The 12th house in astrology is often referred to as the house of the subconscious, the hidden and the spiritual.
It is associated with dreams, secrets, intuition and the unseen aspects of life.
This house rules over solitude, confinement (such as hospitals and prisons) and self-undoing.
It also relates to karmic debts, past lives and the coll ective unconscious.
