Uncover in Your 12th House

The twelfth house is interpreted in a few different ways. It is commonly known as the house of self-undoing, but fear not! The planets and signs that are housed here are not fatal flaws, instead, this house shows us where our unconscious drives lead us if they are unchecked. Your twelfth house, the last house of the wheel, represents the psyche. It is the “unseen realm,” and represents subconscious expansion. It encompasses dreams, intuition, and powerful secrets. ​This house is key to getting to know yourself on a metaphysical level. Properly navigated, this is a deeply inward, dreamy, and spiritual place.

Planets occupying this house reveal the inner workings of the subconscious mind. This area is the calm before the storm: it’s where you develop ideas, goals, and the motivation to continue these eternal cycles of knowing. Whichever planets and signs appear in your twelfth house reveal to you which aspects of yourself must be developed in order to transcend. With many planets in this placement, you might feel powerfully compelled by your subconscious desires, wounds, and drives. If we run from these influences, they become our vices. However, whatever energies exist in your twelfth house are also powerful sites of transformation.
