On curses

Asteria 2 contains an article of mine on the twelfth house. In that article I also discuss curses in more detail since they're an area covered by this house, but the nature and the spirit of the house are also detailed. In short, I mentioned the twelfth house facilitates a person to be cursed and at the same time it is part of an individual's personal shielding against curses whenever the native is in need of spiritual protection. 

The eleventh house is considered that of the Higher Self and so it would usually be thought as the house that protects from curses, but in that article I already said it should be studied in parallel with the twelfth just as I said of the twelfth in the book. As a brief recap, the Higher Self cannot be represented by the chart for it transcends it, let alone by a sole astrological house. Therefore, the eleventh house merely covers beneficial influences a person receives from their Higher Self while the twelfth covers the malefic ones - I explained in the article while those are necessary and other hints can be found it at least one other article I wrote in this book. Hence the need for both of them to be studied in parallel. 

But what about curses? For a person to suffer from the effects of a magical curse both their eleventh and twelfth houses must allow for that curse to affect its target. They can do that to more or less degree depending on circumstances that are too vast to discuss without endless digressions. I laid out general considerations for this in the article. It can go as far as in a case I've been observing for some time now and I will detail further.

The person in question has been cursed mercilessly over time to the point they came close to passing away several times. But they are still alive and kicking although not as before they started experiencing the effects of the curses. Their looks are that of a corpse, their skin being of an earthy tone whereas before it was its natural tone. But they are still alive and kicking. They have very little energy and can only do certain chores at a slow pace and far less often than before. But they are still alive and kicking. There would be more to tell although this suffices to paint a compelling picture of the horrible state they're in.  

A few days ago I started reflecting on this particular case and, despite not being skilled in divination, I decided to rub the dice asking wtf is up with this person that they're still alive. I couldn't make out much from the court, but the chart itself provided more than enough clues. The person showed up as Fortuna Major, the most beneficial geomantic figure. Additionally, Fortuna Major was located in the person's eleventh and twelfth houses. The rest of the chart was crap with mostly horrible figures everywhere, with Cauda Draconis in both their sixth (health issues) and eight (death) houses, alongside Rubeus and Tristitia and only one or two neutral figures. 

So I asked the straightforward question if the person is being kept alive by solely because of their Higher Self (since their physicality is constantly going down hill). The court was highly evident even for someone like me: Laetitia (Left Witness) + Puella (Right Witness) = Fortuna Major (Judge). So a definite Yes. Again, the chart had mostly horrible figures except for their eleventh house which was Laetitia (good figure) and which connected to their first house through a Fortuna Major translation that showed up in their second house. Rubeus showed up in their twelfth and eighth signifying the curses they're being subjected to, curses that are only prevented from going all the way because of the person's Higher Self. 

You might say only the eleventh house showed up as connecting to the first (the target), the first reading showed both the eleventh and twelfth as being identical to the target, meaning both of them are actively involved in keeping the person alive. Moreover, Rubeus showing up in the person's twelfth in the second reading is good for the target because while it is a highly volatile and chaotic force that can fuck them up big time, it is not long lasting. Had it been Tristitia there, I'm quite sure the effects of the curses would've been permitted to act for much longer on the target. However, Laetitia showed up in the eleventh house in the second reading which to me suggest this spiritual help won't last that much either so we shall see.

At any rate, it would be wise to study your twelfth house in more detail in regards of both placements and transits. Not only will that allow you to uncover more of your own mechanisms that are working against you, but it should point towards how susceptible you are to curses. Again, a study of the eleventh house is also required for this latter case. 

Hate on, dum-dums!
