Understanding 12th house conjunctions to the Ascendant across different signs (not the same sign)

For those of us with early degree Ascendants, there is a possibility that there is a planet in the previous sign that can conjunct the Ascendant.

When we think of the 12th house, we think of things hidden from the 1st house of self expression and identity.

A conjunction like this feels contradictory in practice, because somehow some kind of shadow side of yourself (again different house AND sign, particularly the 12th) is now being thrown into the mix and is interacting with arguably the most prominent placement in someone’s chart.

I understand conjunctions as energy blended. Would we expect the native to express BOTH signs naturally as part of blended energies with the Ascendant, rather than just the sign the Ascendant is in? Since 12th house placements are often thought of shadow elements that can often trigger others, should we expect these natives to often be involved in more conflict because of a stronger 12th house representation? How does this 12th house planet show up so exposed?
