The 12th house alongside the 4th and the 8th house is the house of
karma, and the planets found here have great karmic connections.

By Justyna Rossy

If you have more than one planet in the 12th house, it means that you had various
experiences in previous lifetimes. In this lifetime, you may become interested in searching
for the unknown or learning about spirituality and your life purpose. If you don’t have any
planets in the 12th house, then you should look at the sign on the cusp of this house, its
ruler placement within the chart and the aspects it makes to other planets or angles. You
may also want to check in the interpretation of the planet that rules your 12th house and
whether you can relate to its interpretation. Suppose your 12th house is in Cancer, the
ruling planet would be the Moon. In this case, you should read the interpretation of the
Moon in the 12th house.

The Natal Sun in the 12th house

The Sun in the 12th house indicates that you are an old soul. In the previous life (lives)
you were probably someone famous or important, who lived in the public eye like a royal
or a leader. Therefore, in this life, it will be quite easy or natural for you to get a similar
position or become a person with authority, but you should carefully look for the sphere

1/6
in which you will show your individuality. Your soul chose to incarnate and stay behind
the scenes. That may be a hard lesson to learn for someone who had everything she/he
wanted to be done immediately.

The 12th house is the hidden sphere of the chart and with this, in mind, you may find that
as someone with the Sun placed here, you dislike direct Sun and may prefer to stay in the
shade. When it comes to crowded places, you may also feel drained quickly and need time
alone after, in order to regain your energies.

People with this placement are like energy sponges and by no means should feel guilty
or strange when if they have a need to withdraw. It is actually essential for them to stay
in peaceful and calm places where they can relax and release tension.

The Sun here could also indicate karma with the father. Often the father figure was
emotionally detached during childhood or unavailable for some other reason.

You may find it challenging to control the inner compulsion of guiding or teaching others.

When you were in your mother’s womb, you felt unique, and this could be because your
parents were very excited and couldn’t wait to meet you.

The Natal Moon in the 12th house

With the Moon in the 12th house, there is a karmic debt with the mother figure, and also
about mothering and being a mother. This kind of soul may have previously been for
instance too overprotective (Moon in Cancer), too authoritarian (Moon in Capricorn) or
too cold and withdrawn (Moon in Aquarius). Whatever the scenario, the Moon in this
house strongly suggests a prior life emotional connection with the mother, but not only in
a positive way but also in the negative. The mother figure could have been a reason for
some disappointment. In the present life the relationship with the mother for a person
with the 12th house Moon is often challenging. The child feels emotionally neglected and
under nurtured. The goal is for the child and the mother to find a common understanding
and break the cycle of karma through forgiveness.

The Moon is the planet that rules our feelings and emotions and oftentimes people with
this placement react very emotionally to everything that they do; they are also often
moody and capricious, resulting in an inability to understand their emotions.

Furthermore, with this lunar placement, one may find it difficult to control the internal
need to handle everything very emotionally.

When you were in your mother’s womb, you were truly aware of your mother. You felt
everything that she felt and everything that she experienced.

Natal Mercury in the 12th house

Mercury, in the 12th house, indicates that in the previous life, you were genuinely focused
on ideas and theory. Moreover, you could have participated in academic or experimental
research, which only ended on theory. For that reason, you came to this world with a high

2/6
intellectual curiosity, which should not be wasted, but skillfully channelled.

You can quickly become frustrated if you do not share your thoughts or ideas with others.
You have a subconscious need to think, speak, write, and communicate. You should try
not to say anything in vain, and you should not waste your mental and scientific energy,
but instead use it in practice.
You may find it challenging to control the internal need to communicate with others,
speaking, and writing. When you were in your mother’s womb, you heard everything that
was said to her and around her.

Natal Venus in the 12th house

With Venus in the 12th house, in the previous life, you were either a great beauty, a well-
known lover, or a great poet or artist. Your focus was on art and big romances. In this life,
you want to experience joy and love above all, or you may also dream of practising some
art.

Furthermore, you have an unconscious need to strive for beauty (regular visits to a
beautician, special diets, etc.), and to everything that is associated with pleasure and
romance. You have a deep need to give someone love. The challenge you may have is to
control the need for loving – showing respect and taking love away, which may be
associated with either actual romance or one-sided love. When you were in your mother’s
womb, you were aware of her love or the lack of it.

