Okay, so I’ve been diving deep into astrology lately, and one placement that really caught my eye was Venus in the 12th house. I mean, the 12th house is all about the subconscious, hidden things, and even self-undoing, right? And Venus? Love, beauty, values. It’s a trip to put them together. So, I started digging into my own chart to see what’s up.
Getting Started: Finding My Venus
First things first, I pulled up my birth chart. Used one of those free online calculators – typed in my birth date, time, and place. Boom. There it was, my whole cosmic blueprint. I scrolled around, looking for that little Venus symbol (you know, the circle with the cross under it?).
Spotting the 12th House
Then I located the 12th house. The chart’s divided into 12 sections, like slices of a pie. Found the 12th, and… yep, there she was. Venus, chilling in the 12th house. My mind was already racing with possible interpretations.
Deep Dive into Research
Next, I hit up the internet. I read through tons of articles and forum posts. Some of it was, frankly, super confusing! Lots of talk about past lives, hidden enemies, and secret sorrows. But some of it resonated. Like, the idea of having a rich inner world, a strong connection to creativity, and maybe even struggling to express love openly. That felt… familiar.
Journaling My Feelings & Experiences
So, I grabbed my journal. I started jotting down all my thoughts and feelings related to love, relationships, and my own values. I asked myself some tough questions:
- Do I keep my feelings hidden?
- Am I drawn to “hidden” or unavailable partners?
- Do I feel a strong need for solitude and creative expression?
- Do I sometimes sabotage my own happiness in relationships?
It was kinda uncomfortable, to be honest. But it also felt really illuminating. I started seeing patterns I hadn’t noticed before. Like, how I tend to daydream about ideal relationships, but then get scared of real-life vulnerability. Or how I pour my heart and soul into my creative projects, but sometimes struggle to share them with the world.
Experimenting with Expression
Knowing that, I decided to try something that makes me feel good: shared my creative work with people online and let them know how I truly felt. I also tried to be more open with my friends and with my partner that day. It was scary, a lot of uncertainty, but I think this is the way forward.
My Venus in 12th House Takeaway (For Now!)
It’s an ongoing process, I feel my Venus in the 12th house is a call to explore my inner world, to embrace my creativity, and to learn to express my love and values more authentically. It’s not always easy, but it’s definitely a journey worth taking.
