TWELFTH HOUSE IN ASTROLOGY

The twelfth house is often said to be a difficult house in that it is the house of hidden matter and issues that have been brushed aside and left undone.  It contains the skeletons in the closest, if you will.  It is traditionally associated with prisons, hospitals and places that are out of view of the general public.  These places are isolated or unknown and work in ways that most would not uncover.  Working behind the scenes is a general theme for people who have strong planetary links to this house.

It is also considered a secret house and an occult house where the subconscious tends to work relentlessly to uncover unknown factors that lie beneath the surface.  It is the house of self-undoing and in many cases it can signify how someone stands in their own way.  They can gain knowledge with inner reflection and open channels to the subconscious, recognizing that they are part of the collective consciousness that envelops us all.

Karma is also known to have its domain linked to this house, along with charity work and the ultimate understanding of our sub-conscious connection.  The sixth and twelfth house deal with service, and they constitute service to others.  While the sixth house may reflect on service to others and the rewards it may bring, the twelfth house speaks of service with no due rewards—shall we say selfless service.

The twelfth house is also linked to secret affairs as well as indicating progressive illnesses and weaknesses within the body that can build over time and eventual be the cause of death.  The aspects linked to this house’s occupants and the house’s cusp ruler can provide information in this regard, however you also have to look at the ascendant and the aspects to it as well as the Sun to get a clear picture of chronic health conditions that may be suggested in an Astrology chart.   

In commissioning a chart, you would get a clearer representation of the meaning of the twelfth house in your Birth chart and the influence of transits and progressions affecting this area of life including your hidden or dormant psychological makeup.

Our Little Ones

It is a wonderful experience to share our lives with our little ones.  Whether they are our children, grandchildren or other people’s children, they are an experience in themselves.  It is incredible how they sometimes come up with such mature material and say things that far outweigh their childhood experience.  Many are old souls returning into this incarnation to spread their knowledge and this often begins at a very young age.  They are masters of life in a small package.  Do not be fooled by their child like appearances; they have a lot to say.

It is an honor to have these children your life, as they have chosen to be with you and you have chosen to bring them into yours.  In many cases, you are old acquaintances that have returned once again to be together and this alone makes your relationship special.  Never take your relationship with them as meaningless or of minor significance. 

As they mature, most relationships grow closer and tighten the grip on the love generated between you.  Yes, there will be trying times if you are their parent especially in the teen years and in early adulthood, but these sometimes trying times are the stepping stones to understanding.  These individuals can easily become your best friends as time goes by and you share a common feeling of comfort that can rarely be found with others.

They are the special ones that have come into your life again.  Be sure to teach them through your actions how best to live life.  Teach them love just as they are teaching you unconditional love. Teach them compassion, just as they are always there for you and willing to help in their own special way.  Give them your support especially in times of strife-- just as they will offer you a hug or kiss when they sense you are struggling.  Be sure to talk openly about the spirit connection we all share.  Allow the gifts of intuition and psychic inclination to flourish and do not sell them short on their particular way of expressing this.

Enjoy the little ones today as life waits for no one.  Enjoy each stage in their evolution as you evolve right along with them.  You have been brought together through love.  Ensure that love is number one in your every expression.

Being of Assistance

Never belittle yourself by thinking that you have nothing to offer.  You are special and have an important role in this life, whether you believe this or not.  You are able to assist others through channelling your energy into proper frequencies based on love and compassion.  You have the ability to tap into your resources and assist anyone in need; you just have to believe in yourself.  Confirm this within and make alterations for your own personal needs.  Resolve any internally battles by accepting responsibility (not ownership) for your own shortcomings.

You choose which route to take in life and will meet up with individuals that sway your life’s direction and alter your course in intended directions.  When someone interferes with your own personal growth, you have to take charge and move yourself away from this situation.  Taking charge begins with realizing that you needed this individual to come into your life in the first place to awaken knowledge and then to take whatever information gathered and then move forward with it.

If someone comes into your life with issues that they are willing to share, it is important to understand that they need to do the work to heal but their realization of this might be activated from you.  It is not by chance that you have crossed paths and your purposes may be to offer assistant for them to be capable of lifting themselves above their challenges.  Ultimately, however, they are the ones that make the decision to change and to make the actual adjustment.  You promote action; you initiate movement, but they decide when to move away from their dilemma.  If they are not ready for adjustment, it does not matter what you do.  You cannot shift them.  It might start with you but it ends with them. 

Ego cannot interfere.  As long as you are aware that you are only a conduit and not the actual healer, the ego remains in its place.  We all have the capabilities to allow healing power to flow through us.  Often without even realizing it, we say just the right thing or offer just the right approach to assist others in their time of need.  The ego is a force that can either work with us or work against us.  It can provide reinforcement and help us with our belief systems that can aid, or ego can inflate and only serves to hinder own personal growth.

The next time when someone knocks on your proverbial front door and asks for help, know that you have the tools to unlock any problem and open the door.

AGES 38-44 IN LIFE & ASTROLOGY

We have previously written on issues arising during the ages 38 to 44, but it deserves more attention. 

