Re: 12th house stellium. I don't want to f****** serve people.
There is a great quote from some Hindu scriptures:
"When I don't know who I am, I serve you.
When I know who I am, I am you."
So Waterbaby, if she's still here, and Mad Architect, how could you have a problem with service? There are all types of service activities, ranging from low-paying work in the "servant sector" to volunteering through a local charity or service club, to work in public service (civil servants,) or military service. There is also simply the friendly hug when needed, a hand up, a kind word that makes someone's day. It doesn't have to be official.
If you feel angry at the prospect of being beneficial to others, is this your ego (sun) talking?
With the ego-erasing properties of the 12th house, how well is avoiding service to others going for you? How well is Me-ism going for you?
Each house gives us some options. We can personify its best qualities or its more negative ones. I should re-state that the 12th house also relates to people in monestaries or convents-- they may have taken vows that isolate them from society.
Rabbi Hillel wrote, "If I am not for myself, who will be for me? But if I am only for myself, who am I? If not now, when?"
Ethics of the Fathers, 1:14