Natal Mars in the 12th house

With Mars in the 12th house, in the previous life, you were a soldier or someone who
practised martial arts, or you were strongly challenged on some sporting scene. In this
life, you need to express yourself on a physical level. That may not always be easy to do,
because you do not always understand your motives or misunderstand them. You either
exaggerate anger and aggression or restrain yourself by accumulating, and then you
explode. Find a way to systematically spend your physical energy on workouts or by
spending time in nature.

You may find it challenging to control the internal pressure of physical activity, which
may be associated with either aggression or suppression.
When you were in your mother’s womb, your mother may have undergone surgery or had
an accident.

Natal Jupiter in the 12th house

With Jupiter in the 12th house, in your past life, you had a very active and glamorous
social experience. You could have been born into a noble family, or you were someone
who was very well educated. In the present incarnation, life, it is essential for you to be an
active part of the community. Also – because Jupiter is a planet of exaggeration – you
may be starting too many projects or spending too much money (more than you have).

3/6
You are craving social attention and need to be accepted in society with care and warmth.
You wish to share your passion with others, and perhaps you are in a constant search of
your place on the earth. You may find it challenging to control the inner compulsion of
exaggeration and get recognition in society. When you were in your mother’s womb, you
felt very comfortable. That could be thanks to the proper medical care that your mother
received during pregnancy.

Natal Saturn in the 12th House

If you have Saturn in the 12th house, it means that in the previous life you may have
suffered as a result of poverty or other life difficulties and you came to this world with a
sense of regret, sadness, or guilt. In this life, members of your family may be poor, needy,
sick, or have too many duties and burdens. It may be difficult for you to believe that you
deserve happiness because you often get a sense of sadness and loss and unconsciously
sabotage your projects and possibilities. One of the lessons in this lifetime is to learn to
forgive yourself and others.

Ultimately, the 12th house Saturn gives you a lot of life wisdom because over the years
people with Saturn in this house, are strengthening, and the emerging restrictions,
troubles, and difficulties, increased in their spirit and body.

You may find it challenging to control the internal pressure of frustration, dissatisfaction,
and the feeling of limitations. When you were in your mother’s womb, you felt a
restriction and did not feel comfortable.

Natal Uranus in the 12th House

If you have Uranus in the 12th house, it means that your previous life was exciting,
intense, full of unexpected changes (revolution, earthquake, volcano eruption, tsunami,
etc.). Now you probably also live in a family that has been fluctuated by various changes.
In this life, you want, and you may do many changes or reforms. You have a lot of nervous
energy and a tendency to sudden compulsive actions. Innovative Uranus in the 12th house
encourages and forces you to look for people, companies, and organizations that will
appreciate your creative ideas, or encourage/force you to repair this world yourself.

You are unable to control the internal compulsion to free yourself from
restrictions/gaining and maintaining independence and making sudden, sometimes
strange changes, reforms, or revolutions. When you were in your mother’s womb, you felt
some disturbance, anxiety of the mother related to the changes.

The Natal Neptune in the 12th house

With Neptune in the 12th house, in your past life, you were a dreamer, a poet, a spiritual
person, or maybe even in the worst scenario a drug addict. Your family tended to mix into
affairs, illusions, deceptions, uncertain, or illegal matters. In this life, you may have a
compulsive desire to escape from reality through laziness, alcohol, etc. Now you have to
learn to hold fantasies at the level of consciousness, and spiritual and creative gifts should
be grounded.

4/6
You may also find it challenging to control the inner urge of falling into states of
confusion, illusion, and entering into vague situations and interests. When you were in
your mother’s womb, it was difficult for you to distinguish one from another. Perhaps
your mother was drinking, taking some medicine, or being exposed to some toxic
substances.

The Natal Pluto in the 12th house

Pluto in the 12th house in the natal chart indicates a past life regarding matters related to
violence and power. Perhaps you were involved with the wrong people of society. For
instance, you were a criminal or victim of war or psychosis of the masses. In this life, you
are geared unconsciously to survival. Your psyche seems to be often a can of Pandora.
Perhaps you are afraid of your dark power.

One should realize that every power has to be used for the good of others and for doing
good in the world. With Pluto in this house placement, you may find it challenging to
control the internal compulsion to enter into extreme, plutonic situations. When you were
in your mother’s womb, you were aware of the separations or extreme situations that were
happening around your mother.
