These types of enemies we can clearly see and look out for. But, what about those hidden enemies? You know the ones that you don’t even know are your enemies. The ones that seem like they are all for you but in reality, they are rooting for your downfall. These types of enemies are cloaked and can be found in the twelfth house. Continue to read on to find out more about hidden enemies and how you can identify them using astrology.
The 12th House & Hidden Enemies
Locating hidden enemies in astrology is found by looking at the 12th house in astrology. The 12th house is associated with Pisces and ruled by the planet Neptune. Neptune energy cloaks or hides. It makes it difficult to really know what you’re dealing with. It is one of the reasons why intuition is so important with Neptune and Pisces energy because intuition allows people with these energies to navigate their experiences wisely. Intuition is especially beneficial when there are discrepancies due to a lack of clarity due to our misgivings or because someone is being deceitful.

Again using the example from above, just because a person has Aries rising doesn’t mean that their hidden enemies are Pisces. For Aries Rising, their hidden enemies possess the negative traits of Pisces. Thus, anyone, of any sign could potentially be an enemy that possesses the negative traits of Pisces. Perhaps the hidden enemy has highlighted Neptune in their chart but is not a Pisces sun, moon, and/or rising.
What Are Your Hidden Enemies Like
The following is an overview of hidden enemies according to astrology. It is imperative to know one’s rising sign in order to be able to identify hidden enemies in a natal chart.

Special Considerations
So, what do your hidden enemies look like based on your 12th house ruler? The 12th house is hard to understand…similar to a hidden enemy. Hidden enemies are the people who you don’t know are working against you. These are the individuals who quietly spread rumors. These are the individuals who secretly take credit for your work. These are the individuals who work behind the scenes to keep you from getting the job that you want. These are the individuals who may even perform spiritual attacks against you. While there’s not much you can really do about people hating from the shadows, at least with this information you can understand how someone may work against you in a secret manner. The best thing that we all can do is just accept that sometimes they’re going to be people who don’t like us and avoid the trap of becoming paranoid….which, by the way, is a negative expression of the 12th house energy.
