Can anyone tell me a little bit about this? Please smile
I'm not so familiar with the house placements. I've read a little and it seems like a very heavy placement. Tbh, a lot of it rings true enough. Other than what can be found on the internet, I'm hoping to get dxp's thoughts, or the thoughts of those who know this stuff really well.
Thanks!
yea tell me... gives me the most over-active conscience you can imagine.
I have saturn in taurus in the 12th house so I can help some.
Saturn in the 12th house denotes past karma that we're working out in this lifetime. The 12th house is ruled by Pisces. It's the house of seclusion, things behind the scenes and involuntary confinement like prison or mental asylum. Saturn represents the hard lessons we have to learn in life. Part of our lesson in life involves confronting our unconscious fears, which is no easy task. How do you confront something that resides just below the level of your consciousness. There's also the fear of having people see us when we're down. We'll get spooked by our irrational fears and hide out over a boogie man that exists only in our minds. That's the worst case scenario to having that placement but saturn doesn't want us to rest on our laurels. Saturn pushes us to learn the hard lessons. And it's step by step with Saturn. No get rich quick schemes with "father time."
Saturn in scorpio might imply that you have some issues around your sexuality and how you express it. On the other hand, scorpio is all about life/death/resurrection so I think it's a powerful ally to have in this journey. Scorpio wants to uncover the truth. Needs to smell the dirt. Mistrusts appearances and surface explanations. So scorpio will help you find out what's eating you and saturn can help you grow from it.
It also helps to know the aspects saturn makes in your natal chart. Those aspects can give an indication of how the energy might play out, where the conflicts might arise.
I've been told having saturn in your 12th house in not an easy place for saturn to be. I'd have to agree but conflict is there to signal growth. And we're working on some deep spiritual lessons in this lifetime. I think that's the real message of saturn in the 12th. Hope that helps!
PS: And Saturn itself isn't about what's easy. It's about what's difficult and learning what it has to teach us. So Saturn is both the teacher and the challenger in our lives. He's there to make us grow.
this is interesting Este... thanks so much for the info smile
I think what this brings to light is actually more deep seated than I care to admit. i've always held certain truths close to the chest.

Yeah I hear you on holding things in. I survived some crazy childhood moments by "holding it in." It might have served me well as a child but does me no favors as an adult. That's part of our lesson with saturn in the 12th. We gotta find the way to free ourselves. But the 12th house is a spiritual house. It's the last house in the zodiac and might be the most important one.
Este... wow... same here. I know for a fact that something about knowing things and not revealing that i knew them helped me while growing up... even when i was very young. it's not that i held emotions in... as though they needed to get out. i simply didnt want to let them out. for me it feels like neurotic hoarding of emotions. giving them up is akin to giving up some sort of control. when i was younger i wasnt as self aware as i am now... i did it on instinct and impulse. but now i'm very conscientious of it. i'm more selective about how i come off than i appear to be.
Something I just read was that if your Saturn is in the 12th house it signals issues with your father being absent physically or emotionally. When I read that it hit me like slap. I've always felt my dad abandoned me emotionally growing up, well that he never really bonded with me, even though he was physically there. I have Saturn in Scorpio in the 12th. I have issues with guilt for stupid little things, or feeling guilty but never being able to identify the cause. I put a horrible amount of pressure on myself and really struggle to engage normally with life. I retreat into myself a lot and when I'm struggling I need to be completely alone.

I created this account just to message you. I don't normally do that. I was looking for forums about Saturn in Scorpio in 12th house and was blown away at the accuracy and the SIMILARITIES.

I'm a TAURUS, like you, my father was emotionally unavailable, I Retreat to myself a lot, I struggle with life and I was also recently ghosted by a Psychopathic SCORPIO. ARE WE CLONES?????
