Birth Chart - 12th House - The Natural House of Pisces

The 12th house is naturally associated with the sign of Pisces and its ruler Neptune.

After becoming part of a larger group structure in the 11th, in the 12th house we experience the dissolution of our separate individual ego.

This house represents the area of experience where we feel that we are influenced by forces and powers that are beyond our control. In this house we surrender our individual wills to the service of a higher power or ideal, or direct our energies toward greater self realisation and spiritual goals.

On a more mundane level, this house is associated with large institutions such as hospitals and prisons, where many people end up if the self-surrender described above is overdone, or made to the wrong ideals.

Hence this house is also known as the house of self-undoing.
