Sun in the 12th house
The Sun in the 12th house: a light that shines best behind the scenes, in solitude, inner work or quiet service.
Meaning
Out of sight is where the light of the day works in the 12th. This cadent house, the joy of Saturn, was once named for confinement and self-undoing. Modern astrology reads it as retreat, rest and the inner life, where a self grows strong in quiet or in serving something larger.
In the 12th house, the Sun centres your sense of self and your need to be recognised on solitude, rest and life behind the scenes.
