Just saw the new DiCaprio movie yesterday - Inception. I went in expecting to see a science fiction movie - which of course it was to a certain degree, but what surprised me even more is that it was a 12th house movie more than anything else.
The whole plot revolves around an exploration of the subconscious. The "other" plane on which events occur. For a person with a strong 12th house - with a yogi Mars sitting in it, I felt an instant connection to the movie. The two actions being "extraction" and "inception" - either invading the subconscious to get vital information that a person would not consciously reveal or more interestingly, use the process to plant the seed of an idea in another persons mind.
Not that it needs to be done in a dream state per say. There are good influencers/seducers out there who can create the same effect - eyes wide open. These folks have either a very strong 12th house or a very strong 12th lord in kendra from lagna or chandra. It is also true that a person with a moon in the 12th sign from yours can understand your subconscious motivations best. It is then fairly simple for them to manipulate you. Heaven forbid if that person has a Chandra in a naturally manipulative nakshatra like Aslesha. Take note all you Simha rashi folks.
The 4th, 8th and 12th houses are both houses of moksha and gateways for more visceral experiences. The 12th especially being the portal for interaction with spirits and the "karana sharira". It should be no wonder then that the vyayesh causes endings during his dasha/antardasha periods. Endings are not necessarily death. Merely a disconnection of the ego with certain aspects of the identity. The matter of death is left to the 2nd and 7th lords.
Coming back to the other two houses that complete the moksha trine - the 4th and 8th houses. These houses and their lords control the native's subconscious reactions to life events. The 4th house and it's lord contributing to happiness, whereas the 8th house and its lord create the trauma profile of randhrasthana - the when, where and how of sudden transformations. So in this way these houses/lords generate the underlying happiness or fears that are dealt with in the subconscious.

Shani - Guru Opposition
Even as I start writing this post, I must admit to having misgivings about calling this an "Opposition" between Shani and Guru. Surely these two giants and the neutrality of their relationship merits being viewed from a different perspective. However, some of the results bear the markings more along the lines of a stand-off.
Lets look at the players for a minute. Guru expands, it creates opportunities. And then it facilitates good judgement to choose the right opportunity. Shani restricts, it focuses and it favors risk averse paths and outcomes. Guru might create several opportunities in a house it aspects whereas Shani will generally weed out the theoretical and present you with more limited, practical options. Shani doubt will cloud optimistic Guru judgement and the more ambitious plans will be discarded.
Guru is in his own house currently in Meena while Shani is in his (Guru's) enemy's house of Kanya. It is also worthwhile to note that from the end of May 2010 to about 4/5th June 2010, Shani was stationary and blasting his total detail oriented drishti on the "I-couldnt-be-bothered-less-with-details" Meena Guru. I have learned of several Guru dominant folks who were severely vexed in terms of their jobs, their luck and judgement during this time. In my opinion, the fact that Guru was in Uttara Bhadrapad nakshatra - owned by shani, and receiving Shani drishti might have tilted the balance slightly in favor of Shani.
More famously since Guru represents judgement, the refreeing in the FIFA world cup has been severely afflicted. There are poor decisions in any tournament but this years cup has had more than its fair share. The FIFA traditionalists have so far pooh poohed at the idea of integrating technology into football refreeing. However, with the Shani-Guru opposition causing doubtful judgements, Guru will be forced to accept the encroachement of his enemy Budha (technology) in his rarefied domain of judgement.
Another interesting example of Guru under attack was the instance of the in-fighting between the French team and their coach. Meena Guru aspected by Kanya Shani - classic case of employees/wards in Budha's juvenile domain withholding approval from Guru.
As far as Guru represents the banking system and financial markets, the hard Shani drishti has caused a reality check in that domain as well. Markets are down from their highs and the recovery seems to be in douubt at this time. Of course that is also likely in part due to the combustion of Mercury and its transit over ketu.
And since Guru is also the karaka for speech, how can we fail to mention the lack of judgement displayed by General McChrystal in his loose comments in front of the rolling stone journalist. Another sad outcome of the opposition. In this case the mangal drishti to Guru may also have had a role to play. I am sure with the passage of time other decisions taken in this period with adverse outcomes may come to light.
However, dear reader, even as Shani is looking at Guru, the opposite is also happening. So its a good time as any to point out that the glass is half full. And as we speak, Guru is slowing down as Shani picks up speed. So some of the more positive results from the opposition can be expected. At the end of July, Guru will turn vakri and will become stronger. Watch this space as we further analyze the impact of the transit.
