A Book about the 12th House that will Help You Love Yourself

Tracy Marks, who has been an astrologer and licensed therapist for decades, has written several significant and helpful astrological books with a solid psychological foundation, such as her immensely useful book on T-Squares.

In preparing this series on the 12^th house, I was, frankly, awed to encounter her remarkably insightful and profoundly healing book on the 12^th house: Tracy Marks, Your Secret Self: Illuminating the Mysteries of the Twelfth House, Ibis Press, Lake Worth, FL, 2010.

There’s a limit to how much I can quote without permission from the publisher, but here’s a taste of the jewels in her brilliant analysis of the 12^th house Sun:

“Your 12^th house Sun suggests that you are sensitive person, highly vulnerable to the impact of your environment. Hesitant to share your inner experiences, you maintain a private sanctuary within yourself, to which you retreat from the demands of the outer world. As King or Queen of your inner castle, you reign supreme.

“…You need time alone for reflection, for attuning yourself to your thoughts, feelings, and fantasies, and for freeing yourself from the influences of others, which you to easily absorb. Because you feel connected to larger spiritual forces, you may be practiced in a meditative discipline that helps you to gain the clarity you seek. Your inner resources are vast. By refueling yourself through turning inward, you revitalize yourself and open yourself to warm, radiant feelings which you may not otherwise experience.” p.55.

The 6-page section on the Sun continues to amaze in the way it explains the many mysteries and contradictions in this 12^th house placement. The book contains equally illuminative sections on all the 12^th house planets and signs.

This book helps you experience the beauty and the rightness of your 12^th house placements without neglecting to explore how the more difficult expressions are connected with them.

I would highly recommend this book to anyone with significant placements in the 12^th, particularly those I’ve been hearing from with 12^th house stelliums.
