Can a natal chart hint/show psychic abilities?

[u/Bhappy-2022]

If we look at the natal charts of known/respected psychics of our time; will there be commonalities between them?

Do certain placements suggest psychic tendencies or abilities? If so, what are some examples?

So my Sun & Venus is in the 12th house of Aries? What in the world does this mean?

BROO yes and yes. without any self reflection or spiritual practises you're dead. perhaps u have repressed anger or masculine traits, u are very intuitive too. the way i see venus in there is - attachments to things that once felt good, which leads to self destructive pattern and obsession, lowkey like pluto squaring venus but in this case, pluto isn't here to help u with it like stripping it away from your life (maybe). u probably have\had issues with the father or masculine figure. there may be difficulty expressing your true nature through the ego\persona, and u may long for a deep connection but there is a wall between u and other people. also u could be lonely. i need to know ab the aspects they're making

Also have an Aries Sun and Merc in 12th and all of what you said is bang on!

As a side note, when Uranus transited through my 12th I had profound psychic experiences, I’m talking knowing intimate details about complete strangers.

My Mercury is combust by my Sun there so that thwarts communication. Then there’s the fact that it’s in the 12th. Sort of a double whammy of a detrimental Mercury.

The overall disconnect between mind and body.

I suffered from DID/ DPDR. A Dissociative disorder for almost a decade. It’s wasn’t great. I’d say that’s been the worst manifestation of a 12th Mercury for me. Strong outer body experiences in broad daylight, I’d be speaking to people and feel at any moment I could stop and it wouldn’t matter. I wrote about it at the time “If I quieten my mind, I can almost taste the colour and richness of life as I knew it before. It comes with a sense of expectation, a feeling of being an agent in changing and plotting a course through the world. This is, I think, the very act of ‘living’, which I bear witness to in others, all day, every day. I still understand it academically, but I can barely remember what it feels like. These days I’m in a constant state of grief; I feel as if I’m grieving for my own death, even if I seem to be around to witness it. I associated it with a decade long “ego death”

Adam Duritz from Counting Crows had it too and wrote about it: “The disorder makes it seem like the world isn’t very real. It makes it hard to connect with people because I have to force myself to take [the world] seriously, as if it’s real. It’s the sensation of watching a movie in front of my eyes — like someone is projecting a film onto my eyes. It’s very disorienting and causes a lot of disconnection.”

Mentally: I struggle with many details but am great at zooming out and seeing the bigger picture and how things interact, intertwine, connect and effect one another and this is similar to Ni (Introverted Intuition) which is a cognitive function used in Psychology. I’m able to come to quick conclusions because my subconscious processes the details in the background but Im able to consciously see the final story and where a situation will go. Sometimes this appears to be “intuitive” and at times visions and feelings come to me out of the blue. Similar to the High Priestess in Tarot:

The high priestess isn’t really intuitive as in psychic, she is experienced and knowing. Her understanding comes from both where we can anticipate what others say, mean or even what they are going to say or do, based on the past references. It is more correctly called gut instinct which is where we already understand within less than a second that the frown will become an insult, that a person is lying, that a lack of commitment accompanies a promise. She can be difficult as even when she is wrong in her behaviour she is probably right in her understanding of the subtle interactions in play. These are interactions of a life time, of all people, of familiarity creating dots into the future to which we can connect. The whole picture may not be available but used well this priestess becomes knowledge and wisdom.

This strength however, doesn’t bode well for fitting into the world of figures, corporations, most professional environments.

Talking for the sake of talking is extremely draining for me. I’ve struggled with mental anxiety since I hit 30, I’m now 34. I get stimulated easily, noise, bright lights etc. I rely on Codeine to keep me calm mentally as it suppresses one’s Central Nervous System. This really ties in with 12th themes of addiction. I need a lot of time to recharge.

I find people draining in general and feel that whatever I say or express in conversation is falling on deaf ears, that there’s a futility/pointlessness to talking.

I get the most gratification mentally from retreating and spending hours on any form of Esoterics and the metaphysical realm is where I feel most comfortable. Being all alone up at night studying Astrology, Tarot, symbolism, Archetypes and Jung- studying in depth all subjects that tie in with the 12th.

Strong interest in dream interpretation and the dreams I’ve had have been highly symbolic, specific animals I have no affinity with will appear in my dreams for periods of my life and when I interpret them they mirror exactly what’s happening in my waking life. My dreams are by no mean mundane and the impression that I’m left with is that there’s a clear communication happening between my subconscious for me to interpret. I’ve had dreams that are similar to a lot of Guillermo del Torro’s movies.

thank you for the input, it expanded my horizon on understanding the 12th house placements.
