12th House in Cancer
A. N. Ryzhov. House Cusps in the Signs
Many court cases, sea voyages in youth. All sailors live in voluntary asceticism. A floating monastery.

A widow waits for her husband killed in war. This person will live in deep emotional imprisonment, which, if Cancer is not strongly afflicted, may not be noticed at all. He will acutely feel his loneliness during moments of intimate emotional connection, when his heart, instead of opening up, will constrict beneath an icy crust. This is a complex condition of the 12th house, which, in its harmonious variant, provides (limited) emotional empathy toward the suffering, but if Cancer is not entirely harmonious and the house is unprocessed, the person will be very harsh, and the mere thought of compassion and forgiveness will surprise him: “How can one be so careless and sacrifice oneself? He’ll get down on his knees and hang on your whiskers!” At a low level, this person will always try to arrange things so that in situations related to the 12th house, others make sacrifices for him, and then his own sacrifices will be forced and emotionally very difficult, but sincere remorse and repentance can bring deep psychological changes and a leap in evolutionary development. However, this is not easy, as the person is extremely prone to secrets, intrigues, and self-deception, especially with a strong Cancer, and therefore uncovering and bringing to light the hidden lower programs of the subconscious—such as secret (even from oneself) inclinations and vices—will be very difficult: working through Saturn and Neptune helps (responsibility). The sacrifices this person makes must result from prolonged practical labor (6th house in Capricorn) and must hold great emotional and inner significance for the person; only then can his deeply hidden potentials emerge and the essential discoveries he makes in solitude come to light, transforming not only himself but also the subtle, and subsequently the material, world.
Houses in the Zodiac Signs. Alexander Kostovich
Active attitude toward uncovering secrets, hidden talents and abilities, sometimes secret power. Much that is mysterious in life, hidden matters, painful mistrust and suspicion. Intuitive connection with nature, animals, plants. Aptitude for meditation, receptivity to cosmic rhythms. In the worst case—psychic vulnerability, depression, psychiatric disorders not excluded.
Pavel Globa. Houses in the Zodiac Signs
CANCER—life in solitude is happier than with people. Love of spending time alone. Tendency toward intrigues, secret illegal activities. In the worst case—seclusion within the family circle, troubles with the mother. The person is a product of the lower astral: many fears, phobias, obsessive ideas, painful mistrust. Sacrifices are forced and heavy.
