Planets in the 12th house
A planet in your 12th house brings its own drive into this area of life: the Sun puts identity here, the Moon emotional need, Venus pleasure and ease, Mars effort and conflict, Jupiter growth, Saturn responsibility and delay. If the house is empty, read it through the sign on its cusp and that sign's ruler.
Transits through the 12th house
When slow planets move through your 12th house, its themes come to the front for months or years. You can see which house each planet is crossing today in cosmic weather.
