Money Matters and 12th House

This post may please be read alongside two other posts on the same topic: Expenses and Spending Money - 12th and 2nd house and Money Matters. In a horoscope, 12th house is said to signify the following with respect to money:

Losses Expenditure

Essentially, we are talking about going away of money, either benefiting the individual (the pleasure of spending) or causing grief (losses). If there are benefic influences, the effect is former, where the individual spends the money on good deeds. If there are malefic or cruel influences, the effect is that either the money is spent in a questionable way or the wealth is frittered away. The placement of the 12th lord is important. The following houses cannot be considered good for placement of 12th lord: 1. 2nd house and 11th house: lack of money of out of control expenditures 2. 4th and 7th house: no property In general placement of 12th house lord is considered bad in trines or quadrants. However, according to How to Judge a Horoscope, Volume 2, 9th house is considered excellent placement for 12th house lord provided there is other benefic influence on the house/planet. Good placement of 12th lord and good placement of planets in 12th lord, make a person generous. Benefics in 12th make a person thrifty. A placement of afflicted planets will fritter away the wealth. Dr. Raman provides a set of guidelines as to how the money would be spent: S.No. Planet 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Sun Mars Venus Moon Type of expenditure/loss money taken away by government of the day Enemies/Wars, ransom, cheating, fire Scandals, blackmails, etc. Medical bills
