Who is the Twelfth House Astrologer?

Hello there! My name is Lauren, and I've studied astrology for over 10 years with a focus on psychological astrology, a branch of astrology that interprets charts through the lens of depth psychology, humanistic psychology, and transpersonal psychology. Instead of telling you who you are and the kind of life you will live, psychological astrology seeks to explain the whys and hows of the person you are becoming. The fatalism of earlier traditions is set aside for a growth-oriented model that identifies the psychological challenges you were born with and suggests a range of possible reactions you may have as you grow and adapt over the course of your life. It's my goal to use astrology as a tool to help my clients gain awareness and a sense of agency in the modern world.

Ever since I discovered two planets in my twelfth house over ten years ago, I've been completely obsessed with the strange magic of this neglected corner of the natal chart. In spite of its bad reputation, I've found the twelfth house to be a hidden entrance to an immensely beautiful part of the human psyche. It's my passion to help people with twelfth house placements find the magic in what can otherwise be a confusing, difficult, and overwhelming placement.

Although I specialize in charts with a twelfth house focus, my readings are not limited to specific placements or clientele. Helping my clients use astrology to improve their lives and relationships is at the heart of my business. I like to think of the natal chart as a lens: it provides a unique perspective that can help you see yourself in a new way. When I draw up a chart, one of the first things I look for are areas of conflict between elements and planets with contradictory meanings. Often the key to growth is understanding these conflicts and noticing when we act them out with other people instead of claiming them as our own. If the natal chart is a reflection of ourselves, then every conflict is within our power to resolve.
