Alright, let’s talk about this “12th house year” thing that supposedly hits you when you’re 35. Sounds kinda out there, right? Well, I decided to dive into it, see what the fuss is all about, and, I gotta say, it’s been a wild ride.
So, first off, I started digging around, trying to figure out what this whole “12th house year” even means. I came across some stuff about Vedic astrology. They say the 5th house is about your good deeds from your past life, and the 6th house is like your past life’s ascendant sign. The 11th house is supposed to give clues about your next life. Kind of heady stuff. There’s also this idea of the 9th house being the “House of Luck,” dealing with fortune, higher learning, and long trips. It’s like your life’s purpose and knowledge. And since the 9th house is about your father, signifying past, it is your father who is here before you was even born. Hence, 9th house is the significator of past life.
Then I hit 35.

And you know what? Some weird stuff started happening. Not like, aliens landing in my backyard weird, but more like… shifts. Changes. I started thinking about my life, my choices, what I really wanted. It felt like my priorities were getting all jumbled up. I was questioning everything.
- I started feeling restless at my job, even though it was a good job, secure, paid well.
- I got this urge to travel, see the world, experience new things. I’d always been a homebody, but suddenly, staying in one place felt suffocating.
- I started exploring new hobbies, things I’d never considered before. Like, I took up painting, and I’m not even artistic!
- My relationships started changing, too. Some got stronger, others faded away. It was like I was seeing people in a new light.
It wasn’t all smooth sailing, though. There were definitely some rough patches. Moments of doubt, confusion, even fear. It felt like I was on a roller coaster, with huge ups and downs.
I started reading more about astrology, horoscopes, all that jazz. I even looked into my own birth chart, just to see if anything resonated. And you know what? Some of it did. Like, my chart said I was supposed to go through a big transformation around this age. Spooky, right?
And then there’s this Jupiter return thing. Apparently, you have one at 24, and then another at 36. It’s like similar themes from when you were 24 come back around, but in a different way. I could see some parallels, for sure. It’s like the universe was giving me a second chance to figure some things out.
Now, I’m not saying astrology is the answer to everything. But this whole 12th house year experience has definitely made me think. It’s pushed me to grow, to change, to become more… me. It’s like I’ve shed an old skin and I’m stepping into a new chapter of my life.
I’m still figuring things out, of course. But I feel more alive, more connected to myself, more… authentic. And that’s a pretty amazing feeling.
So, if you’re hitting 35 soon, or if you’re going through some big changes in your life, don’t freak out. Embrace it. Explore it. See where it takes you. You might be surprised at what you discover about yourself.
