The Twelfth is the
house of loss, as the
Eleventh is that of
gain. It is a house of
expense, as the
Eleventh is that of
income. It shows
decrease, wastage and
decay. We tend to lose
or waste away the
traits of the planets
located in this house.
The Sun here shows a
loss of
self-confidence or a
poor reputation; the
Moon here shows
emotional drain and
moodiness; Saturn here
causes worry or
weakness of the
nerves; Mercury causes
too much thinking;
Mars causing the
wastage of our vital
energy; and so on.
The Twelfth is the
house of sorrow,
disappointment, and
resignation. It
indicates limitation,
confinement, or
adversity, sometimes
imprisonment. It is a
secretive house and
shows work behind the
scenes, as work in a
hospital, asylum, or
monastery. On the
other hand, it is also
a house of passion,
luxury and
dissipation, the
secret pleasures that
keep us hidden.
The Twelfth represents
the past (as the Ninth
House does the future)
and shows past karma
we are bound to or
past influences we are
under. It can indicate
guilt, regret, sorrow,
and grief. It shows
the subconscious,
where our rational
mind and ego are
dissolved, and can
indicate fantasy,
illusion, mental
disorders, or trance.
It is an astral house
and shows how we
connect with the
subtle planes. It
indicates our after
death state, where our
latent impressions and
unresolved attachments
will lead us.
The Twelfth house
represents the end of
the life-cycle and
shows exhaustion.
However, as the
negation of life, it
also indicates
liberation, the denial
of ego through
renunciation and
surrender. It is
thereby a house of
Yoga and meditation.
It causes isolation or
separation. It shows
one alone, negated by
external adversity
into a state of
sorrow, or negated by
inner peace into
enlightenment. |
