Neptune in the 12th indicates the possibility of confusion at the unconscious level.

In some cases, this confusion leads to free-floating anxiety. During the year, inconsistencies exist between what you experience intuitively and what you are told by others.

Glaring contradictions make it difficult to know what to believe. There is a question here of who is right. Learn to trust your own instincts and Higher Self, while suspending judgment for the time being.

There are subtle forces at work, and the object of this placement is to become more sensitized to less apparent energies. You are aided in this endeavor by discrepancies between what you are told and what you sense.

These inconsistencies force you to see two separate, yet distinct pieces of information. If there were no contradiction, you would miss the more subtle message. Learn to be sensitive to what is left unsaid, yet do not confront others with your newfound truth. Discretion is needed. Also, do not become a detective sneaking around searching for confirmation. All will be made known to you.

Time will eventually prove the information right or wrong. In the meantime, you can allow the two separate pieces of information to exist in your head for most of the year. And Here are more example case study on how to intererpret your Solar Return Year.

The inner self is not always right, though the Higher Self is; however, the Higher Self would never be preoccupied with the discovery of mundane proof. This is a sure sign that you are dealing with fear rather than an intuitive insight. Anxiety is born of fear, while insight leads to enlightenment.

Those who are obsessed with mundane truth must realize that neurosis is also associated with Neptune in the 12th house of Solar return.

Those who refuse to accept the truth they see, and consistently push for more proof, suffer great inner tension from suppressed information. Eventually, severe anxiety and even neurosis can ensue. True insight is used to develop understanding and compassion for others and is never used as an invasion of privacy. For this reason, the truth of the matter is not essential, only compassion and understanding are. These you can foster without all the facts.

Spiritual growth is very important at this time if you are to handle new information wisely. You need to develop a sense of trust in the Higher Self and God. It may be that you must subsist on trust for most of the year without any concrete proof or understanding until the year’s end. The more you believe in yourself and the Higher forces, the easier this time of uncertainty will be. The most recent spiritual insight should be sufficient for the time being. Pushing immediately for further enlightenment leads to confusion and disillusionment.

Wait until the time is right.

While you are on the spiritual path, learn the value of not revealing everything you know or have experienced. Others may not be ready for inner truth and will be threatened by what you say. Unnecessary confrontations or challenges may ensue. It is not enough to be materially successful; fulfillment is also important. Life situations tend to focus on inner satisfaction rather than immediate material attainment. Trusting in Divine guidance leads you to fulfilling circumstances. If you have a strong spiritual sense of what you want to do, trust the Universe to provide you with the means to accomplish the task. An act of service may be required to get there.
