This thread is just meant to give you a taste of how I often go about delineating the 12th house, and "weaknesses" in a chart. It is certainly not complete or conclusive!
The inquisitive reader may have noticed that I allowed the nature of the rising sign and its ruler to add a layer of nuance, particularly that of contrast.
Taurus and Scorpio risings both have the ruler of the 12th also ruling the 7th, but one avoids conflict and expressing anger (Mars 12th, Venus 1st struggles), while the other aims to please then garners resentment (Venus 12th, Mars 1st).
Obviously, a one tweet delineation will not describe everyone, but these are meant to get you thinking about the ruler of a sign being in charge of how those topics manifest, and how the other house the planet rules can link topics to another.
And before someone strolls into my mentions saying "Neptunian things" are always involved in self sabotage... substance abuse and depression are always fucking bad for you, that doesn't mean Neptune or Pisces rules the 12th house. I swear to god just miss me with all that
Thank you @gemeauxlogy for inspiring me to do this thread because of this tweet, and for @lipandbone for inspiring me further with his question in response! https://twitter.com/justjogleason/status/1115383534070521857
