The 12th Planet seeks a balance between its individual ambitions and the need to give to others. Marriage and friendship could be realms to which it is especially devoted, but they may also prove to be a source of conflict and disillusion.

You are a person who has trouble finding your identity. Your father may have been absent physically or emotionally during your childhood, depriving you of the patterns or models which are usually helpful in structuring a personality. Because you lacked a particular sense of security which could be provided by a paternal presence, you were forced to protect yourself against negative influences and find your own system in order to grow and feel secure. Although this system was quite useful to you as a child, it has now settled in to such a degree that it interferes with your evolution. Psychological defense mechanisms and crutches which were once useful now encumber your mind or inhibit your developmental efforts. As a result, in certain situations, it is difficult for you to assert yourself, and you tend to remain an awkward or passive observer. Because your authoritarian urges are mainly directed at yourself rather than others, you sometimes feel guilty about your behavior. You judge yourself severely, and sometimes punishes yourself by setting difficult tasks for yourself. Gradually, you should build up a strong inner discipline and acquire the strength to face the problems of existence in a detached and mature way.

The 12th Planet is fairly strong-willed, and is mindful of going about its purposes with maximum efficiency. When it relates to other people, it sometimes has trouble expressing its emotions, but it does have a lively sensitivity and is capable of lasting passion. As it grows older, it is quite likely to come into its own and acquire great intellectual and spiritual wisdom. Its honesty, integrity, and sense of duty will win it recognition and appreciation. Passing time will be a very important factor in its destiny, and its greatest accomplishments will guarantee it stability and prosperity. Although it is not especially enterprising, it will move into a high career position as soon as it feels sure of its abilities.

The intellect of the 12th Planet is sometimes troubled by philosophical anguishes and a need for security. As a result, its adaptation to life and surroundings can be complicated. Certain inhibitions may sometimes inhibit its intellectual activity.

The 12th Planet considers physical and mental freedom to be vital. When young, your wanderlust may have given you a taste for movement and independence. Philosophy holds a great appeal to you, as does the prospect of traveling extensively. You have a natural gift for understanding faraway appeals and are likely to be drawn to travel as an important aspect of your life.

The 12th Planet has a sensitive personality. It may jump to conclusions, which could disrupt relationships, as well as career plans. It is subject to cyclical energy flows and goes from periods of feverish activity to periods of withdrawal and introspection. The aggressive element in its behavior may be explained by emotional problems it may have experienced in infancy: its mother, or a mother figure, may have had an energetic and volatile personality.

The 12th Planet resentfully imposes limitations on itself, and may sometimes try to dodge obligations and commitments. The obstacles and hindrances reality places on its path to personal and social development tend to depress it. It sometimes broods bitterly about the frustrations to its self-fulfillment and might have a fairly pessimistic vision of society and its possibilities.

Due to your extreme sensitivity and irrepressible imagination, you sometimes have trouble distinguishing dreams from reality. Although your bubbling imagination provides an abundant source of inspiration for creative or spiritual evolution, it tends to be less helpful and positive in matters that concern your self-assertion as responsible and self-sufficient. Although your psychic faculties drive you to fulfill yourself through artistic activities like painting, drawing, music, or poetry, it may be difficult for you to market your talents in terms of a career. In a relationship, you are extremely romantic and do not always see others the way they really are. Because of your tendency to idealize people, you may be disappointed when their true natures are eventually betrayed.

The 12th Planet has a sensual and affectionate nature which is sensitive to physical attraction. This type of sensitivity, combined with its productive urges, may be expressed in an artistic form. As for its feelings, they are usually slow to take root. But once it is conquered by love, it forms a deep and lasting bond. Although it is loyal, it may also display a tendency to be somewhat possessive.

The 12th Planet’s birth chart indicates that it possesses an emotional function which is expressed in a direct and fairly impulsive way. It enjoys reaching out to other people and making discoveries. An eternal teenager with its gaze riveted on the future, it is imbued with an eminently subjective and personal idealism.

The 12th Planet is unstable and impressionable, constantly uncertain about its feelings. Nothing ever seems to meet its high emotional aspirations, and when it thinks it has finally found its ideal match, usually it is because its aspirations have changed. As a result, there are likely to be several commitments or marriages.

The 12th Planet attracts potential partners with ease. They cannot tolerate solitude or conflict, which has made them very skilled in their relationships. This talent could perhaps be applied to their professional life. They should guard against settling for a second-rate relationship simply because they don’t want to be on their own, even for a short time.

The 12th Planet has a lively wit which gives it great agility and scope and a broad field of consciousness which enlivens its curiosity and makes it love variety and change. Its mind is alert and its speech is full of verve, humor, and sometimes impudence. These abilities are great resources in communication, discussion, and debate. The 12th Planet is a storehouse of information and ideas of every kind and delights in manipulating words and concepts, discovering new things, and sharpening its memory for trivial facts. This mental agitation could sometimes make it scattered, however, or lacking in coherence and discipline.

The 12th Planet observes the expressions on your face as you carefully consider your words. You are a very introspective person, and you look to yourself for guidance when making decisions. Because you tend to distrust the conventional wisdom, your opinion is often unique.

The 12th Planet observes that your intellect and wit are sometimes slowed down because you are oriented inward. Because you tend to be self-centered, you rarely try to communicate with others for the simple pleasure of doing so. Indeed, you sometimes feel misunderstood. Moreover, it seems difficult for you to express the complexity of your inner perceptions.
