TWELFTH HOUSE NEPTUNE
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.
Neptune is at home in this placing, since it is the house of Pisces, the sign that is ruled by this planet. Neptune usually works well from this house, though often it will add secretive and reclusive tendencies to the personality.
It may be necessary to withdraw and get away from the pressures of life from time to time. It is advisable to have a room of one’s own where peace and quiet can be enjoyed.
Creative work executed away from other people is also indicated by this placing. They may shun the limelight, allowing their talents to speak for them.
This is also an excellent placing for those who wish to follow the caring professions, or who find it rewarding to work in institutions. There is usually considerable sympathy, empathy, understanding and identification with suffering.
The person with a strongly aspected Neptune in its natural house is likely to go to the end of the line in one direction or another. They may render compassionate service to the sick and suffering, or they may be sick and suffering themselves.
They are acutely sensitive to the painful aspects of existence and have a tendency to fall prey to undiagnosable ailments of psychosomatic origin. A cloistered life may be preferred to the distracting commotion of the mundane sphere.
