The twelfth house falls in Virgo and is ruled by Mercury. The price you pay for personal development is related to your work as a lifestyle/daily round, health habits, physical activity, illnesses. The situations that present you with the need to "repair" something in your life, especially your health and body, the ability to work, to perform the most ordinary and routine daily tasks touch you most deeply and strongly. However, precisely in those moments you get a powerful stimulus to personal growth and transformation. Falling ill, having defects in your body and health is the most dramatic thing for you, a heavy loss, even if it comes to something insignificant and which can be remedied. To reduce the burden of the losses suffered, it would be better to visit and take care of ill/unemployable people from time to time, to voluntarily follow a strict healthy regime on a daily basis even if you do not need one.
Ascendant or Sun in Scorpio
The twelfth house falls in Libra and is ruled by Venus. The price you pay for personal development is associated with communication, relationships with people in general, but especially with partnerships, contracts and agreements that you create with others, with the necessary compromises when communicating with others. The situations that seriously shake your partnerships, threaten their survival, lead to a lack of harmony and involve you in lawsuits and conflicts touch you in a very strong and deep way. This affects not only marital but also business partnerships. Losing a partner or splitting with one is a heavy loss for you but it is the most powerful stimulus to personal growth and development. To reduce the burden of the losses suffered, it would be better to compromise sometimes even if it means suppressing your rights, giving up something that is due to you and which you are entitled to receive in the relevant partnership.
Ascendant or Sun in Sagittarius
The twelfth house falls in Scorpio and is ruled by Mars and Pluto. The price you pay for personal development is associated with a karmic fate, you go through such a serious transformation that you may feel that you are losing everything in life, that you are at the bottom and even below it. You are probably the only people who go through very deep crises that occur in a manner completely independent of you. Often they are associated with power, money (someone else’s), sexual experiences, risky life twists. The related situations touch you very deeply and strongly but at the same time they take you into "dangerous waters" and it is uncertain whether you will manage to save yourself. Nevertheless, the moments when things are of the "life and death" type, "all or nothing", when there are dangerous and risky developments, give you the most powerful impetus to personal development and transformation. To reduce the burden of the losses suffered, sometimes it would be better to voluntarily refuse to use what belongs to someone else, especially money and property, in order to be satisfied with a simple lifestyle.
Ascendant or Sun in Capricorn
The twelfth house falls in Sagittarius and is ruled by Jupiter. The price you pay for personal development is associated with trips abroad, relationships with foreigners and distant countries, beliefs, religions and education, with living without limits, both literally and symbolically. The situations that do not allow you to travel, explore the world, learn things, educate yourself, forcing you to observe some customs and traditions (mainly moral and religious) touch you most deeply and become the most powerful impetus to personal development and transformation. Losing your freedom to move around freely, complying with restraints is the worst loss for you. To reduce the burden of the losses suffered, it would be better to voluntarily impose restrictions on yourself, try to fit into the requirements of others, be they moral, religious, etc.
Ascendant or Sun in Aquarius
The twelfth house falls in Taurus and is ruled by Saturn. The price you pay for personal development is connected with your public and social status in terms of respect, prestige, authority, professional achievements and career. The situations in which you endure professional downturns, fail, do not have enough respect or prestige and are unable to climb the hierarchical ladder touch you most deeply. But these moments are a powerful stimulus to personal growth and transformation. Losing positions and prestige or a person who was an important authority figure for you is one of those losses that you suffer the worst. To reduce the burden of the losses suffered, sometimes it would be better to give up promotions or to spend time doing voluntary work that is not prestigious or participate in volunteer organizations.
