The 12th house of an astrology chart is hidden, secretive, and difficult to deal with. Things tend to get covered up in this part of the chart.

However, 12th house synastry placements can offer a lot of spiritual depth, meaningful connection, and personal pleasure. Who impacts who will depend on whether their planets are in your 12th house, or your planets are in their 12th house.

12th House Significations:

  • Unconscious and creative imagination
  • Hidden talents carried over from past incarnations
  • Bedroom pleasures
  • Sleeping or dreaming states
  • Private, secluded places
  • Foreign lands

Planets in 12th House Synastry: Good or Bad?

The Sun (identity and soul) and the Moon (emotions and psychological center of self) entering a person’s 12th house will create a karmic tie.

Malefics, like Saturn, Mars or Pluto, can cause disruption and aggitation to the unconscious mind of that person.

Benefics, like Venus, Mercury, or Jupiter, can cause a lot of hidden blessings and grace, comforting the person.

Their Planets are in YOUR 12th House

Their planetary energies are reaching expression in your unconscious mind. They seem to effortlessly bring out what’s hidden or beneath the surface when they spend time with you.

Sun: ego, confidence, willpower, individuality, self-expression

Their ego and individual authority will have a great impact on your unconscious mind. They might even bring out more confidence in you that you weren’t aware of, highlighting your hidden talents to boot.

Moon: emotions, creature comforts, psychological state

Their emotional nature directly impacts your unconscious mind. You often don’t know why they make you feel a certain way – but they do.

Mercury: intellectual stimulation, communication, and fun

You’ll talk about spirituality and the hidden side of life all day and night. But there can be some confusion. You’re not exactly sure what they mean when they say something.

Mars: passion, energy, sexuality, vigor

You seem to know just how to wake that person up, push their buttons, and get them moving out of their stagnation and stupor.

Jupiter: wisdom, compassion, joy, indulgence

You’ll bring out their hidden sense of humor, joy, and expressive side of themselves.

Venus: pleasure, values, enjoyment of finer things in life

This is a significant combination for increased lust between people. There can be a lot of getaways to enjoy the finer things in life, be it drinking, eating, sleeping, etc.

Saturn: depression, work, discipline, accountability

This is a difficult position. Saturn is never about fun and hope. He is the planet of accountability and responsibility. You may feel a sense of isolation that comes from nowhere when with this person.

YOUR planets are in Their 12th House

Your planets are being expressed in their unconscious mind. Think of it like this: your energies are bringing out the qualities of that zodiacal house.

Sun: ego, confidence, willpower, individuality, self-expression

You illuminate a side of your partner that they weren’t aware of before. You can bring out hidden parts of themselves.

Moon: emotions, creature comforts, psychological state

You feel an indescribable connection to this person, but might be confused as to why.

Mercury: intellectual stimulation, communication, and fun

You’ll spend all day communicating about the spiritual side of life. You might find more playfulness and youthfulness when traveling to foreign lands or in isolated places.

Mars: passion, energy, sexuality, vigor

You seem to know just how to wake that person up, push their buttons, and get them moving out of their stagnation and stupor.

Jupiter: wisdom, compassion, joy, indulgence

You’ll bring out their hidden sense of humor, joy, and expressive side of themselves.

Venus: pleasure, values, enjoyment of finer things in life

This is a significant combination for increased lust between people. There can be a lot of getaways to enjoy the finer things in life, be it drinking, eating, sleeping, etc.

Saturn: depression, work, discipline, accountability

This is a difficult position. Saturn is never about fun and hope. He is the planet of accountability and responsibility after all. The good news is that you may not have as many losses or expenses while in a relationship with this person.
