The Twelfth House
The Twelfth House is a mysterious place. Old astrology books called it the place of our undoing, of imprisonment, of jails, hospitals and other institutions. With both my Sun and my Moon in the Twelfth House I have learned a few positive things about how to use the energies involved.
When you have planets (either in your Birth chart or by transit) in the Twelfth House, it is as though the doorway to the different levels of consciousness is partly open. Impressions, sensations, memories and inspiration come from dreams, the subconscious, past life memories and the connections you have with others in your life. It is very easy to be overwhelmed and confused. You feel isolated; you feel like an alien but, once you have learned to be aware of these energies and learned how to use them, you become the wizard.
The gift of the Twelfth House is that you have the ability to connect with all of these energies. There have been several occasions when I received important answers to questions that I had posed (through a process that I called automatic writing although it was more like taking dictation). These are two of my favorites.

- The river – on moving on in your life
