There are 12 houses in the birth chart, and every house has its significations. Out of these houses, some are called good houses while others are called bad. If we talk about the bad houses, the twelfth house is usually counted in a bad house because it shows losses. However, no house can exclusively be termed as good and bad because they depict both good and bad traits in life. It is a karmic house and shows debts of past lives. The twelfth house in birth chart may cause you huge losses and expenses but at the same time may help you attain ultimate purpose of life, i.e., salvation!
Let’s explore in detail the twelfth house:
What does the twelfth house signify?
The twelfth house stands for the losses, expenses, confinement, imprisonment, Vedic sacrifices, donations (given), foreign settlement, separation from own people, bed pleasure, prolonged hospitalization, work related to water resorts, fines, and sexual relations outside wedlock, etc.
What can one understand from the twelfth house?
If we look at the significations of the 12th house, most of them indicate losses and separation from loved ones. It is true! The twelfth house causes distances; now, this may be in relations or a place of residence. The same 12th house sends you away from your motherland, and it may also give you a new country as a motherland. In astrology, it is said that whichever planet is placed in the 12th house in janam kundli is assumed to be in the bucket of losses.
But is the 12th house always bad? The answer is no. It is the 12th house, which is called the house of moksha, and makes the person get rid of the cycle of birth-death and re-birth. The 12th house is a mysterious house that shows hidden things in life now. These may be opportunities as well as enemies. It is interesting to know that under some circumstances, the 12th house helps a person gain immense wealth as well because it is second (house of wealth) to the 11th house, which is a house of gains.
Which planet gives a good result in the twelfth house?
The planet Venus gives excellent results in the 12th house. Venus is the planet of entertainment, comforts, love, and luxuries. So, when it is placed in the 12th house of expenses and sexual pleasures, it makes the native enjoy life to the fullest. The person spends to fulfill his materialistic desires and at same time also enjoys a good sexual life. However, the position of Venus as per sign and other associations has to be checked because excess of everything is bad.
In the natural horoscope (kalpurush kundli), Venus gets exalted in the 12th house as the sign Pisces falls into this house which is an exaltation sign of Venus. The exalted planet is bound to give good results in life. However, the planet Venus here may give some health-related issues due to its aspect on the sixth house of diseases. But altogether, it is best to have Venus placed in the 12th house.
