Eros in the 12th House
With Eros in the twelfth house, the erotic life-force concentrates in the unconscious, fantasy, and the spiritual, so desire is dreamy, private, and bound up with longing, imagination, and the wish to merge with something larger. The gift is a transcendent, imaginative, soul-deep passion. The shadow is desire hidden, idealized, or escaped into fantasy rather than lived. The growth is bringing the longing into real, embodied intimacy. At your best your passion touches the sacred and the boundless.
Lean in — Bring your hidden longing into real, embodied intimacy.
Watch for — Keep desire locked in fantasy instead of living it.
