One’s 12th House is the house of secrets, sorrows and self-doubting. Some people refer to it as an unconscious and spiritual house. It’s also one of karma and spiritual debt (Woolfolk, 2001). (I want to know more about karmic doctrine generally.)

This house is also related to being able to discover life’s meaning (Woolfolk, 2001).

I remember when I first completed my chart recently that when I saw my Sun there, I thought that was probably interesting. Meaning that some of my being Virgo is private and maybe related to shadow work.

My Mars placement is also there, which is a personal planet, and its position forms a Conjunction with my Sun Sign.

Finally, my Pluto is there, which has some interesting aspects as well.

A stellium is several planets vying within a specific chart placement.

When your Sun Sign appears in your 12th House you’re said to be private generally and only have a few people with whom you’re close. Because of that, you have tendencies to lead a secluded and lonely life (Woolfolk, 2001).

Also related is that when you have your Sun Sign here is that you’re often successful late in life and have deep spiritual understanding (Woolfolk, 2001).

I have always liked being a Virgo. I’m analytical and like to see what I’ve done wrong so I’m better able to do well and make improvements. My birthday is in the third decanate which makes me more influenced by Venus generally being more warm hearted and demanding with attention. I also am on the cusp of Libra which makes my personality one of attention getting. My vitality and likability means that working with the public brings success. My depth of feeling with a lover is not surface level (Woolfolk, 2001).

My Mars conjuncts my Sun here and gives me courage, liveliness and strong powers of concentration (Woolfolk, 2001).

Pluto is a cool planet that wasn’t discovered until 1930 and it’s associated with seeing things in a brand new way and new light. Pluto can bring change and can bring up themes in your subconscious. Mine is in Libra and it entered here when the Vietnam war ended and the Watergate era shrouded the United States. I like too that homosexual rights were beginning in this era as well. Libra’s influence here seeks cooperation and harmony and unforeseen problems in relationships (Woolfolk, 2001).

I’m going to simply quote this section in the main text that I’ve been using for my chart:

Pluto (Planet of Transformation) in the 12th House Woolfolk, 2001

“You have a compelling desire to understand, to see deeply into philosophical questions. There may be a secret sex involvement in your life. You a a private person and don’t share your emotions easily. Good point: profound imagination. Bad point: may hide feelings of anger or resentment.”

I feel like my chart ends on a high note. I also think that because it’s my last house, that gives lots of teeth behind the fact that I’ve been a slow developer. I’ll probably go back to my love life for writing soon and like that I researched more than just my Sun, Moon and Ascendent before I had a first date with a woman who seems to be a solid romantic prospect.
