About 12th House in Vedic Astrology
The twelfth House in Kundli (natal chart or birth chart) represents our subconscious and hidden nature. Known as Vyaya Bhava in Vedic astrology, it is the house of loss, liberation, isolation and decline.
Following the House of Ambition and Growth is the 12th house. This house governs misery, waste, expenses, divine knowledge, sympathy, Moksha (final emancipation) and life after death. It is also the house of detachment.
This house makes you incur expenses in many ways, for example: buying an insurance policy, spending on a wedding, education fees etc.
This house corresponds with Pisces energy, which is characterised by imagination, intuition, and isolation.
The 12 th house is considered an unseen realm that exists without physical form – the realm of dreams, emotions and secrets. This house even governs the secret toil of the mind and other unfortunate matters. It is connected to fear, anxiety, misgivings, suspicion and inferiority complex. Solitude, secrets, silent sufferings and undoing of the self are all part of this house.
When planets transit the 12th house, we tend to attract karmic people into our lives. But during this period, we must remember that not all relationships are meant to last.
Being the last house, the twelfth house also relates to Moksha, which means final liberation from the cycle of birth and death. It opens the doors to ultimate peace and tranquillity. It is about acknowledging the importance of spirituality. The 12th house also implies the
culmination of one’s life as it nears the end and strives to fulfil its purpose of acquiring a better life in the next birth. It is believed that life will be a waste of time if it is not elevated spiritually.
