Sun in Pisces in the Twelfth House

With your Sun in Pisces, like natives of the other water signs (Cancer and Scorpio), you have the ability to see deeply into the human psyche. You feel things before you know them and your feelings are rarely wrong. If you get a hunch, others would be wise to pay attention. Part of your clairvoyance stems from the fact that you understand first with your heart, and only then do you rationalize what you know intuitively.

As an individual with your Sun in Pisces, you possess superb intuition and a seemingly bottomless understanding of other people, yet your extraordinary sensitivity can be your most vulnerable point. You are too impressionable to each passing influence, too susceptible to someone else’s hard-luck story or plea for help. For you, learning to say no can be a lifetime project and you may never learn how to do it at all.

A fatal flaw in the Sun in Pisces individual is the tendency to flee from what you don’t want to deal with, and this can lead you into a world of addictive behavior. At times, your life may become so punctuated with trouble and heartache that you try desperately to escape. Having your Sun in Pisces, you must fight hard for stability, for the strength of purpose and balance needed to combat the negativity of laziness, carelessness, and emotional confusion. You need to develop a positive self-image, play on your strengths and ability to take responsibility, not let yourself fall victim to bad choices and your predilection for self-undoing. For the Sun in Pisces, your life lesson is to learn self-doing.

With your Sun in Pisces, you are capable of great sacrifice and hard work in the service of a cause or an ideal. Intellectually you are curious and like to explore the unusual and hidden. Although you can be impractical, even lazy, you are also capable of prodigious work when you are involved in a project you truly care about. The thing is that despite the fact that you work unselfishly for others, you find it hard to be strict and disciplined with yourself.

Having your Sun in Pisces, because you blend compassion and understanding with great verve, you exert a unique power on people whose lives touch yours. You may feel you lack self-confidence to be a leader, but you are definitely a guide, teacher, and role model to many. You are also a fey charmer and a mischievous wit who loves to laugh. Yet because you are fundamentally unsure of yourself, you prefer to work alone rather than with people. You have an instinct for finding what appears to be the easy way out, and founder in the shallows of least resistance. This is why so many talented, charming, and superior individuals with their Sun in Pisces never attain the position in life to which their gifts entitle them.

The Inner You with your Sun in Pisces

As an individual with your Sun in Pisces, you absorb impressions, images, and emotions from everything around you, and then filter them through your rose-colored view of how you’d like things to be. This is not to say you cannot deal with reality – it’s just that you like to think of life as an ultra-romantic movie filled with happy endings and where everyone has the best possible motives. You’re a big bundle of feelings. You feel intense joy and happiness when you’re involved in a creative project or a loving relationship. The opposite is also true: you can suffer greater depths of sadness than most. Yet you’re tougher than most people think. Push you down and you keep bouncing back like a rubber bathtub toy. You’re charged with energy and get caught up in what’s going on around you. Your greatest strength is in giving to others; you’re always ready to help whoever needs you.

The sign position of the Sun indicates how we seek to express ourselves, develop ourselves, fulfill ourselves, and assert our will and power to shape our environment. The house position indicates the area of life in which we choose to focus the energy of our Sun sign and fulfill the purpose which it represents.

Sun in the 12th House

Traditionally, the Sun in the 12th House is not a strong placement for the Sun.  Rather than expressing and affirming the self, the focus of the 12th House is the dissolution of the self or the turning of the self away from the external towards its own interiority. Thus, you may find it difficult to function in the world and to assert your selfhood. In the 12th House, the self’s natural state is non-assertion. With your Sun in the 12th House, in order to manifest a strong presence in the world you must either overcome this centripetal tendency or you must compartmentalize yourself, creating  an artificial self which deals with the world, and an inner self which watches the  activities of the outer self and lives inwardly. Often, your activities may take place from behind the scenes, from a hidden or private place. Sometimes, you choose to withdraw into yourself and not deal with establishing a strong presence externally. You may also seek shelter, either emotionally and psychologically or manifestly by entering some reclusive institution.

Insecurities

As an individual with your Sun in the 12th House, you become insecure when you subconsciously know that your ego-self is not real and, therefore, cannot really take part in the activities of the world. Having no real self, you cannot really assert yourself. This may lead to two reactions. First, you may become self-renouncing. You may be overly timid and shy, with no self-confidence or self-esteem. You may withdraw from the world rather than face it and reveal your secret – that you are not real. You may also try to destroy the “illusion” of yourself through drugs, alcohol or self-destructive behavior.  Alternatively, you may try to protect yourself from discovering your essential non-existence by projecting a false self that operates constantly in illusion. This persona has no concept of truth and seeks to keep everything hidden and behind the scenes. You are, in essence, your own puppet.

Focus of Your Self-identity

With your Sun in the 12th House, self-identity is problematic for you. You may lack an identity-focus or you may focus your identity through one of the traits associated with the 12th House. You may see yourself as someone who is alone and withdrawn from society. You may see yourself as someone who is compassionate and caring. You may identify with some larger institution within which you can become lost. Or, you may identify yourself as a spiritual being. You may find it difficult to identify yourself with anything corporeal or be attached to corporeality. Instead, you may seek your identity as a transcendent being, destined to be absorbed in the One Essence of Being.
