12th House in Astrology
In astrology, there are 12th House in the zodiac wheel, each representing a different aspect of our lives. The final House, the 12th House, is known as the house of the subconscious, representing all of our thoughts, feelings, and actions that lie beneath the surface. Everything that we are unconscious of shows up here. It’s also the house of spirituality and how we connect with forces greater than ourselves. Because this house deals with some heavy subjects, it can be a little intimidating. However, this isn’t a bad house; it just helps you how you face your darkest moments so you can step into the light.
In birth-chart readings, our 12th House shows us our intuition works, how we heal, our spiritual journey, our hidden talents, and how we can manifest success in this life. It also informs us how we act when we are alone, how we can hurt ourselves, and how we can accept ourselves as well. The 12th house shows us our shadow selves, our past lives, our sacrifices, and our karma debt.
Basically, the 12th House shows us the person we are that we’re not unconscious of, making it a very important house to study.