This is the turning point where one moves from early adulthood into a more mature individual.  It is a time of reconciling with oneself and usually we are pretty comfortable with who we are at this point in our lives.  This is a time when we are restructuring our association with ourselves on a more profound level.  A sense of individualization is occurring at a rapid pace, due to the major influences taking place in our lives.  We are experiencing transiting Saturn in trine to its natal position and Neptune in square to its natal position.  These signify inner transformations and a realistic approach to who we are. 

There may even be a feeling of urgency as our quest in life, our ego and the ongoing search for “who am I?” are undergoing alterations in the consciousness of those that feel they need answers.  There is no formal training when it comes to dealing with the midlife crisis and no one can say they are prepared, particularly because no one knows exactly what to expect.  Each individual goes through their own personal crisis followed by an awakening period.  This is a time of great soul searching and a desire for inner change which often coincides with outer change, as one affects the other.

The body is also undergoing physical changes during this time, and those who have placed too much attention on physical appearance may experience depression due to the reflection they are seeing in the mirror.  Many who have placed importance on appearance will go deep within to find out what they actually have to offer, as the appearance previously has held an elevated position in their lives.  The ego is actually in a somewhat delicate state as the inner self gains supremacy and control, at least for those who are searching for something more in life.

This is often considered a turning point as we truly begin to question who we truly are and relentlessly search for answers.  Many turn to deeper subjects such as Astrology, Religion, Spiritualism and/or Mysticism to find answers to some truly profound questions.  This is an awakening stage for many who have been wrapped up in the material world and are left feeling empty and want to experience more meaningfulness in their lives.

Doors that have been boarded up are now beginning to open and a deep restlessness is awakening within.  The search continues and those longing for answers begin to question their existence.  This search activates the opening of channels within as well as awakens a more intimate relationship with the inner self.

Words of Wisdom

 “The sons and daughters of men and women are one, and I am one with them.  I seek to love, not hate; I seek to serve and not exact due service; I seek to heal, not hurt.  Let pain bring due reward of light and love.  Let the soul control the outer form and life and all events and bring to light the love which underlies the happenings of the time.  Let vision come and insight.  Let the future stand revealed.  Let inner union demonstrate and outer cleavage be gone.  Let love prevail.  Let all people love.”

                                                                                                                                                ALAN OKEN

I wanted to share these few words from the great Astrologer, Alan Oken.  I believe these to be a motivating factor in understanding our oneness as brothers and sisters of the human race and joint connection with spirit.  Alan Oken uses these words as a Mantra and his advanced state of consciousness is evident by his chosen words. 

 These words resonate true and reflect on our life’s destiny.  Let the guides within assist us in the unlocking of our purpose and allow the unfolding of that calling within our vision of today.  Bring to life all the inherent qualities that wait to be awakened and aligned with your fellow man in our destiny to bring love and light into our world.

Age 39 in Astrology

At age 39, we mark the second return of the nodes to their Natal (birth) position.  This is an important life cycle spiritually, as metaphorically the nodes are representative of our soul’s journey.  There are two nodes, each exactly opposite the other.  They are referred to as the north and south nodes.  The south node speaks of our last incarnation and indicates what we have brought with us into this life.  These characteristics can assist us but they can also hinder us, depending on how we use the inherent knowledge that we have brought over from our past. 

The north node is indicative of what we have come into this life to develop and bring into fruition.  The north node characteristics are completely new to us - very unfamiliar territory.  Sometimes the course we take in this life in order to fill our soul’s requirements can be difficult.  We often have some degree of resistance toward anything new, but life will bring to surface incidents that can enhance the need to grow and push us in the intended direction.

At the time of the second nodal return, it is as if a gateway has been reopened and we are re-acquainted with our commitment, but this time on a much more mature level.  The previous return happened about the age of 19 and this period introduced us to adulthood.  From the time of our Saturn return (age 29) until now, we have been re-visiting our purpose but mostly on a sub-conscious level.  Now in entering this new cycle, we are reviewing our internal vows and making adjustments consciously.  We are about to embark on the maturing phase of these proposed ventures.  This cycle awakens our spiritual quest and the soul’s ongoing climb to mold with our conscious mind and our intended path or enlightenment.

Spiritually, we are entering into a phase when one feels compelled to pursue a course of action that appeals to our transcendent mission.  Many feel a strong push in this direction.  Even if they are not aware of which direction to take; there is a sense of urgency.  This period releases us to our purpose which has been held primarily internally in the subconscious self.  The process for most of us is unhurried and for some even tedious, as there is a feeling that something is happening and an awakening is taking place, but it moves very slowly.

 

The next return at around 57 produces much more significant results as throughout this process we are becoming awakened to the real purpose of our mission.  During the time around the age 58 we also enter our second Saturn Return which follows along the same path as our first return experience at about the age 29. 

As you can see there are great internal factors at work and as internal changes take hold, external change is usually a by-product.  There is a greater sense of destiny with this nodal return, and along with the solidification that Saturn offers, you will get a clearer picture of the purpose of this incarnation.  We will discuss this 50’s time frame at a later date.

Suffice to say the door has been opened and through meditation and an acknowledgement of a greater purpose than that of our earthly existence, we move steadily toward our intended path.
