Mega Astrology Brainstorm: The 12th House

The 12th House

Dawn

Dawn. First glimpse. First light. Rise and shine. Stretch. Yawn. Clear the sleep sand from your eyes. Do your best to put the past behind you. Past lives. Past loves. Unrequited love. Longings and nostalgia. Lost in the past. Yearning for something unknown and just out of reach.

It’s a new a dawn
It’s a new day
It’s a new life for me

– Nina Simone, “Feeling Good“

Timeless Lineage

Ancestral beyond family
Ancient beyond blood lines
The world is my desk
Meditation
The big picture
Beyond humanity
The long view
Time traveling as vocation
Your ancestral vocation
Your vocational lineage

Consider the newly risen energies in the twelfth house to be the individual’s first tentative steps to put something out in the world.
– Robert Hand, Horoscope Symbols

The Actor

The part you are playing in the cosmos
The part of you that knows what you’re doing here, that your conscious self does not
You are the actor playing a part
Your role in the cosmos
The role you are acting out
Undercover
Feeling supported by the universe
Feeling inspired by the universe
Whether or not you feel supported from beyond
Finding your muse
Absorbing the world
Big osmosis
Stream of life
Pretend (12th House) v. Practice (6th House)
Fake it till you make it
Heart of a poet

All the world’s a stage,
And all the men and women merely players;
They have their exits and their entrances,
And one man in his time plays many parts,
– Shakespeare, As You Like It

What you are not aware of. Looking for something to unify your life. Something un-nameable. Estrangement from mainstream society. Visionary. Fantastic fantasies.

Applied wilderness

There is a delight in the hardy life of the open. There are no words that can tell the hidden spirit of the wilderness that can reveal its mystery, its melancholy, and its charm. The nation behaves well if it treats the natural resources as assets which it must turn over to the next generation increased and not impaired in value. Conservation means development as much as it does protection.
– Teddy Roosevelt, 21 Conservation Quotes From President Theodore Roosevelt (Moon in Cancer 12th house)
