Thread for people with stelliums in the 6th, 8th or 12th houses

[leomoon]

I have a Leo stellium in the 12th: Pluto, Saturn, Moon, Mars. I never really thought of my life as harder or more unjust than others' lives. Life is hard and unjust. It is also filled with wonder and beneficence. In retrospect, there were some very difficult times as Saturn and the outer planets moved through Scorpio and squared the stellium. Sometimes, too, with Mars in Scorp aggravating matters. All less so with transits through the other fixed signs.
But the stellium is also anchored with a trine from Jupiter in Sag and a sextile from Merc in Gem. And as I have grown older and have come to understand the 12th house in relation to my 9th house placements, I have come to deeply value the 12th house stellium. I am grateful for it.
So I would say that it all depends upon the stellium's relation to the rest of the chart as to how you will experience it. And that your experience will always be changing over time, as are we, as is life.

I'm glad to hear you don't have a Sun Leo there, that would be the pits wouldn't it? or Aries Sun in 12th. They need to shine bright. \I do think we need to consider always the opposite house as the complements and the 12th IS a spiritual house to the 6th, they work in unison.
Many of our spiritual dreams originate in the 12th house. For you too? (with Moon I'd think so) Lots of solitude and contemplation here

I thank you for your comments and reflections, LeoMoon.
Yes, I think my Sun shines pretty brightly, joying in the 9th near the MC, and both ruling and aspecting the 12th house and planets within.
And through the cultivation of this relationship between Sun and the stellium, and with NN in the 9th receiving aspects from the 12th, and also some important transits and progressions, I have finally come to come to understand and to realize of some of those dreams...

I wonder if you might say a bit more about what you mean when you write: "12th IS a spiritual house to the 6th, they work in unison"? I am intrigued.

How have you experienced life so far (if you wish to share, please do..

My life is a beautiful combination of appreciation for Mother Nature, intense emotions masked by total Capricorn detachment, and a burning passion to feel recognized, but often misunderstood.
I think of myself as the most capricorn Scorpio ever!
My desire to dig deep into the minds of others is fuel. I need to know why people say and act the way they do, and if I can understand it in a way of logic, I tend to forgive and forget immediately. I constantly seek peace and often that means having the truth no matter how dark.
I really don’t like feeling my own feelings, it’s sometimes hard to regulate, especially when a lover doesn’t understand my intentions. But, I don’t wince in the darkest of places.
I often feel psychic or extremely intuitive based on a “feeling”. I’m often predicting things in my mind and will end up experiencing a similar occurrence in real life. Kinda drives me nuts!
I’m 29 (Jan 7) and just now feeling like my identity is being discovered. I work with middle schoolers too by the way! Teaching them sustainability and all things eco friendly!

Ilene: The word that escaped me was "Polarity" to explain the opposing houses and how they compliment each other= i.e. 6th & 12th
house for example:

Virgo-Pisces and 6th-12th House Polarity​

This polarity is the service axis, and it deals with the balance between day-to-day functions and routines, physical health, and the need for order (Virgo and the sixth house) and vision, spiritual health, disorder, and the infinite (Pisces and twelfth house). Virgo and the sixth house rule our tools and techniques that we use to deal with day-to-day life, while Pisces and the twelfth house rule the tools that we use to deal with our spirituality.
