The Ninth house is ruled by the zodiac sign of Sagittarius and by the planet Jupiter. It is the third of the four cadent houses.
This astrology house deals with various things associated with the "higher mind" , together with travel .
The Ninth House is a Fire House. It is the last and most mature of the Fire Houses. Here the inspirational energy of the First House still exists but in a refined manner. Conclusions are now being drawn about what all this inspiration and meaning points too.
In our analogy our child, now an adult, has been through ups and downs in his life but now he asks what does it all mean. Is there a common strand that ties it all together or is there something that he has found that gives him meaning and purpose and inspires him with his life.
The Ninth house allows for us to broaden our philosophical horizons and to realise and come to terms with our highest potentials. The influence of Sagittarius sees a strong interest in travel, other cultures and learning. The Ninth house is where we search for truth through experiences that form our philosophy of life and extend our spiritual thoughts to a place they have never been before.
The Ninth house governs education, religion, spiritual visions and the higher courts. Planets in the Ninth house indicate an unwillingness to accept the conventional barriers and restrictions we are faced with. It is through the Ninth house that we are able to grasp and understand larger concepts, and use these concepts to overcome bigger issues within our life.
The Ninth House is the place where we search for a global meaning to our lives. It where we expand our personal limited ideas into a global vision. It is the place where we find our own God. For some people this may be finding oneness and beauty and challenge and adventure by climbing a beautiful mountain.
For others it may be to visit foreign cultures and to see their way of living. For others it may be a formal religion which explains all aspects of creation. Whatever, this is a place where we expand our limited vision into a global one.
The opposite house the Third was about accumulating knowledge in our local environment, however here in the Ninth House this knowledge comes together into a grander vision of the World. There is something intensely positive and idealistic about this house because it is the area of Meaning and Purpose. It is life affirming and points to some higher order at work, even if this higher order is just to see a beautiful sunset and wonder about the harmony that lies behind it all.
Understanding and accepting that our actions can have far reaching implications for the whole of humanity is an element of this house. Higher education allows us to enhance the world as a whole
This is the house that encourages us to think big and bold, and to consider the future in the broadest terms. There always seems to be a certain amount of preparation required before one can take full advantage of all that the ninth house has to offer.
Traditionally the ninth house is known as the house of long distance travel. Travel of distances greater than 500 miles would be found in this house.
International communication, interactions and relationships with foreigners, distant relatives and in-laws, and higher education are the key areas covered by this important house.
Voyages, foreigners, foreign countries, journeys into the unknown both physical and mental, church, religion, theology, philosophy, beliefs, divination, languages, higher learning, college education, literature, books, publishing, media, law, lawyers, truth, justice, prophecy, expansion and broadening of one's horizons in all ways are covered by the 9th house.
This house also deals with the knowledge gained through long-distance travel, whereby a larger portion of human culture can be experienced by an individual. Therefore this house governs travel of the body as well as the mind, together with foreigners and foreign affairs in general.
It also rules your attitudes and viewpoints on all topics, and your efforts to understand complex issues, including morals and ethics.
The Ninth House represents our desire for union with something greater. It is a house of belief systems, religion and philosophy and challenges us to expand our horizons. This is a house that encourages us to probe deeper in our search for answers to life's mysteries, to extend our minds rather than accepting things at face value. Here we are encouraged to explore beyond our accepted understanding, as we try to discover the meaning of life.
This house drives discussions on publishing, legal and academic matters. It emphasizes the higher mind and mental exploration. It deals with all codified collectivistic thought structures, usually embodied in philosophy, religion and religious institutions, legal systems and laws. And institutions of higher learning - schools, colleges, universities.
This house relates also to the teaching and publishing professions, though which spiritual and philosophic precepts are passed onto succeeding generations.
This house will describe what kind of education we have had, and our attitude in general towards learning and gathering knowledge. It also sheds light on personal beliefs and opinions relating to religious, spiritual or philosophical matters.
This house deals with the collective mind, as opposed to the individual mind, so is therefore associated with universal consciousness and social conscience.
They are very important, in the same sense that the timing on launching a business, starting a project, buying or selling something is important. It is very important to find the best time to do certain things, and the astrology of the launching of things is an art in itself.
That said, it is impossible to counteract "real world" conditions. For instance, you can plant potatoes on the best day of the month astrologically, but will probably not get many potatoes if you've planted in November rather than April.
By the same token, you may get a great deal on a house, but if the house has plumbing problems, you'll still have to deal with them. And yes, plumbing (or electrical, or foundation) problems can be seen in the chart of when you first look at a house, as well as when you close escrow.
Most people think that a compatibility chart tells all there is to know about whether two people are suited to each other. While extremely important and revealing of points of harmony and conflict, other important charts include the time when two people first meet, as well as the composite chart.
