A person with a natal moon in the 12th house is always extremely sensitive to external flows, very intuitive and inclined to hide his emotions. Such placement can make a person rather vulnerable, but also bring clairvoyance gifts. The 12th house is traditionally ruled by Pisces and Neptune, a sign and a planet that are rather passive and feminine, refer to water. The moon is closely connected with the triple of water, since it controls Cancer and is not weakened, as in fiery places. Nevertheless, since the 12th house is the Achilles heel of the natal chart, such placement can be quite dangerous and troublesome.
Astrology: moon in the 12th house
This is a very interesting accommodation. The gates to other realities are open when the man / woman has the Moon in the 12th house, and this becomes even stronger if it is in the water sign. This fact in itself is quite neutral, but the aspects that the moon receives from other planets play a huge role. A well-displayed moon creates a psychic with strong healing abilities that unconditionally helps other people, while an unfavorable aspect can cause a lot of phobias, depression and emotional isolation. The black moon in the 12th house of a man gives him the ability to perceive the feelings of the people around him.
Mood effect
A person will have a connection with a higher reality, always in a good mood. He will be quite sympathetic to all who suffer. The sentimental nature will make him seek to help people whom he considers martyrs. On the other hand, he often can become a martyr himself, giving a lot to others and not caring about himself.
People with the Moon in the 12th house should be very careful when dealing with hypnosis or other techniques, which may include manipulating the mind and subliminal messages. As a rule, they are the easiest subjects for hypnosis and in fact they can even carry out orders without having to fall into a trance (hypnotic) state in order to receive them. The moon in the sky can act as a pendulum of hypnosis, so they should be especially careful in such cases, including sleeping with curtains closed, since moonlight can lead them to a walk in a dream or to other activities that they will not remember later.
The moon in a woman’s 12 house can bring many fears, usually associated with emotional problems. The native may be afraid to be left by people in his life, and because of this - often enclose himself in a shell. He can spend long periods away from people, so as not to be too close and not to fear losing them. These questions usually reflect children's fears associated with the mother of the mother.
Communication with mother
The mother may have been subconsciously perceived as an enemy in the natives' youth and could have a very volatile mood, depressive tendencies, or even hysteria. In addition, she may have been hospitalized for quite some time, was in a prison, monastery, or other institution.
The native's imagination is very strong, and he often dreams. The moon located there can disturb his sleep, bringing quite a lot of dreams, which in case of bad aspects can become nightmares. In addition, many nights can be sleepless and full of thoughts, sometimes melancholy. If you have this arrangement, you may find monthly recurring patterns of difficult nights associated with either the full moon or its natal position. People with the Moon in the twelfth house can hardly control their emotions, they are often overflowing with sea tides. Fragile and withdrawn, it is very easy for them to hurt, even if they do not show it.
Lunar energy
On the other hand, an overabundance of lunar energy can make them powerful healers, especially thanks to caring for other people. In many cases, it can also bring work that involves caring. We must not forget that the 12th house operates all institutions, hospitals and clinics.
The moon in the 12th house of the natal chart can force a nurse, cook or someone else to arrange work in such places of restriction. This will happen if the tubercles of the 6th or 10th house fit in Cancer. Since the 12th house is responsible for hidden enemies, a person whose moon is struck by "pests" such as Mars, Saturn or Pluto will repeat situations with female enemies. They may not be perceived as hostile from the very beginning, often people will be seen as friends, even if they are already stabbing in the back. If you have this place, watch out for dubious women (or people with a strong emphasis on Cancer / Moon), but try not to become paranoid, as this can further alienate you from public life.
Sensitivity
The person with the moon in the 12th house tends to be overly sensitive and often feels extremely vulnerable. All emotional boundaries are blurred, and psychic and instinctive qualities are probably very strong. The moon is figurative here, but it is also open to the collective unconscious, it can be “porous” and sometimes emotionally suppress. In general, it will be difficult to cope with everyday life.
Stealth
Many people with this kind of moon hide their feelings, and some experience loneliness and isolation, feel helpless and helpless due to some early childhood event.
A person often needs to be behind the scenes, and some are attracted by a caring role, which includes a selfless distribution: protecting the poor, caring for the sick, and calming those concerned. The Black Moon in the 12th house is also strongly attached to everything that unites, irrationally, extensively and symbolically.
Shyness and Phobias
Some carriers of the Moon in the 12th house of a man can be very shy and suffer from feelings of claustrophobia and other fears. They are strongly associated with the life of their dreams and need a calm and peaceful atmosphere. In addition, they often have unlimited compassion and sympathy for everyone, but they are often swept away with sympathy and receive every depressed person.
Howard Sasportas describes the satellites of the twelfth house as psychic vacuum cleaners that “suck” everything that circulates in the atmosphere. A person may also feel lonely and misunderstood, but he needs loneliness and space to cope with everyday life.
