Transit Sun in the Twelfth House #

When the transiting Sun moves through your twelfth house—the month before your birthday—you enter a period of completion, reflection, and preparation. This is the end of your solar year, inviting closure and spiritual renewal.

Timing #

Duration: Approximately one month
Occurrence: Once per year (eleven months after birthday—the month before your next birthday)

Core Meaning #

The twelfth house governs the unconscious, spirituality, endings, and what is hidden. When the Sun transits here, the energy is naturally internal, contemplative, and oriented toward completion.

Working With This Transit #

  3. Reflect: Review and integrate the past year
  4. Practice spiritually: Meditation, prayer, contemplation
  5. Release: Let go of what you’re carrying into the new year
  6. Prepare: Make ready for your Solar Return

This Month’s Purpose #

The twelfth house transit is preparation for the new year to come. Like the darkness before dawn, it’s meant to be a time of quiet renewal rather than outward activity. Honor the need for solitude and reflection.
