot of nervous energy, a tendency to suddenly and compulsively rock the boat. It’s not that you don’t prize stability, but there’s a part of you that doesn’t quite believe in it. However, your 12th-house Uranus gives you wonderful creative gifts, and so it’s important to find people and organizations who appreciate your innovative ideas.
Neptune
If your Neptune is in the 12th house, you were once a dreamer, a poet, a spiritual figure, or perhaps a drug addict. You dwelt in the realm of the imagination, always attuned to other dimensions. You may have experienced intrigues, illusions, deception, and confusion, and you arrived in the womb with some definite trust issues. In the womb, too, it was hard to know what was what. It could be that your mother drank or used drugs, or that she was exposed to other toxic elements in her environment.
During this lifetime, you may find yourself dealing with a compulsive urge to escape from reality. You can imagine a life in which there is perfect peace, beauty, love and joy, and it’s easier to live in your imagination than to stick your consciousness to the physical plane. You have wonderful creative and spiritual gifts, but need to stay grounded enough to give them.
Pluto
If your Pluto is in the 12th house, you dealt with some heavy power issues in a past life. Pluto is about the collective unconscious, and so you may have found yourself dealing with the shadowy elements of society - criminals, prejudiced people, crazed mobs, war hysteria, or other kinds of mass psychosis. In the womb, you were aware that your family was marked by some deep inner divisions, perhaps issues of good vs. evil, or life vs. death.
During this lifetime, you know yourself to be a survivor, but you are still conscious of deep inner urges which don’t seem to fit. Your psyche sometimes seems to be a Pandora’s box, full of every random need or desire known to humankind. You may be afraid of your own power, but it’s important to realize that you possess more than the power to harm. You also have the power to do great good in the world.
Ruled by Neptune and Jupiter (traditionally), The 12th House is a very misunderstood and often looked over house, but it holds a lot of importance and can show what we need to overcome to grow spiritually. The 12th House indicates our weaknesses, our secrets, where we feel alone or trapped in life, how we can heal humanity, and what burdens we have to carry.
Aries: hides their aggression, confidence, originality, and assertion. prone to being bullied, interrogated, and victimized or feeling very insecure about themselves, power and energy lies in the shadows. when alone or with those they are comfortable with, their true assertion and aggression comes out. these are the people that are kind and genuine upon first impression and behind closed doors, reveal how they really feel, but rarely will they say it aloud.
Taurus: hides their talent, creativity, and resourcefulness. prone to not realizing their potential, giving value to possessions that aren’t needed out of fear of losing things, and lacking material wealth that could be easily achieved through their abilities. when alone, the interesting prodigy that they are comes alive and they express how talented and charming they truly are. they have multiple creative abilities they shelter from the world out of fear of judgement. they are much more laid back and comfort-loving than they appear. at their darkest, the obsessive and overindulging part of them surfaces.
Gemini: hides their intelligence, quirkiness, and self-expression. prone to over-thinking, keeping themselves up at night with a restless mind, and thinking they are not intelligent or creative enough to pursue the life they want. when alone, they are chatter boxes with knowledge on various subjects and prove to be not as naive and oblivious as they may seem upon first impression. they are naturally humorous, clever, and free-spirited. they would make for wonderful writers, speakers, and teachers.
Cancer: hides their emotional vulnerability, compassion, and femininity. prone to mood swings, crying spells, and withdrawing from those they love in order to not be seen as weak and sensitive. when alone, they are creatures of comfort who will love and nourish those closest to them and keep everyone in line. they are excellent caretakers and have various creative home-centered abilities such as gardening, cooking, organizing, decorating, etc. children and family bring out the softness within them and encourage them to embrace their gentle nature.
Leo: hides their creativity, passion, and love for fun and leisure. prone to focusing too much on small details and on their flaws, as well as their reputation in society. they absolutely cannot stand criticism or judgement which is why they hide the lion inside. when alone, they are free to be themselves and in their private room, you can find works of art and decorations that reveal their individuality and spirit. they enjoy having fun and engaging in small parties with friends but keep this side of themselves completely low key, possibly due to strict parents or a rough upbringing. they are full of heart and spunk, but need a push to boost their confidence.
Virgo: hides their perfectionism, restlessness, and brilliance. prone to sharing plans and ideas that never come to fruition out of fear of them not being good enough or disappointing others, judging themselves and others in solitude, and acting as though they are perfect, though they do not see themselves or life in this way behind the curtains. they are excellent planners and have revolutionary ideas but are scared to ruin their reputation of beauty and charm by risking to morph their thoughts into reality. everything must be prim and proper for them or they feel like they are failing. support and enthusiasm is needed for them to pursue their ideas.