The moon in the 12th house of a man says that this is a private person who does not dare to reveal his feelings and needs. Often, fearing his vulnerability, a person blocks the awareness of his feelings, seeks refuge in his inner world in the usual actions that he can perform automatically. Contact with his hidden emotional "I" can be difficult because he has developed a lifetime of protection from the primitive levels of need and addiction that scare him. A person can feel great shame in relation to a child who is buried inside him.
Parenthood
In astrology, the moon controls the mother and often reflects the parent who was hospitalized. Mother may have even died. The female figure in early childhood may have been incredibly sensitive and brought many sacrifices for the family.
This position of the moon indicates emotional attachment and sensitivity to everything ethereal, baseless and eternal. No matter how sensitive you are, you often have delayed reactions to your own emotional experiences. You need frequent moments of loneliness in order to be emotionally charged with energy. This need, although strong, can also lead to feelings of isolation and misunderstanding.
Mysterious emotions
Your own feelings and emotions are a mystery to you. So, it is often difficult to share with others what you feel. Often you get out of contact with the world and need a healing, peaceful environment to bloom and lose your temper. You identify yourself with the oppressed, deprived of civil rights and want to help them or somehow take care of them.
When the man’s moon is in the 12th house, he is a man with a spiritual nature. His intuition is strong, he can read other people's emotions, which is really a gift.
Creative person
Music is very important to you and brings you comfort during stress. You may have artistic talents that you hide because you are afraid that you are not good enough to fulfill them. You are diligent and would benefit from learning how to express your intricate emotions through recording, keeping a journal and reflecting dreams on paper. Your emotional nature is sensitive. You will suffer emotional ups and downs in life. You need peace and harmony at home and at work. The natural process of emotions is very exciting, and you can often feel depressed. You do not need medications to treat these submissive feelings, but it would be useful to talk about them, write or share your experiences with close friends. Sometimes you don’t know if you feel your own pain or the pain of others. You attract people who have pain and problems because you can sometimes be a martyr in relationships with others.
You feel the emotions and suffering of others. You can absorb this energy inside yourself, sometimes draining your own. You like to run away and hide, but you can give a lot to the world. Your spiritual gifts are magnificent, and you sincerely care about helping people, often find yourself involved in professions that help the sick, the elderly, the disabled or children. Just make sure that you devote enough time to yourself and your inner growth, healing. You were born intuitive, receptive and compassionate, often experience psychic abilities throughout your life.
Unequal relationships
Relations with her mother were difficult. You may have felt as if you were a “parent” and your mother a child. You were reliable and felt responsible for your mother, you tried to make her life better. Perhaps you perceived her as emotionally vulnerable, weak or unstable, in other words, as a person who "needed you to be strong for her." Your mother may have suffered from depression, sadness, or mental illness. Perhaps she was also spiritual and blessed you with many of her teachings. This type of parenting caused an emotional wound.
If you had to take care of your mother, you might not be able to satisfy your own emotional needs. It may seem that you should always rely on yourself, and it will be difficult to emotionally open up to others. You may be afraid to be vulnerable because you know what can happen if you cannot trust others and don't want to become like your mother.
Even though you have problems with your mother’s figure, you often experience inexpressible connections with her and are extremely loyal to her, regardless of the situation in which you were in childhood. You benefit from your mother and can inherit her spiritual gifts or abilities. She could become a strong spiritual role model in your life by teaching you what is really important, and not what is superficial.
Fatal ignorance
The presence of the moon in the 12th house can often make a person completely unaware of his moon sign. She is already quite unconscious in her work, but becomes even deeper when she is placed in this house, which deals with the collective unconscious. In fact, this can make a person project the energy of his moon sign too easily, feeling like a victim or suffering from the fact that he is “somewhere” in the world. The Virgo Moon, placed here, can lead to complaints that everyone is too critical of her. The moon in a man’s 12th house can be in the deep denial of his moon. So, a person needs to take conscious, self-conscious steps in order to possess this energy and use it constructively.
Empathy
This position is very empathetic, it easily feels what people feel, and captures emotional impressions inside its environment in a manner in which their moon sign intuitively perceives things. Because of this, such people often feel depressed, especially because of the needs of others.
A man with the moon in the 12th house instinctively reaches for help and healing others. But he must find balance and foundation by first helping and healing himself. Retreat into solitude, as a rule, is a necessary solution if there is a feeling that they are swampy and overloaded.
Infinity
The sense of infinity determines the energy of the sign of the moon in this house. These people have great imagination, their dreams are usually very bright and deep. People with the Moon-ruler of the 12th house receive the greatest comfort in the worlds in which they can escape from the real, whether it be night dreams, art life or an exciting spiritual practice. It is in these areas that they find the transcendence that they seek. But it’s also important for them to learn how to return to the real world.
Many people with a progressive moon in the 12th house can behave in difficult times, which makes others wonder if everything is okay with them. Although they are usually very sensitive, they are equally elusive to others. They have a mysterious feeling. And even those around them sometimes wonder if they really know them. Due to the specifics of the 12 houses, the Moon / Jupiter in it is most active.
