The Twelfth House, associated with Pisces, has traditionally been
called the House of Self-Undoing. It represents and contains lessons
relating to navigating and understanding our inner psychological
world. Navigating successfully here, we can instigate profound alchemical
changes that transform patterns of suffering, escapism, victimization,
self-pity and self-delusion into the acquisition of inner freedom,
a sense of self-transcendence, and spiritual connection with our
Real Self. Here lie the blind spots that require deep inner work
to access. Often sanctuary, solitude, and a trust in others to guide
us are needed to get in touch with and integrate what lies in the
Twelfth House. Creative processes may be inspired in this house
and can be important avenues to channeling our expression of these
themes.
Poor navigation of the Twelfth House shows up as hopelessness,
despair, defeat, escapism, mental imbalance, and addictions. Successful
navigation of this territory requires facing psychological "unidentified
flying objects" in such a way that we gain inner awareness
and are able to tap into and be sustained by a sense of the presence
of a benevolent Spirit that guides the universe. What lies here
tells us something about what we must do in order to instigate a
genuine spiritual awakening.
