Some people have planets in the 12th house. Generally these people are very secretive by nature. Which makes them prefer to keep their issues to themselves and refusing and denying things to others that some issues exist in their life. Occasionally, secretiveness refers to people who are likely to engage in activities behind their partner's back. This kind of secretiveness can be damaging to a relationship. The twelfth is house related to secretiveness. Planets in the twelfth are important signification of secrets in life.
The 12th house is the house of illusion, secrets, deception by others, self-deception, dreams, drugs, chronic illness, institutions ( hospital, jail ) and intuition. The 12th house is the house of shadow, loss, sorrow, escapism, bed pleasure and isolation. Planets in the 12th house and rulers of the 12th house show areas of life that are likely to lead to loss. The 12th house is considered a malefic house and this house produces problems in our lives and any secrets in a relationship can lead to big problems. Of course, loss also can lead to great spiritual growth, so this house should be seen as a bigger picture of life.
Planets in the 12th house of any one of the partners is an important clue about personality. The 12th house is near to the first house especially if the planet is more than 20 degrees.
When the partner's planets are in the individual's twelfth house, and especially when they make conjunctions with natal planets already there, then existing twelfth-house planets and the house as a whole are "woken up." The partner causes the individual to have to look at his or her hidden twelfth-house issues without any specific triggers. The individual may experience the relationship as intense and challenging. In the context of a relationship, the main planets to look for are the planets Sun, Moon, Mars, Venus, and the rulers of the seventh and the fifth house.
When one of the partners has the Sun in the twelfth house, (sun is the individual power) and it is likely that other people don't really see this person's individuality, or the individual's deliberate try to hide this and the other partner isn't able to understand very well.
When one of the partners has the Moon in the twelfth house, it usually shows a problem in expressing feelings. This might be because of the fear of loss or sorrow, probably because it has been experienced before. It is not an uncommon problem for some people to avoid becoming deeply involved in a relationship because of the fear of loss. Moon can be a great help for the partners to understand the problem and find safe, conscious ways to deal with emotional problems.
When one of the partners has Mars in the twelfth house, Mars is the sensual drive it shows the partner might have a secret sensual relationship.
When one of the partners has Venus in the twelfth house. Venus is the natural signification for relationships, but it does not make it is a good place to have. There can be too much secretiveness. It is not unusual for people who have extramarital affairs to have Venus in this position, and automatically make someone unfaithful. This also may be the case for a partner who has the ruler of the fifth in the twelfth. The ruler of the seventh in this house also makes for secretiveness about the partner, about relationships, and even toward the partner. But not everyone with a twelfth-house Venus or fifth lord is likely to have an affair or be secretive.
Transits of planets in the 12th house are likely to trigger issues related to this secretiveness. Hidden issues rise to the surface, sometimes many issues are in fact hidden from the twelfth-house person. They might not be able to recognize that these are his or her own issues that have come to the surface, and hold the partner responsible for the sudden appearance of these problems. This house of self-undoing, though, it is difficult to get a clear picture of what is going on in this house. So the energies of any planets of partners that fall into your twelfth house are likely to be harder to understand than those falling in other houses in the birth chart..
