MOON IN THE 12th HOUSE; Observations
People with this placement are disconnected from their emotions. In the moments in which they do try to understand and feel their emotions, they find it all to be very confusing and they begin to drown. Their feelings run so deep and have to be shoved down into the subconscious in order for these natives to function. They were never offered the opportunity to fully process their emotions during childhood, they were forced to hide their sadness and keep it a secret. This is a heavy burden to bear, and it is as if a deep sense of melancholy follows these individuals throughout all their lives. They want to keep their emotional vulnerabilities hidden, and will only cry in private. They also lack healthy coping mechanisms and their emotional states can be very overwhelming. This placement indicates an emotional absent mother, or the abandonment of a mother. As a result, these individuals have a hard time putting their trust within women. They struggle within their female friendships even though they desire deep connections from them. They often recreate trauma from their mother with female companions. These types have so much care and love to give to the world, so these relationship struggles are very tough for them to have to experience. They want more than anything to be cared for, and to care for someone else. These individuals have a hard time expressing their needs and showing people the ways in which they need to be nurtured. They are afraid that their wants will push others away so they try to remain silent when it comes to this topic. However, doing this puts them in many unfair situations and circumstances. They will overly cater to others in an attempt to avoid abandonment. Their self-sacrificial nature only benefits others, and doing this won’t get them the recognition they deserve. These people want to alleviate suffering from others, but they can’t properly do this until they can confront their own suffering. They must learn how to put themselves first. They are not destined to be martyrs, doing this will only contribute to their own self undoing. Sometimes, people with this placement can be naive and delusional. Despite their guarded nature, they can be too trusting within areas they have yet to properly consider. The right people will start to come in once they start to protect and nurture themselves.
