What Role the Twelfth House Plays in Your Life?

Since the Twelfth House represents our Quest for Spirituality, it is the area of the chart representing that quest by Signs and Points (if any are in this segment of the chart). If you have no Points in this House or Sign, then the energy is waiting to respond. Therefore, Points that progress or transit into this House will activate the energy at specific times in your life. People who have Points in the Sign that rules your 12th House will also activate this area of your life.

If you have a Point or several Points in this House, then the values and concerns of this House will take on the significance of the Point or Points involved. Suppose your Sun occupies this House. If so, then your Life Path will be devoted to “what you believe about life so that you may inspire others”. Your approach to spirituality, the human condition, and shared consciousness will take on primary importance in your life journey.