Libra: hides their dependence, sensitivity, and need for acceptance and companionship. needs to be control of their private and intimidating image to keep from feeling weak and needy. prone to isolating themselves, clinging to few people, feeling insecure about their looks, and hiding their natural charm and appeal. when alone, they are social, generous, and open but are very uncertain of who they truly are. this stems from having to protect themselves and their image from a young age. they are truly loving and compassionate with strikingly gorgeous features. these people make for the perfect companions, counselors, therapists, and justice seekers.
Scorpio: hides their taboo interests, need for control, and obsession with either sex, spirituality, mystery, or oddities. prone to experiencing painful transformations, negative intrusive thoughts, paranoia, psychic abilities, and paranormal phenomena. they have strong observation skills and are extremely perceptive.. they can see through anyone but fear that others will see through them, as well. they know their interests and their way of thinking is frowned upon, so they hide it well with flamboyance, charm, and a persona of optimism and energy.
Sagittarius: hides their religious/spiritual beliefs and political views, their interests in metaphysics, and their optimistic nature. prone to having various phases with different religions and practices until they settle but their beliefs are typically unconventional and their political beliefs are frowned upon in their community. they hide their beliefs and views to protect their image and appear much more mature and traditional than they actually are. when comfortable with someone, they are sociable, spiritual, optimistic, and free-spirited.
Capricorn: hides their traditional practices, their need for structure and control, their dreams to achieve social status, and their overly ambitious spirit. prone to over-working themselves, clinging to family beliefs and views, carrying on family traditions, and focusing too much on what others think. they try to be perceived as unique, friendly, and open-minded upon first impression, but once you get to know them and realize they are very conventional, they show a completely different side to themselves and let their real opinions slide out.
Aquarius: hides their emotions, individuality, intelligence, and eccentricity. prone to collecting oddities in private, experiencing controversy around their reputation due to their secrecy, and feeling on edge / nervous in the public eye, and taking medication or withdrawing from the public often to prevent breakdowns. they hide their feelings about the judgement and criticism they receive very well and manage to remain the compassionate, dreamy souls they are perceived as. knowledge of their beliefs, interests, and back story are cloudy and remain a mystery long after they are gone.
Pisces: hides their spirituality, softness, empathy, and artistry. prone to experiencing confusion, strange dreams and premonitions, addictive tendencies, procrastination, and mood swings due to their heightened senses that receive little relief. they are ethereal and day-dreamy and with their vivid imagination, they are capable of creating masterpieces but expressing this side to them will take time. they see the world through different eyes and know the judgement that spiritual individuals and artists receive. when they surrender to who they truly are, they will make for wonderful healers, artists, mystics, musicians, and humanitarians.
Planets and asteroids here can be a bit tough on the natives. We all have to remember to stay strong and not lose hope. Life is filled with many challenges and we are here to learn and evolve, one day at a time.
Sun in the 12thHouse–“Am I worthy?” Yes, you are. Remember that every single day is a battle and you are special and valued. When you have grown into who you are and learn to appreciate the gifts you can bring forth to the world, you can help others. Learn to channel your egotistical side occasionally, because it can work wonders.
Moon in the 12thHouse–“Why can I feel everything?” You are the empath and can sense everyone’s pain. Use your abilities to heal others and it enhance your skills. Many will go to you because your mind will serve as a beacon, helping individuals in your journey. Your helpful nature will be expressed through this placement, helping others along the way.
Mercury in the 12thHouse–“Does anyone understand me?” It’s hard to step out of the shadows of the 12th House, but first you need to find some faith in yourself, only then will you be able to speak loudly with a mind that will shine brilliantly, empowering you to relay your message to the world.
Venus in the 12thHouse–“Do they truly love me?” There is a tendency for the native with this placement to keep their love lives hidden or there are circumstances that force them to (an affair or someone unattainable). Make sure that you and your partner are honest with one another, this way the relationship can flourish in the sunlight instead of the shadows.
Mars in the 12thHouse– “Is it worth fighting for anything?” Yes, fight for everything you believe will bring forth positivity and help you become a better person. Cling on to your passions, your hopes and dreams and you will see that there will come a point when you can become a champion for other people that cannot express or use their voice.
Neptune in the 12thHouse– “Is this reality?” Neptune is comfortable here because it rules the mystery of the 12th. Those with Pisces influence or dominance would understand how this can be a haven, an escape into another world and a place where their dreams can unravel. The only issue here would be not to fall too deep into the mystic rivers of the 12th because it can consume you and your reality will be warped. You have the power to feel everyone’s pain, so you need to learn how to remove yourself from emotionally draining circumstances. Hone your psychic abilities and make them stronger so that the waters don’t drown you here. It’s always good to wake up after a nice dream.
