Not to get all religious on you guys, but I had a quick revelation that I wanted to mention because I believe it helps people understand a particular astrological house better.
This is going to be a very short post, as I’m currently writing about the moon, but I had this random thought as I was talking in my astrology discord. This is purely a supplemental, informal post of mine.
Multiple times in the Bible, it is sourced that Jesus would go up to the mountain and pray. Sometimes he would take disciples with him, but the majority of the time he was alone. It was just him and his father, God, on that mountain for days at a time. The Devil even attempted to tempt Jesus on the top of a mountain.
Mountains in general, are very symbolic in the bible, as multiple figures outside of Jesus configured with God on mountains in solitude. Think about how hard it is to even climb a mountain in general, the journey up is not an easy once, as it’s very rigorous and you have to be careful. When you get to the top, you’re close to the heavens, and are able to view below you in a mystical way, although depending on how high you are, it can still be dangerous being on top of a mountain. Do not think the descent is an easy feat either, you still have to be careful that you don’t trip or go down the mountain too quickly.
The point of all of this, is that the journey of the mountain is not a simple one in the slightest. Jesus would do this multiple times throughout his life and journey to his eventual death. On top of the mountain, where he was closest to his father, he was going through very human emotions that the people can sometimes leave out about Jesus.
On top of the mountain, Jesus experienced frustrations, anger, sadness, temptation, hunger, thirst, longing, wanting and most important: solitude.
The 12H and Jesus on that mountain are very similar in meaning. As the 12H is the place where we do meet solitude and endings. Where we consult ourselves, or if you believe in God, him. Those moments where we are experiencing the nature of anger, sadness, and hurt is where a lot of people turn to themselves or God. Where we can only trust to consult ourselves, to breathe the still air without interference. Where we may hate that we are in the position of solitude, but separation is needed in order to gain clarity.
Being alone with yourself isn’t necessarily sunshine and rainbows. We are human, creatures of habit, but mostly social. We want connection. We want relationships. We yearn for that.
Those moments where we have to get closer to God (ourselves) are the moments we fear because it doesn’t provide us the social needs we want. But it causes us to investigate deeper into our mental state, and wonder if we can afford the chance to get out of it.

This helped me understand the 12H a lot better. It’s one of those houses that are kind of ambiguous. The symbolism of the mountain makes so much sense!! 🤎
