Pluto in the 12th House

How Pluto works in the 12th house

You tend to pick yourself apart, and something is always troubling you, whether it's repressed passions, fears, insecurities, or your conscience. You're better off consulting a professional psychologist than trying to untangle the darker sides of your personality on your own.

At times, you're prone to all kinds of obsessions, such as wanting power over your lover—something that matters enormously to you. You want to know all their secrets, desires, and thoughts. Yet you keep your own secrets firmly under lock and key and react badly when someone tries to invade your personal space.

You hide your emotions. Perhaps, deep down, you're afraid of losing control of them, because an angry person with Pluto in the twelfth house is not a sight for the fainthearted. This is partly why you avoid people and spend your free time alone. Another reason is that you can see right through people, and not everything you see makes you want to keep talking to them.

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.

What Pluto represents

Pluto spends more than 20 years in each zodiac sign, so its influence extends to an entire generation. Pluto governs masses of people rather than individuals, global processes rather than isolated actions. It represents everything unknown and hidden, along with all processes of development and reproduction on Earth. What traits define your generation? What global trends shape it, and in which directions does it develop? Pluto reveals the answers.
