The 12th house (Updated)

Your Family Karma - planets tucked away in the 12th house can indicate a problem that happened in the family, to a parent or another relative, which you have inherited

This house governs misery, waste, expenses, divine knowledge, sympathy, Moksha (final emancipation) and life after death. It is also the house of detachment.

There is karma here. That means bad things will happen to bad people. Even good people will suffer misfortune if they’re carrying some mysterious past-life debt.

Ah yes. Welcome to the Twelfth House of Self-Undoing, where you sabotage yourself and are the creator of your own downfall. Sounds pleasant, yes? Just wait, it gets better.

The twelfth house in astrology rules your subconscious mind, your mental issues and secrets and mysteries in life.

It deals with emotional problems and deceptions that we might face.

This house also rules prisons and hospitals and places that are away from one's home ruled by the Ascendant house.

Sometimes, planets in the twelfth house reveal aspects of you that were unwelcome in your family. Your parents rarely encouraged you to express the energy of the planets in your twelfth house.

Things it hides can be clearly seen by people around us, and our friends might see its secrets as a normal part of their everyday routine, for this is the second, “logical” house from the eleventh. This is the field of greatest knowledge we can find in close friends and social contacts, and while some of us will get its best through gossip, others will get it through spiritual guidance and support.

It can be challenging being so attuned to those around you, as you may find that you have difficulty determining what feelings are your own and which ones belong to others only to end up taking on others’ emotions as your own.

From the soul’s point of view, planets in the twelfth house represent hidden power, and if accessed by the Soul would ensure that the purpose of the incarnation would be accomplished.

A 12th house planet that is conjunct the Ascendant within 10° is much more apparent to people around you and the world at large than you believe.
