Absorption of World Pain – The 12th House
The Ultimate and most Epic activity one can have on this Earth is to surrender and sacrifice one’s own importance, one’s desires, agendas, ambition or expectations by giving to others in some capacity. It is through pure love, for the sake of helping others we earn our freedom from this Earth plane. This is the nature of the 12th house. Here is the place where we lift up our loved ones and carry the burden. We take on missions, feel as if we are wholly engaged in a life of purpose.
You feel alive and awake when you have powerful planets in the 12th house. Your heart is open, you care so much about the world, its suffering, the injustices and dysfunctions, the broken spirits and damaged psychology all around you. It is the house of Pisces and is connected to the planet Neptune. Here is where we find psychologists, mystics, monks and adepts. We find people who were once lost in addictions, alcoholism, familiar with therapy, rehabilitation hospitals, physical therapy or serene and contemplative retreats of all kinds. It is a house of retreating, re-examining, peace and seclusion. One desires to hide out here, live another life that not many know about.
