12th House Stellium Themes pt.2

Take what resonates, leave what doesn't

Purgatory

I saw someone describe the 8th house as death and the 12th house as the afterlife or purgatory and I really like that

a lot of the time it can feel like you're wandering through a thick fog, unsure of where you're going. Things can feel disorientating and dreamlike, or even like you're trapped

when I think of the 12th house, I think of liminal spaces. Liminal spaces are about transition and the 12th house can sometimes be described as the soul before it comes into the body to be reborn (1st house)

I often having reoccurring dreams about walking through empty, endless malls

Introspection

constant need to explore your deep inner world. Understanding your own psyche and pain, embracing the unknown

very comfortable with the darker aspects of life

can get stuck reflecting on the past and grief/loss. It can feel most familiar to you and like you can only shine your lantern backwards rather than forwards

learning how to take care of yourself and de-stress is extremely important (surrender is key)

Mental Health

feeling trapped or ignored in childhood which could lead to dissociation or the freeze response

might have felt unsupported or distant from mother/caregiver. She could've been too enclosed within her own struggles, leaving you to raise yourself

carrying over karma from past lives or having generational trauma

many difficult life experiences that could lead to things like mental illnesses, self sabotage, repeating cycles, hospitalisation, loneliness, withdrawal, addiction

bone-deep exhaustion, feeling the need to hibernate - insomnia, nightmares, hypersomnia

Healing Abilities

you've been through so much and you empathise deeply with others pain. You use what you've learned from your own experiences to help others

very forgiving, patient, and understanding. You make people feel seen and supported and you could have instances of strangers randomly opening up to you

attracting or being drawn to a lot of hurt or misunderstood people

feeling a strong urge to save people and to get rid of their issues for them, even to the point of neglecting your own needs or getting used by people

4th house/6th house people can also experience this

12th House Stellium Themes

(My observations as someone who has this stellium)

Solitude

feeling alienated from others or getting easily exhausted by people's energy, especially in group settings

you can have the ability to read people extremely easily. You can be in the presence of someone you've just met and already feel that something is off

only feeling like you can be yourself when alone

more prone to cut people off, distance, or ghost

enjoy spending time on creative projects, journalling, interests alone

Disconnection

constantly feeling like there's a fog separating you from the world around you and other people

either experiencing chronic dissociation or having episodes of it

feeling inhuman or unreal, like you were dropped onto Earth with no incentive

feeling like you have one foot in another realm at all times

Living more in your mind than in real life or constantly using escapism as a coping mechanism (music, movies, substances, limerence, daydreaming**, social media, etc.)

Projection

having others tell you who you are despite them only knowing surface level information

constantly feeling misunderstood or like no one knows the true you

putting on a mask in front of others, usually unintentionally

being a mirror to other people, they can see themselves and react accordingly

people becoming obsessed with you, either hating you or seeing you as their ideal (especially with Venus/Lilith)

people can describe you as being mysterious, quiet, or like you have your head in the clouds

this can be applicable to 8th house placements/stelliums

Paranormal

seeing shadow figures or experiencing unexplainable things, especially in childhood

being extremely sensitive to your environment and having the ability to pick up on things that others don't notice

prophetic or really surreal/vivid dreams

being really in tune with your subconscious mind while also feeling blocked off from it

again, also applies to 8th house (there's a lot of crossover lol)

I'll be doing a part 2 to this because there's more that I want to touch on