Jupiter in the 12thHouse–“Hope is somewhere.” The benefic planet in the House of shadows is a wonderful placement. In your darkest hour you will be able to find a beacon of light and hope that will push you out of the darkness. Make sure to fine tune that ability because it is within you. This placement smooths the transition from feelings of being in a dark place to finding the power to rise above it all with ease.
Uranus in the 12thHouse–“Why is everything changing?” The native has a fear of the changing world, but this is all in your head. Change is good, change should be welcomed because change helps catapult you to your next stage. If you feel apprehensive or you might be too fixed in your own ways to accept the changes, remember that we live in a dynamic world and we have to evolve with the times.
Saturn in the 12thHouse–“When will the madness end?” In the House of self-undoing, this placement can become the native’s worst enemy. Take time to do some meditating, exercise, writing or reading. Any hobbies will help you get out of the slump. Focus on doing as much as you can and whenever you have doubts or fears, remember that you can get through this because you are powerful enough to endure and weather any storms. You will come out stronger than ever.
Pluto in the 12thHouse–“Will I get a moment of peace?” You will. Pluto, like Saturn are tough malefics, but you van do it because this is only your first form of many. Pluto transforms and empowers, so at your lowest point you will find a light, just like the native with Jupiter in this House. This light will help you and strengthen you since you will learn how to face these challenges when you evolve. With each transformation, you will acquire new weapons that will aid in your journey. Do not lose hope.
Chiron in the 12thHouse – “Why does everything hurt?” Chiron here will be very much like a mix of the Moon and Saturn in the 12th. You can sense the pains of others along with something that might be haunting you within. With this placement, you can meditate to uncover the greater mysteries. There is a compassionate soul within you and it can bring transformations to others in a positive and exquisite way.

12th HOUSE Placements as a blank space for projection.
it’s important to stay away from toxic people because their energy will pollute the 12th house! and so, bad things will start to happen out of the blue. This house needs spiritual cleansing! it needs you to develop your higher self so that you can project that higher self into the world. It means being at your best and the universe suddenly working with you not against you. The 12th house is like a black hole for any type of energy, stay always with the highest positive vibration. It’s a collective spiritual subconscious house, it absorbs anything and gives it back to you! When you stay with toxic people because of your empathic nature and because you can see what they could be (12th house includes compassion and delusions) keep in mind their energy is being absorbed by you!So their karma will be your karma! In a sense, you’re “saving” them by being a martyr. Things for them suddenly start improving, while you drown.
Hey everyone , I’ve been gone forever a while, Miss Corona got us all f-up, lol.
Anyway, I just came here to bring you an astral note I found out recently;
The 4th, 8th and 12th houses placements, are feelings, hard to perform, hard to talk, hard to grab.
You just feel them.
How can you show a feeling in its core? Feeling. It.
Mercury in any of these water houses will find it it difficult to *speak* their mind. They could possibly wish they could telepathic say stuff.
Sun: Could even be a lazy or sidereal personality, it stamina and natural form sees and feels itself as an emotion […]More that an physical realm.
Venus: a great place to be, but how can I show that I love you?
What are my tools? Idk, I just feel It.
Using the aspects connected to that planet is the only option… or??
Drugs or alcohol are considered (by me) as a bridge to feel. Because feelings and vulnerabilty are mostly covered by our ego, which overlaps our subconscious self.
Venus in Virgo could be with someone just for benefit, it could be money, status or their youth.
Virgo mars are as kinky and sexual as an Scorpio mars.
The planets in your 8th house are your sexappeal.
Having pluto in your 1st house is like having Scorpio rising.
Having Jupiter in your 1st house is like having Sag. Rising.
Having Saturn in your 1st house is like having Capricorn rising.
Venus and/or mars in the 6th house is a great marriage material.
Mercury-Quiron aspects could heal people and themselves with their words.
The ruler of the sign your chart ruler is, could be sometimes even more important that the actual chart ruler. (For example: Virgo rising - Aries mercury - Mars in Leo)
Scorpio rising has the biggest D, followed by Sag. Rising and then Cancer.
Natal venus retrograde could like to have at least one same sex experience.
Virgo rising are scared of being famous (because of Leo in the 12th).
Mercury - Uranus hard aspected could be really misunderstood everytime they say something.
Hey guys, I’ve been reading your replies in lasts post, thank you all very much, feel free to ask anything in my ask box, so I could help you clear up your doubts and concerns, okay? ❤
