Okay, so I’ve been diving deep into astrology lately, and one thing that’s been really bugging me is my Mercury in the 12th house. I mean, the 12th house? It’s like the cosmic closet where things go to hide, right? So, what happens when your communication planet is chilling in there?
First, I grabbed my birth chart. I’ve used a few different websites before, but this time I just used a simple one. Typed in my birth details – boom – there it was. Mercury, smack-dab in the 12th.
Digging into the Meaning
Next, I started Googling like crazy. “Mercury 12th house” – you wouldn’t believe the stuff that comes up. Lots of talk about hidden thoughts, subconscious communication, maybe even psychic abilities. Some of it felt kinda spooky, to be honest.

Then, I went through my piles of books about astrology. I have noted down that the author said something about the 12th house being about dreams, intuition, and the things we don’t express openly.
- Dreams: I’ve always had super vivid dreams. I used to keep a dream journal, but I kinda fell off the wagon. Maybe this is a sign to pick it back up?
- Intuition: Okay, I’m not saying I’m psychic, but sometimes I just know things. It’s hard to explain. Like, I’ll get a feeling about a person or a situation, and it usually turns out to be right.
- Unexpressed Thoughts: This is where it gets tricky. I’m not always the best at saying what’s on my mind. I tend to overthink things, worry about how people will react, and then just… keep it to myself.
Making it Real
So, what did I do with all this info? Well, I decided to try a few things:
- Start Journaling Again. I find an old notebook and try to jot down my thoughts and feelings every day, even if it’s just for a few minutes. I’m not worried to show it to other people.
- Meditation. I try to sit quietly for 10 minutes to clear my mind. It’s a little hard, but I can keep it up.
- Pay more Attention to my Intuition. Trust my feelings and let them be my guide.
It’s still early days, but I’m already feeling a little… different. Like I’m more in tune with myself, and maybe a little less afraid to speak my mind (sometimes!). It’s not a magic fix, but it feels like I’m finally starting to understand this weird, hidden part of my chart.
Has anyone else messed around with their 12th house placements? Any tips or tricks? Seriously, I’m all ears!
