I have this position.
OUCH best describes it. I do feel frustrated most of the time. It's like I want to take such and such action but I'm keenly aware of how it'd affect everyone and for one reason or another, I mostly deny myself blanky-blank action. Not just because of other people but because sometimes I think, "Why bother." LOL It might just be my stubborn Leo Mars that makes it seem like, "Oh because it went so well the first time, we're going to try that again? Spare us RiotEyes, you see how much it succeeded last time."
We need patience and understanding, a nurturing atmosphere, encouragment... I heard the 12th House has to do with self sacrifice and it does kinda feel that way. Maybe 12th house Mars needs to learn to be a little bit more selfish (that seems to work better for me, when I say F it I'm just going to do this everything is better than when I pass up an opportunity because of someone/something else.)
All in all though, it's a very frustrated energy.
I'm not sure exactly what sphere you'd like to address though. Feel free to ask me though.
Okay cool! YES, I know what you mean. I think you described it perfectly when you said it's a very "frustrated" position! It's like Mars is constantly wanting to get out and do it's own thing, pave the road, but the 12th house is constantly forcing it to go with the flow. It's almost opposing energies.
Yes, someone else once described people who have this position NEED OTHER people that naturally have their "antennas" out. Because Mars in the 12th doesn't know or isn't comfortable asking for what it wants. It sees all sides to a situation, etc. So interesting to me…
What sphere.. hmm, I guess socially? Like who do Mars in 12th people like best, what people like them best, etc.
