TWELFTH HOUSE JUPITER
The House of Drawn Shades - The field of unseen causes
Karmic liabilities. Behind-the-scenes maneuverings. Sacrificial service. Repressions, neuroses, and psychogenic complaints. Deception, secrets, and treachery. Hidden enemies. Prisons, asylums, and hospitals. Occultism.
Because Jupiter ruled Pisces until Neptune was taken into the astrological pantheon, this placing is a very important one.
This position often indicates a person who will extend assistance to others without expectation of reward, but who, nevertheless, receives their fair recompense from the all-seeing "Lords of Karma." They can be the proverbial good Samaritan whose pleasure in sharing grows out of the knowledge that the love they expend on others also expand their own consciousness.
There may be a true sense of vocation, perhaps religious but possibly also geared to fully developing the potential in some chosen subject that needs great dedication. There can also be reclusive tendencies, and usually they need to work alone in peace and quiet.
The attitude to life is very philosophical, and the mind an excellent one. It will be up to the individual not just to drift into his or her own little world and opt out of reality, since the potential is excellent and must be used wisely and practically.
A marvelous compromise can be reached if they find work that has a concrete end product, and it is this that is shown off to the public, rather than the individual themselves. For instance, here we may have a solitary writer, potter or perhaps inventor, whose work speaks for itself rather than the person who projects their own personality. Indeed, the individual may wear a psychological mask in public, and be truly known by few people.
Esoteric subjects and religion, perhaps in the broadest sense, may be important. This is a good placing for the medical or caring professions, or for work in institutions.
