In an Indian horoscope the 12th is the house for foreign residence and permanent settlement abroad. It is for Import and export trade. It is the house for renunciation or liberation from bondage. It is the house of enlightenment. As per Vedic astrology it is also the house of loss, hospitalization, and jail – forced confinement. When a Bhava lord occupies the 12th that Bhava suffers loss. For example when 5th lord occupies 12th the person is deprived of higher education. When the 2nd lord occupies the 12th in a horoscope all earnings are spent and no savings are left.4, 8, and 12 are a triad which signify accidents. It is in the major period of one, the sub period of the 2nd and sub- sub period of 3rd a person is involved in accident or suffers injuries. KP advises that one should take the significator of 4th/8th/12th for the accident and not the Bhava lords.
