Can anyone help me with what this means? I think I have an idea but I'm not too sure. Thanks.

Sun: Libra

Moon: Gemini

Rising: Scorpio

Mercury: Scorpio

Venus: Scorpio

Answer 1

Having a number of planets found in the 12th House, esp. Pluto included, is a karmic influence, since the 12th House bascially resp the subconscious and darker forces, hidden parts of our psyches and lives. If these planets are found very close to the Ascendant, within 5 degrees or so, their influence will be much stronger on the personality as they can be interpreted as 1st House planets in this case. Any planet(s) found very close to the Ascendant indicate some deep psychological issue that has to be excavated and brought to light under the 1st House (the house of personality).

Nevertheless, Mercury, Venus, Pluto found in the 12th House indicate that your thought processes/communication styles (mercury), your way of socializing and attracting love into your life/the aesthetic part of your character (Venus) and propensity of introducing radical transformational changes into your life (pluto) will all take on intense, extreme,  emotional traits and directed towards your subconscious instead (12th House issues). For the most part, you're more of an introvert and tend to be more secretive, quiet, passive and emotionally intense, or at least that's how you appear to be, with Pluto as your chart ruler.

Answer 2

Not so sure, but seeing as your Ascendant is actually your 1st house, it can't be in your 12th.