The composite chart is derived from the midpoints of the similar planets between two charts, i.e., if one is an Aquarius and the other is a Gemini, as a rule the composite Sun will be in Aries. And if one Moon is in Sagittarius and the other Moon is in Aquarius, the composite Moon is likely in Capricorn, the sign in between Sag and Aquarius.
Then there's the marriage chart. This is actually an Inceptional chart, in that a marriage is the inception of the contract of partnership. Thus it shows the past, present, and future of the individuals, as well as the composite unit.
In any marriage chart it is good to make sure that the rulers of the two people getting married are harmoniously aspected with each other, and if possible, the rulers of each's marriage house (7th house). FYI, "love affairs" are ruled by the 5th house, not the 7th. That's why even if one has a boyfriend or girlfriend for years but has never married, then it cannot be counted as a 7th house activity.
The first marriage is ruled by the 7th house, as are all partnership circumstances throughout the life. The second marriage is ruled by the 9th house, the third marriage by the 11th house, and so on. This is the source of much confusion among amateur astrologers and novices at the craft, and the reason I ask people who come to me for a wedding date whether they've been married before or not.
If I'm planning someone's second wedding, then their significator is the ruler of their 9th house and any planets in that house, and the 7th becomes more of a secondary and even generic influence.
And on a final note, the week of July 11, 2005 was a great week for getting married, since there were many favorable aspects made between the rulers of many signs. I know of several weddings for that week, and somehow it also seems that Jupiter in Libra has brought more marriages to the fore than I remember in other years.
Maybe Libra, the sign of marriage and partnership, is somehow expanded by Jupiter into a hopefulness and an adventure in partnership. Maybe marriages under the influence of Jupiter in Libra are somehow the archetype of what the higher truth of relationship is really all about. So if you were wondering, it was a great week to elope and a great time to get married. There are also other great days coming, but that's another article for another time.
People with a lot of planets in the Ninth House will focus their life on a search for meaning and adventure. They may well be attracted to religions or even cults. They may also excel in danger sports and challenges of all kinds. They may spend much of their life travelling, living abroad or seeing foreign cultures. They will be good teachers and inspirational leaders.
With Neptune in the Ninth House a person will look for spiritual enlightenment by seeing the different cultures of the world of through a formal religion. With Mercury in the the Ninth House a person could be a great travel writer or inspirational storyteller. With the Moon in the Ninth House a person will be nurtured and nourished by having a higher meaning in their life.
The Ninth House shows our future generations such as grandchildren, as well as distant relatives and in-laws.
The bhavas that are most essential to the determination of the quality and character of the horoscope are (1) Lagna, (2) Bhagya and (3) Karma bhavas. The three go together, they are integrated. For, it is easy enough to perceive that as there has to be a wall before there is a good painting on it, so, there has to be a strong lagna to have a good Bhagya and good Karma.
And since Bhagya and Karma are really the same thing in the circular order karma determining the bhagya (destiny) and bhagya determining the karma—they would always go together with the lagna. In fact the trio are inseparable. Every lagna has its bhagya and every bhagya has its karma. The karma determines the bhagya and both effect the individual that is lagna.
Graha Yamal an authoritative ancient text sets forth the sovereign importance of karma bhava and bhagya bhava in these words "The Karmasthana is very important and has to be studied very carefully. If there is no graha (planet) here or this house is not aspected by any graha the native roams about in abject poverty. Also when the bhagyasthana and the karmasthana are without any planet or unaspected, the result is deplorable". So, the dharna bhava (bhagya, dharma and 9th house are synonymous) and the karma bhava have to be rightly evaluated in a horoscope.
Another name for bhagya bhava is Purba Janma (previous birth). A favorable 'daiva' helps the individual to take all hurdles without much difficulty. An unfavorable 'daiva' raises obstacles at every step. It is only when the individual is exceptionally favored with a strong karmasthana, that he can take all the obstacles in his stride and make satisfactory progress in life. The dhana bhava and karma bhava both are also included in bhagya bhava.
The native's wealth, name and fame and distinction may be at their best if there is favorable bhagya yoga in the horoscope. As told before there is a link between previous birth and the worldly happiness and exuberant career of the present birth. In judging the beneficial condition of the bhagya lord we must note the condition of bhagya-karta, which is the secondary ruler of destiny. The lord of the rasi where: bhagyapathi is situated is the ruler or controller of the native's destiny.
If the bhagya-karta planet is happily disposed, aspected by or conjoined with benefic planet or planets the native shall also be lucky. Of course, we must not overlook the quality of the 9th lord; both bhagyapathi and bhagya-karta being favorable will do immense good to the native.
