What Mercury in the 12th house means
A private, intuitive mind that thinks in images; good for research, writing in solitude and spiritual study.
Mercury stands for your mind, speech and learning. The 12th house is the house of solitude, sacrifice, secrets, hospitals, prayer and the inner life. Put together, Mercury spends its energy there.
The 12th is one of the hard houses of tradition (6th, 8th and 12th), so Mercury works through effort, crisis or retreat.
