Mars transit House 12

When Mars transit House 12, you will feel less “driven” than normal. Sometimes, Mars in the 12th house creates a sense of stagnation and confusion, similar to the sign of Pisces. Mars in this placement can be very confused about the way forward. He doesn’t always know what he wants or how to get it. He may float through life or he may change his mind over and over without actually accomplishing much. With Mars transit House 12, you may find it tough to start or complete projects. You might even have trouble figuring out what the project should actually be about. You may also find that you have trouble confronting people or sticking up for yourself. During the Mars in the 12th house transit, everything can seem really murky and confusing. You may question yourself and feel unable to act because you just don’t know the truth. Sometimes, Mars transit House 12 can indicate health issues that change your normal routine or slow you down. This is especially likely if you’ve been driving yourself at a punishing pace. Mars transit House 12 generally indicates rest. This transit is a time to take that “one step backward” so you can take two steps forward when Mars goes direct again.

Mars transit House 12

It is likely that the Mars transit House 12 awakens subconscious motivations and psychological impulses. During this period you may begin to be interested in the investigation of the unconscious or in exploring the field of the occult or of parapsychology. It is also a moment of frustration, of self-denial and of staying in the background. Some repressed energy can manifest itself in the form of irritation and unrest; they are such subtle energies that one often is not aware of them. Patterns of past behavior that have become completely unconscious, are activated without you noticing and now is the time to face them. It is also a good time to work alone or to work in the field of social assistance, where the priority is to help others. When Mars transit House 12, you’re driven to retreat and reflect. Being around other people can be draining to you right now, and you prefer being alone. Working alone is when you have the best energy, and you want to be out of the spotlight and working behind the scenes where no one will notice you. Your dreams become more prominent, and you can have some wild dreams, find yourself daydreaming more, or conversely, have trouble sleeping. Your imagination can surge, and this can be a creative time. Your intuition can surge as well, though you may not be consciously aware of that. Make sure you give yourself plenty of time to rest, replenish, and recover so you’re ready for when transit Mars enters your 1st house and life gets hectic.

Mars transit House 12 can be a hard time, especially if you have afflicted planets or aspects within your twelfth house. You will sometimes feel frustrated, and it’ll hit you particularly hard if you don’t get credit for the work you’re doing. Repressed energy will make you moody or irritable, so it’s worth spending time bringing what is hidden below the surface out to face the light of consciousness, the light of your consciousness. Do it by observing your mind in all its turbulence. Don’t judge what comes up, just notice and learn from it.
You may notice that what you thought were behaviour patterns of long ago in the past are now active and are thwarting your attempts at asserting yourself in the world. But there’s no reason to be defeated by them when you are conscious of what they're doing. Seclusion can have a beneficial effect on you, just don’t try to escape reality. Rather use the time to reflect on what’s going on with you, or to be productive while away from the distractions of everyday social life. It’s a great time to get work done, especially if you focus on the benefit to wider society of what you're doing. 

Mars transit House 12 can be a time of irritation of self-sacrifice

When Mars transit House 12, your drive and your energy will intersect your dreams. This is a time of intense dreaming. These dreams are often revelatory and show you, often uncomfortable, deeper truths about your life. It’s worth taking some time to retreat a little bit during a Mars in the 12th house transit. Reflect on these dreams and see where they’re taking you. However, don’t completely withdraw from your life during this transit and strive to balance these assertive mystic energies with your day-to-day life. Your subconscious motives and the psychological causes of your actions will resurface. You may experience moments of frustration, but if you learn to work with this energy, it can help you to understand and solve your problems. However, you may also be irritated and have no idea why you are acting according to patterns of behaviour learned in the past, even on a subconscious level. This transit gives you the ideal opportunity to work with these patterns and break them. 

If you have adverse aspects in your natal chart or if Mars is making negative aspects when transiting to other planets. Then Mars transit House 12 can be a time of irritation of self-sacrifice, or you can be focused on self-gratification, which can cause endless problems. You may choose to spend time alone to understand your psychological, emotional or spiritual wounds at this time. Although painful, it can uncover valuable information that helps you overcome self-destructive thoughts and habits, or you may help others understand their suffering. You may find yourself constantly annoyed or disappointed without knowing why; it is crucial you try to get to the bottom of these feelings rather than numbing yourself to them. Problems can occur in your personal relationships due to your unique mannerisms; behaviours that you have been unaware of may now be brought to your attention due to other people reacting negatively to you.  So you may have no choice but to look at how you relate to others; still, you may blame others and not take that look in the mirror that is needed. You may not openly try to get your way now, but you may use passive-aggressive or manipulation tactics to assert yourself on others at this time. But they will sense this, and although they may not directly take you out, they may take evasive and calculating actions to get in the way of your personal goals at this time. They could tell your boss that you are slacking off at work, spread gossip; others may take sneaky action like spitting in your food. I know petty, write things anonymously about you online, let the air out your tire, devious stuff like this that ruin your day in some way. You must confront whatever it is that’s going on in your subconscious mind at this time instead of running away from it because your emotions that you run from can be played out in others, and you will have to face them anyway. It may be hard to accept your shadow behaviours or deal with your unhealed emotions. But it’s best to because they will come out in impulsive thoughts and actions that cause problems in your life until you deal with them. Mars transiting the 12th house provides the power to do the long and painful work of handling the things you wish to avoid; it’s best to spend as much time as you can alone during this transit. Doing research, watching motivational videos or any other content that can help you deal with your problems directly, although helping others may help you help yourself at this time. Giving something back to your local community by donating or volunteering to charity may be the best use of any excess energy rather than turning to compulsive, self-destructive habits. Because this is mars energy we are talking about in the 12th house, you may find it easier to escape with over socialising, taking drugs etc.. Getting lost in pleasure, but this won’t be best for you in the long run. It will be best to take time out to heal, understand, forgive, have compassion for and manage yourself.
