Okay, let’s talk about Mars in the 12th house. This has been a recent deep dive of mine, and I gotta say, it’s pretty wild.
So, a while back, I started noticing some patterns in my life. I’d get these bursts of energy, but they’d be all over the place, you know? I’d start a million projects and then just… fizzle out. Or I’d feel this intense drive to do something, but I couldn’t quite put my finger on what it was. Sound familiar to anyone?
Anyway, I’m a bit of an astrology nerd, so I started digging into my birth chart. Lo and behold, there it was: Mars in the 12th house. Now, I’d heard some things about the 12th house before – it’s all about the subconscious, hidden things, spirituality, that sort of stuff. But Mars? That’s the planet of action, drive, and assertion. It seemed like a weird combo.
I started reading everything I could find. Some of it was pretty dense, but the gist of it was that having Mars in the 12th house can make your energy kind of… hidden, even from yourself. It’s like your drive is buried deep down in your subconscious, and you might not even be aware of it. Or, you might feel it, but you struggle to express it in a direct way. It is described as making me charming and romantic and compassionate, which I think makes sense.
This was a real “aha” moment for me. It explained so much about why I’d been feeling so scattered and unfocused. My energy was there, but it was all tangled up in my subconscious. For example, I’d get these sudden urges to create something, but then I’d immediately start doubting myself. “What’s the point?” I’d think. “It’s not going to be good enough anyway.” Classic 12th house stuff, right? Self-sabotage, hidden fears, all that jazz. I put my energy into helping the people around me. This is because I am open-minded and expressive.
So, what did I do about it? Well, first, I started paying more attention to my dreams. I know, it sounds a bit woo-woo, but the 12th house is also the house of dreams and intuition. I figured maybe my subconscious was trying to tell me something. I even started keeping a dream journal, which was kind of fun, actually.
Then, I started experimenting with different ways to tap into that hidden Mars energy. Meditation helped a lot. It allowed me to quiet my conscious mind and get in touch with those deeper, more intuitive parts of myself. I also started doing more creative stuff, just for the heck of it. No pressure, no expectations, just pure, unadulterated expression. I started painting again, something I hadn’t done in years. And guess what? It felt amazing!
It’s still a work in progress, obviously. I’m not going to pretend I’ve got it all figured out. But I can honestly say that understanding my 12th house Mars has been a game-changer. It’s like I finally have a roadmap to my own inner world. I’m learning to trust my intuition more, to embrace those hidden desires, and to channel that Mars energy in a way that feels authentic and fulfilling.
Here’s what I’ve learned so far:
- Pay attention to your dreams and intuition. Your subconscious is trying to tell you something.
- Find healthy outlets for your energy. Exercise, creative pursuits, whatever floats your boat.
- Don’t be afraid to go deep. Explore those hidden fears and desires. That’s where the real growth happens.
- Be patient with yourself. This is a journey, not a destination.
