*****************

House 12 in your birth chart is the reference point for data pertaining to secrets, confidential matters, behind the scenes activity, unpaid volunteer work, philanthropy, disappointment, sorrow, self-undoing, exclusion, secret enmity, restriction, detention, isolation, hospitals, crime and prison. It corresponds to compartment 12 of your astral body.

Everyone has secrets – for some their whole life is a secret – and house 12 is all about the stuff you prefer to keep secret because you don’t want others to know about it. It does not favor transparency. It’s all about secret information, your privacy policy and the activities and matters about which you stay silent and keep your mouth shut due to their public disapproval, social non-acceptance or illegality. The disclosure of matters kept secret can result in rejection and/or hostility.

Secret enemies are people who covertly dislike you and who plot secretly to cause you harm and bring about your downfall.

House 12 associates you with family secrets, secret activities, secret societies, secret meetings, secret hide-a-ways, unnoticed activity that gains no fan-fare or public attention, hidden talents that are not open to public scrutiny, unpaid active charity/volunteer work and/or a hospital, prison, detention or correctional center or spy agency.

House 12 is all about hidden agendas, undercover work, covert activity, confidential information (that priests, lawyers, psychologists, spies and intelligence agencies acquire), restrictions placed on what you can do, exclusion, involuntary isolation, social withdrawal, solitary social activities, clandestine living, servitude, slavery, bondage, the thoughts you think when alone, misguided thoughts of self-harm, self-injury and/or suicide, crime, imprisonment, detention and large animals like cattle and horses. 

Self-undoing is the result of misguided behavior aka wrong living that results in personal disaster, sorrow and disappointment.

Disappointment and sorrow are a part of life and house 12 is about the disappointment-sorrow experience. You can feel an overwhelming sense of disappointment in another person or when you don’t get what you want or something doesn’t go right or according to plan. 

Solitude is pro-choice aloneness. It offers seclusion and alone time for a specific purpose, takes you away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life and gives you freedom from distraction. Maybe you engage in reclusive pro-choice isolation, avoid excess interpersonal contact with others and turn down social invitations. Maybe you enjoy your solitude time and your creativity, social usefulness and character development flourishes when you’re working alone.

The places and people associated with house 12 are hospitals, the isolation ward, nursing homes, sanatoriums, asylums, prisons, prison camps, retreats, hospital attendants, criminals, secret/hidden enemies and inner-plane astral entities aka elementals.

Events involving secrets, secret enmity, disappointment, sorrow, self-undoing, isolation, social exclusion, unpaid volunteer work, philanthropy, anonymity, welfare support, self-injury, suicide, bondage, hospitals, crime, detention, imprisonment and large animals are house 12 events.

House 12 has an astrodyne power score

A planet in house 12 makes its department of life active but its relative strength and influence is measured by its astrodyne power score. If it’s dominant or prominent secrecy, secret enmity, disappointment, restriction, unpaid volunteer work, behind the scenes activity and/or crime will play a central role in your story. There’s a high level of thought-cell activity influencing what you think and do and working to attract minor and major events affecting these life-matters.

If non-prominent a reduced level of thought-cell activity scales down its influence; and if house 12 is weak its influence is subdued.

House 12 has a harmony or discord score

The functional status of house 12 – and the common thought-cell activity that’s working to influence your thinking and behavior and attract events pertaining to secrecy, secrets, restriction, isolation, disappointment, secret enmity and/or unpaid volunteer work – is measured by its harmony or discord score. 

A harmony score indicates that your house 12 thought-cell activity is harmonious and inclined to attract fortunate events involving your secret life and when working behind the scenes and or volunteering. It favors benefits and progress when working alone; the productive use of pro-choice, feel-good solitude time; and a fortunate association with hospitals and/or prisons. It supports keeping secret matters secret, reduces the chances of secret enemies inflicting major harm and increases your chances of avoiding or overcoming heavy restriction and disappointment. But there may be discord amid the harmony so the harmony is not absolute.

A discord score indicates your house 12 thought-cell activity is discordant and inclined to work to attract unfortunate events involving your secret life, volunteer work and behind the scenes activity. It inclines towards a lack of notice, invisibility, confidentiality/secrecy problems, heavy restrictions and disappointments, destructive alone-time thinking, hospitalization, hidden enemies who can do a lot of damage, crime, detention and/or incarceration. But there may be harmony amid the discord so the discord is not absolute.

The dysfunctional thought-cell activity requires your attention. It’s going to mess up your thinking and adversely affect the quality of your life and what you hope to achieve.

As a child and young adult your house 12 thought-cells were conditioned by environment and the thoughts and behavior they expressed developed into a habit system.

In response to experience you live and learn and your house 12 thought-cells gradually evolve new states of consciousness which become the basis of future events affecting your secret-life, hidden enmity, disappointments, sorrows and/or restrictions.
