Twelfth house – Analysis
S N Rao
Analyzing every
house in a birth chart is important to understand the nature of the native. The
12th house in a horoscope is known as a dusthana (which means malefic
house). A planet occupying the 12th house or the position occupied
by the 12th house lord indicates several things which help in
understanding the weak points in a horoscope. The purpose of understanding
these is to forewarn the individual of the bad things and to help him take
correctives.
If the 1st
house indicates self then the 12th house indicates everything else about
the individual which he is not. If the 1st house indicates “I am”
then the 12th house indicates everything about “what I am not”. The
matters indicated by the 12th house are self-undoing, hidden
enemies, bondage, prisons, hospitals, ashrams, monasteries, institutions. In
Vedic astrology, one of its meanings is final liberation, or total freedom from
ego and karma. It is also known as moksha or spiritual house. It is also the
house of dreams and imagination. This house gives us information about the
subconscious mind as well as the social life. The 6th house is the
house of work, health and service hence the opposite results are felt by the 12th
house i.e laziness, retreating from work, stay in isolation, withdrawal from
society, chronic health problems.
