Neptune in the 12th House

How Neptune works in the 12th house

You feel a need for solitude. Sometimes everyone seems like a stranger and their problems seem unimportant. Now and then, you need to be alone to put your thoughts in order, daydream, or simply admire the clouds.

Neptune is at home in the 12th house, so it can give you extraordinary intuition, psychic abilities, a gift for clairvoyance and communicating with otherworldly beings, and prophetic dreams whose meaning becomes clear later. Your subconscious is open to a stream of images and symbols, but not all of them are safe. You're often too passive to filter the information coming in.

If you're highly empathetic, your tendency to feel sorry for others and help strangers can backfire. At best, you may be met with ingratitude.

When a friend goes through yet another crisis, you tend to suffer too, taking every complaint and lament to heart.

What the 12th house governs

The 12th house in your birth chart concerns everything buried deep within you, beneath the surface: your subconscious and your secrets. It represents your deepest feelings and hopes, insecurities and fears, secrets and painful stories from the past that you want to forget. The twelfth house describes everything hidden inside you that others—and sometimes you yourself—can only guess at. It also reveals your strengths and weaknesses, looking beyond the obvious to your hidden potential.

Neptune's zodiac sign in your birth chart governs your spiritual side: your ideals, fantasies, illusions, and dreams, as well as mysticism, premonitions, and intuition.
