Venus in House 12
Venus represents what you love, what gives you pleasure and the things you value. House 12 is the house of what stays hidden: retreat, what goes on behind the scenes, secret fears and what holds you back within. It's a difficult place, but also one of silence and of the inner life.
The twelfth house — of hidden enemies, confinement, grave illness, and sorrows — is cadent and averse, and even Venus sees its good here veiled. It inclines toward secret loves and hidden pleasures, toward affections lived away from sight, and toward a consolation found in intimacy or in seclusion; it may, however, bring enmities or griefs on account of women or illicit passions, and sorrows of love kept in silence. Well disposed, it gives a tenderness that consoles in adversity, discreet protection, and peace in retreat; afflicted, it brings secret scandals, harmful liaisons, dissembling female enemies, or sorrows of love that gnaw within.
