This is one of the most difficult placements that I have.
i have:
12 house Scorpio Mars
conjunct Scorpio Mercury
and a few degrees away, sits Scorpio Pluto on my ascendant
This is difficult for me because I also have a 3rd house Saturn.
Mars in the 12th house, in any sign, manifests as an overthinker. You are thought driven, calculated [even if not executed properly] you likely have a lot to say and are misunderstood frequently.
Having Mercury here for me only makes this worse, especially in Scorpio.
I have experienced over a decade of childhood abuse & neglect, making my mind a prison, unable to talk about the things that happened to me until I was 25.
My planets in the 12th house are not "repressed" I would argue the opposite in fact, they are the most influencial and potent placements in my entire chart. They rule my chart in both the literal and figurative sense.
Mars in the 12th house in scorpio has made me a detective. I am always trying to get to the bottom of things, frankly--things that don't concern me whatsoever.
I can never let a thought go not fully examined. No action I witness or human psychological behavior will not be analyzed by me. This could be related to the conjunction to Mercury, but Mars is a motivator, and being in the 12th house, encourages you to dig to the source of everything. Scorpio only enhances this energy.
Mars in lighter signs in the 12th house can exaggerate. For example, a Cancer 12th house Mars will be highly emotional, self critical, and the mesh of Anger [Mars] and Hidden Emotions [12th house] you could let your emottions run your life, constantly bursting at the seams to cry, or seclude yourself/hide yourself in order to avoid your feelings.
In Libra, you could be way too focused on other people and abandon your own wants and needs because Mars in Libra in 12th is highly focused on what others are thinking that they aren't saying.
In Aries, anger issues. Can't escape the anger, everything makes you mad. BUT the positive side of this is the sheer will power this placement has, the motivation to do anything or try anything once.
Lots of factors are present here so knowing how your Mars is aspected/sign/decan etc will help you zero in on how it effects you personally, since these are only general statements.
