CONCERNING THE TWELFTH HOUSE AND THE PLANETS THEREIN.
The twelfth house has special signification concerning prisons, workhouses, hospitals, asylums, reformatories, charitable institutions, crime, criminals, spies and secret foes.
If the malefics are therein, and much afflicted, there will be an increase of crime, burglaries and murder. The amount of trouble depends upon the affliction, for if the benefics are there and unafflicted, they will bring benefits to hospitals and institutions, and a decrease of crime generally. The Lunation falling in the twelfth house, and afflicted, points to much crime in the country, trouble in connection with prisons, hospitals and workhouses; but if well aspected, it shows benefits to public institutions, and may produce changes, probably of a legislative nature, concerning their working or management.
The Sun in the twelfth, badly aspected, will cause trouble in workhouses and similar institutions, and disgrace to officials. If well aspected, it shows an improved state of affairs in the management of these institutions, and some honour or success to the chief officials.
The Moon in the twelfth house, and much afflicted, points to an increase of pauperism, much illness amongst the common people, and will produce scandals in connection with hospitals and charitable institutions. Crime against women and children will be frequent.
Mercury in the twelfth house, and well aspected, points to activity in public institutions, legislative changes, alterations in the Poor Law; but, if badly aspected, shows some scandals, probably libels, and a good deal of discussion in the public press respecting their management. It also denotes a good deal of thieving, forgery, and crime against children.
Venus in this house, if well aspected, shows many benefits to public institutions, increase of subscriptions, benefits through donations and legacies, and a more favourable outlook in regard to their financial position. If afflicted, it is likely to produce scandals, waste of public money, and also denotes crime against women and children.
Mars in the twelfth is a very evil position, denoting a great increase of crime, murders, incendiarism, violence, and may also produce fires in workhouses and public institutions, as well as unruly behaviour on the part of inmates, The greater affliction in this case, the worse will the effects be.
Jupiter in the twelfth house is a favourable position for workhouses and public institutions, and will bring them many benefits, increased subscriptions, gifts, donations and legacies, shows improvement in the conditions governing these institutions, and benefits of a social nature affecting their welfare. If afflicted, it points to heavy expenses, extravagance, and troubles to officials.
Saturn in the twelfth is a very unfortunate position, denoting much crime, public discussion on the treatment of inmates in public institutions, depression in the finances of hospitals, and also points to disgrace or loss of repute to officials.
Uranus in the twelfth house, and well aspected, brings reforms in the administration of public institutions; but, if afflicted, is likely to cause much crime, fires, explosions, incendiarism and insubordination in workhouses and similar institutions.
Neptune in the twelfth points to scandals in connection with the administration of the Poor Law, hospitals and institutions, and shows the introduction of socialistic methods in connection with the treatment of paupers. Many unpleasant occurrences of a fraudulent nature will occur under this position.
