The 12th House
(future,intuition,psychic)
The Twelfth House represents the field of experience in which you are challenged to come to grips with the spiritual or transcendent dimensions of experience. It always involves letting go of something -- and if we resist, then typically the thing to which we are clinging is ripped away from us by "bad luck".
Slipping the bonds of ego, letting consciousness expand beyond the narrow framework of personality -- that's the terrain of the Twelfth House. A planet located here stands between you and higher states of consciousness, not as an obstacle but as a bridge. For that reason, it's helpful to view such a planet as your "Guru" or "Master Teacher.
"The very existence of a planet in this part of your chart tells us that in this lifetime you're ready for a quantum leap in awareness. But to accomplish that, you must practice a very specific "yoga"... What yoga?... That depends on the planets involved.
Before we identify that spiritual discipline, there's one more point -- your planetary "guru" is rather insistent.
If you avoid the methods the Teacher suggests, your poor ego will take some hard knocks. To the old astrologers, this was the "House of Troubles. That is a fair description of what's in store for us if we choose to maintain our usual attachments, ignoring the call of the inner worlds.
