Aries on the 12th House Cusp
With the sign of Aries on the twelfth house, you can be quick and final when it comes to ending things that have outworn their purpose.
You should always watch for a tendency to keep things to yourself to the point that you self-sabotage through impulsive or daring acts. You could find it easier to take action in hidden ways or behind the scenes, away from scrutiny, and independently. What’s more, you’re not always inclined to consult others before making big moves.
You can make secret enemies through competition, and it would be wise to avoid rubbing it in when you “win” something, whether in games or the game of life.
Your private life or dreaming world can be active, volatile, or excitable–not many people see this side of you! Meditation in motion can be most useful for you, and releasing excess emotion through exercise can help liberate all that pent-up energy.

Taurus on the 12th House Cusp
With the sign of Taurus on the twelfth house, you approach endings with patience and concern about the long term. You may stubbornly hold on to things and situations only because you resist change and upheaval. However, these traits are only apparent to others once they know you very well.
In early life, you might resist looking deeply into your hidden side or subconscious, preferring not to ripple the waters. This may turn into a real liability if you don’t recognize it.
Business affairs can be up and down. If a financial loss does happen, it may be heavy. However, you can also draw in good karma with money through your generosity. Your need for financial stability may not be obvious to you, but worries on this front can disrupt your sleep and ability to feel genuinely at peace and rested. You might make secret enemies due to money matters, private affairs, or stubborn resistance to change.

Gemini on the 12th House Cusp
With the sign of Gemini on the twelfth house, your tendency to overthink can interfere with rest, peace, and spiritual wellness until you address the problem. For best results, difficulties with calming the mind and anxiety issues should be addressed.
You can benefit from your strong ability to stay occupied and busy on your own. You could have plenty of projects, especially related to writing, that you keep quite private.
You might make secret enemies through what you say or write and should therefore watch for too casual comments or for quick responses to others’ comments. Keeping your private words under lock and key can help. It can also be important to read the fine print before signing. Hidden resentments or lack of clarity can involve siblings, classmates, or neighbors.
The twelfth house shows the part of you that is most private or is the most difficult to express with people until you know them very, very well. As such, you may keep your chatty, curious, or bubbly side hidden.
Cancer on the 12th House Cusp
With the sign of Cancer on the twelfth house, you can be quite sentimental about endings. The twelfth house shows the part of you that is most private or the most difficult to express with people until you know them very, very well. With Cancer here, your nurturing or needy, moody, and vulnerable side is likely to be something you keep hidden in everyday circumstances. You present a tougher or more confident image, especially if you have a Leo Ascendant, that masks or protects your sensitive side.
There can be a hidden, troubled, or private theme to the home or family life. You tend to need familiar settings to truly rest, sleep, and meditate, often finding it unsettling to relax when away from home, for example.
Feelings you’ve pushed back can emerge at unusual times, creating some wistfulness. As you naturally absorb the emotions of those around you and your environment, you can often feel emotionally drained or unsettled. You may need more private time than most people to recharge and refresh. However, you can also have strong intuition and psychic tendencies that can work well for helping others.
Leo on the 12th House Cusp
With the sign of Leo on the twelfth house, you may instinctively keep hidden your proud, flamboyant, boastful, playful, or affectionate side. Even if you crave recognition, it can be difficult for you to seek it actively and, especially, to receive it when recognition does come. You can feel uncomfortable with letting yourself shine.
However, you can also be the power behind the throne in certain areas of life, and you’re excellent at strategizing. In your lifetime, there could be some problems with authority or those in charge who might build resentment towards you. Secret enemies can be people in power or past lovers. On another level, you may secretly carry much worry about children, romance, and creative efforts.
Virgo on the 12th House Cusp
With the sign of Virgo on the twelfth house, you may not always feel comfortable expressing your “nerdy,” detail-oriented, worried, organized, or punctual side. You keep this side of you under wraps. Your dreams are detailed and realistic. Generally, you go through all the steps, item by item, before ending something. Similarly, your recall of the past is quite precise.
You’re observant and intelligent, quickly picking up what’s happening around you, but this tendency to over-analyze can lead to unnecessary worry, guilt, and trouble. A propensity to fret too much about the past is something you should work on managing, as it can prevent you from gaining restorative rest. You can be too easily “guilted” into serving others. Some of this support and attention to others is healthy, of course, but you may end up doing too much.
You might make secret enemies from offhand criticism, the discovery of something you’ve written, or through your day job. You may need to jump through hoops or work harder than others to find good health care, employees, or other forms of help.
