Accordingly, if the 12th lord is dignified, it indicates that these expenses or sacrifices are made for good purposes which have positive effects on the marriage of the native in general.

To be specific, this positively formed combination reflects that the marriage becomes more fulfilled and rewarding if the native is willing to spend more of their valuable resources on their life partner.

They spend on their partners with pure intention to improve their lifestyles and general satisfaction which also returns to them in many great ways.

Material values are far from only expenses the natives can make to improve their marriage. In addition to that, they are willing to sacrifice their time for the sake of their relationship with their life partners. Whichever the expense is, if the 12th lord is dignified, it benefits the native and marriage.

On the contrary, if the 12th lord is undignified, it indicates losses, grief, and sorrow caused by the utterly sinful and deceptive behavior of the spouse of the native.

It also means that the native is prompted to spend due to the mistakes of their spouse. Moreover, their spouse may be involved in serious litigation and blamed by members of society.

Extremely Sensual Native & Spouse

Amongst many other combinations, this is one that provides the native with a highly sensual and desirous spouse. All of this also applies directly to the native because of the aspect upon the ascendant which signifies that spouse is the inner reflection of the native themself.

That is because the 12th house is linked to sensuality and bed-related pleasures while the 8th (disposition) house denotes physical coupling between partners.

What is more, the 7th house, where the 12th lord sits, belongs to the triangle of desire which simply increases the desire for passion and physical intimacy.

This extreme desire for passion also influences their behavior, mentality, and appearance because of the aspect of 12th lord in 7th house upon the 1st house.

Alternatively, what makes this combination rather difficult is the fact that even though the native is very sensual and has lots of desires for physical intimacy, they are often bereft from it because being detached (12th influence) from physical partners for a prolonged amount of time.

If the 12th lord is dignified, it ensures that both spouses and the natives remain moral while satisfying their desires.

On the contrary, if the 12th lord is undignified, it adds immoral bent to their sensuality which causes seeking satisfaction secretly through socially unacceptable ways.

In addition to that, as the 12th lord influences the mentality through its aspect upon the 1st house, it suggests that the mentality of the native is ruined due to overly sensual nature and excessive passionate desires.

The uncontrolled sensuality affects their way of thinking, behavior, and decisions negatively in general.

Transformation Through Spouse

This combination involves two houses of salvation, one of which, the 8th house signifies a deep transformation of the soul. Therefore, this combination enables deep transformation through the spouse.

In fact, as the 12th lord is in 7th house and directly aspects the 1st house of self, soul, and mentality, it reflects that spouse also goes through a transformation and influences the native for the same in the first place.

As this combination involves two malefic houses, it indicates that sudden or distressing events trigger the transformation. Even though these events cause deep inner suffering, they are crucial for inner growth and expansion of strength.

Moreover, the 12th house signifies foreign matters and lands the involvement of which in this combination indicates that the native meets their spouse in faraway places in difficult circumstances or while undergoing various struggles.

If this combination is well-formed or 12th lord is strong and dignified, it indicates that the spouse of the native appears as blessing suddenly out of the blue and offers divine support. That effect is especially dominant if the 12th lord happens to be an exalted Jupiter.

Another positive benefit of this combination is that there is a deep spiritual connection between the natives and their spouses. The native desires to be in solitude with their partner and escape daily routine to enjoy spiritual bliss and connection.

If the 12th lord is undignified, it indicates that the spouse is a great cause of distress and inner suffering of the native. With that being said, the spouse becomes secretive, immoral, and influences the life of the natives negatively. As a result of this, the native also develops a negative mentality and behavioral patterns.

Highly Fluctuating Marriage

The fact that this combination involves two difficult houses that brings difficult circumstances to the native makes the marriage challenging and highly fluctuating. As a result of this, there is a lack of marital bliss and enjoyment as per BPHS.

The naive also appears very detached or unemotional because of being drained by hardships which may affect marital bliss. However, if the combination is well-formed, it indicates that the native is blessed (by God) with a partner who is able to understand them despite struggles and emotional detachment in the relationship.

If the given combination is ill-formed, it indicates being betrayed by the spouse. The spouse is secretive and often hides something from the native.

Tempered Vitality

By default when not considering the strength of the 12th lord and other influences of the chart, this combination causes loss of vitality because of various distressing events and difficult matrimony. Sage Parashara also stated that this combination causes loss of strength.

That is because the 12th house is about loss, weaknesses, and dissolution, and its 8th disposition and aspect upon the 1st house influences the strength and vitality of the native.

These distressing events can either break or temper the native depending on the dignity of the 12th lord.

Accordingly, if the 12th lord is strong and dignified, it indicates that the difficult events actually strengthen the native also physically in addition to growing the soul.

That is to say, the sudden events or other calamities harden the native and prompt them to grow a thick skin leaving the native no other option just to be or become strong.

On the contrary, if the 12th lord is weak, it also reflects the weakness of the native. To be specific, a weak 12th lord indicates dissolved vitality due to various difficulties and distressing events. As a result of this, they become passive or unable to deal with them, drained, and broken.

Exceptional Secret Wisdom

As per BPHS, this combination puts the intelligence and learning capabilities of the native under stress. That is, this combination is likely to produce a person who is either not interested in learning or bereft of it for various reasons.

The reason for such an effect is the dissolving and draining effects of the 12th lord upon the 1st house of mentality. Along with the loss of vitality, it also causes weak mentality by default, if a strong 12th or 1st lord does not offer any support.

Namely, if the situation where the 12th lord is strong and dignified, it indicates that the native is blessed (by God) with exceptional intelligence and intuitive wisdom. That effect is especially amplified if the 12th lord is in its own sign or exalted.

The given effect is provided by the 8th disposition, which signifies occult wisdom of unseen matters or energies. Their mentality becomes very enthusiastic and they develop an interest in deep research.

With that being said, they also develop an interest in secret matters and various sciences that involve in-depth analysis or investigation.

Hence, a strong 12th house endows the native with a strong sixth sense or intuition. Besides this, it gives them the interest to discover unusual topics by diving deep into details.

As a result of doing deep research not heir topic of interest, they actually develop a very complex and intelligent brain over time.

Alternatively, if the 12th lord is undignified, it manifests more of the negative effects arising from this combination. Namely, the native becomes interested in secret or socially unacceptable activities.

As the 7th house also denotes society, a negative form of this combination causes a clash with people from own society.

Their mentality becomes wicked and deceptive. They also become involved in hidden or fraudulent activities, as the aspect upon the ascendant suggests.
