Learn Astrology Series: 12th House

Learning is a life-long process. It is an enjoyable walk down the many pathways of life. Enjoy the scenery as you allow information to enter your heart and expand your mind. I’ll share with you today my experience of the 12th house in Astrology.
From the perspective of Western Astrology, there are 12 houses in as an Astrological chart. Each house represents an area of the life where the planetary energies unfold. The 12th house is the last house of the entire wheel.
In many ways, the 12th house is like a hidden room or back room closet in the house that is your life. It is the place that holds the accumulation of all the spiritual lessons received throughout the lifetime. It also holds past karma and unfinished business. The place where you store what you don’t want to look at right now and rather deal with later.
It represents places of confinement and restrictions like prisons, hospitals, and asylums. It is the shadow self. The hidden self. The place where we escape to in our minds. It is the bedroom in your home, where you go to sleep and return to Source as you sleep. It is the threshold to dreams. The place of visions, illusions, delusions and fantasies.
The 12th house is often a place we go into alone. We face our aloneness. It is a place of seclusion, isolation, solitude and complete surrender. From a positive perspective it is like a monastery or temple. It is the place where we retreat from the world and enter our spirit. We face ourselves. We stand before God. It represents the silent, mystical journey we take to return to Source. It is the place where we surrender Ego and discover ourselves as a Soul. It is a place of meditation and contemplation. It is the place where we can attain inner peace and freedom. It is the place where we can be of service to something greater than ourselves.
The 12th house is found in each of our Astrological Charts. Today, notice what placements, planets, signs and aspects you have in this area. Enter the Sanctuary within. Discover the shadow and the Light within your 12th house. Explore it. Clean the closet and make space for the Light. Let it teach you about why you are here on Earth, what you are here to learn and share it with the world. Let it remind you of Who You Really Are.
For me, the 12th house is a Holy and sensitive place. It holds the pain and suffering of the shadow and the beauty and strength of the Divine Spirit within us. It is a Church. A Holy Temple. A place to go and meet with God. To sit and listen to the Divine. The Holy Mountain where we are lead back Home. The Home that is here and now, within you – The place where God resides. It is a place to find and return to the Light. Once you find it, let the Light shine the path ahead of you…when you are lost, when you forgotten your way. Let it remind you.
Today, return to the Holy Temple within. Enter for how ever long you can. Close the door behind you and stay, even if only for 5 minutes, it can restore, heal and guide you. May you discover the Inner Temple. May it lead you to your Beauty and Light.
