An individual with natal Moon in the 12th house is always extremely sensitive to external currents, highly intuitive and with a tendency to hide their emotions. This placement can make the individual quite vulnerable, but also bring gifts of clairvoyance.

The 12th house is traditionally ruled by Pisces and Neptune, a sign and planet that are rather passive and feminine, deeply connected with water. The Moon is strongly connected with the water triplicity as it rules Cancer and is not debilitated as it does in fiery placements. Nevertheless, as the 12th house is the Achilles’ heel of the natal chart, such a placement can be quite dangerous and troublesome.

The gates towards other realities are quite open when the Moon is placed in the 12th house, and this is even more strengthened if it is in a water sign. This fact by itself is rather neutral, yet the aspects that the Moon receives from other planets play a huge role. A well-aspected Moon will create a psychic with strong healing abilities who unconditionally helps other people, while an adversely aspected one can trigger quite a lot of phobias, depression and lead to emotional isolation.

A 12th house Moon grants the native with powers of osmosis towards the feelings of people that surround him. The individual will have antennas, always receiving the mood that hovers and making him rather empathetic to all those who suffer. The sentimental character of the native will make him strive to help people who he regards as martyrs; on the other hand, he may frequently become a martyr himself in giving a lot towards others and not caring about himself.

People with the Moon in the 12th house should be very careful when dealing with hypnosis or other techniques that can involve manipulation of the mind and subconscious messages. They usually are the easiest subjects to hypnotize, and actually can even follow orders without having to fall into a trance/hypnotic condition to receive them. The Moon in the sky can act as a hypnosis pendulum, so they should especially be very careful in such occasions, while also sleep with their curtains closed as the moonlight may lead them to sleep-walk or indulge in other activities that they will not remember later.

The Moon in the 12th house can bring quite a lot of fears, usually connected with emotional issues. The native may be afraid of being abandoned by people in his life, and he might frequently enclose himself in his own shell because of that. He might spend long periods away from people, just to avoid getting too close and experiencing fears of losing them. These matters are usually echoes of childhood fears connected with the native’s mother. The mother may have been subconsciously perceived as an enemy during the native’s young years and may have had a very mutable mood, depressive tendencies or even hysteria. In addition, she might have been hospitalized quite a lot in her life, while also been in prison, monastery or other institution of seclusion.

The native’s imagination is very strong, and he will often be daydreaming. The Moon placed there can disturb his sleep, bringing quite a lot of dreams which in case of bad aspects may be nightmares. In addition, many nights can be sleepless and full of thoughts, sometimes melancholic. If you have this placement you might discover monthly recurring patterns of difficult nights, either connected with the Full Moon or when it transits its natal position.

People with Moon in the twelfth house may not control their emotions easily, and they will often overflow as the sea’s tides. Fragile and withdrawn, they are very easily hurt even if they will not express their pain. On the other hand, this overabundance of Lunar energy can make them strong healers, especially through nurturing other people. In many occasions it can also bring a job that involves caring; we should not forget that the 12th house rules all institutions, hospitals, and clinics. The Moon in the 12th house can make someone a nurse, a cook or elsehow bring jobs in such places of restriction. This will mostly happen if the 6th or 10th house cusps are placed in Cancer.

As the 12th house is responsible for hidden enemies, a person whose Moon is afflicted by “malefics” like Mars, Saturn or Pluto will have repeating situations of female enemies. These might not be perceived as hostile in the beginning and will be frequently viewed as friends even if they are already backstabbing the individual. If you have this placement, keep an eye on doubtful females (or people of strong Cancer/Moon emphasis) but try not to become paranoid, for it may furthermore alienate you from social life.
