THE NINTH HOUSE Travel, Higher Learning, Philosophy of Life The ninth house is the field of long range goals, planning and long distance travel. Matters of profound mental interest, including religion, philosophy and higher education are ninth house affairs. Also associated with the ninth are journeys to far off places and searches for new horizons, both physically and mentally.   Aries Aries ruling the ninth house shows an optimistic and forward-looking spirit. You take the initiative in forming plans, realizing that all enterprises begin with ideas. You have no problem visualizing your goal and you are such a positive thinker that you are sure you can get there. No matter how bad things get today, you know they'll be better tomorrow. You're a trail blazer that loves to travel, but you want to have the path well planned and know the reason for the trip.   Taurus The Taurus influence on this house suggests an approach to religious and philosophical issues that is steeped in traditional values. You are the archetypal reactionary in these matters; rarely changing or relinquishing your initial views. Your abilities to teach may extend to expounding on the dogma to which you firmly subscribe. Your ideas are related to particulars, instead of generalities and progressive notions. Venus, as ruler of Taurus, has domination over the affairs of this house. Venus makes travel and education especially enjoyable, and you are very much at ease living far from your native home.   Gemini The Gemini influence in this house shows that serious matters such as philosophy and religion attract your interest in a passing way. They must be presented with reason, common sense, and logic. This placement shows mental restlessness and the need for constant activity or stimulation. You have much curiosity about life and about people. You especially enjoy travel mostly for sake of meeting and observing different people and places. You may not be the most profound thinker around, but you're never at a loss for words. You can hold your own mentally in most crowds.   Cancer The Cancer influence on the ninth house denotes strong emotional ties to religious and philosophical beliefs. As the Moon rules Cancer, the emotional impulses of the Moon are felt in affairs of publicity and promotion, and personal recognition for you. You will work in a selfless fashion, with as sense of emotional vigor, for causes in which you believe. You are very adaptable culturally, feeling much at home away from home. You could adjust easily to life in a foreign country. You react intuitively to all people and cultures.   Leo The influence of Leo positioned on the ninth house cusp is shown in the pride and confidence you take in your ideas. The Sun rules Leo focusing this as the area of greatest vitality in your chart. Energies are consolidated in the affairs of this house denoting a love of these more profound matters. Travels of long duration may be your favorite form of recreation. Travel can become as much a necessity as food or drink. Your quest for education may be insatiable, and many with this influence become "professional students." Philosophical and idealistic, you are caught up in abstract thought. You'd like to convert, or at least enlighten, those less informed than you. You are a natural teacher of higher thought.   Virgo With Virgo influencing the ninth house, pragmatism rules the view on major issues, including religion and philosophy. You are very interested and in tune with foreign affairs and what is going on in the world abroad. Your view of life remains in a practical, cut-and-dried mode, and your thoughts and ideas are as orderly as your office files. Your insistence that what you "know" is absolutely correct can lead to an oppressive, closed-minded attitude on many subjects. This is not altogether unfavorable as you are intellectual in your approach and many of your views are based on careful analytical study and research. You hold to the letter of law, as you interpret the law. There is a tendency to fight change and maintain the status quo.   Libra The Libra influence over the ninth house suggests a significant interrelationship between outward appearance and moral code. Outer appearances reflect innermost attitudes. It is likely that you always display very good taste in your appearance, and, that you are put off by things of a crude nature. You are balanced in your views of life's more serious issues, and you have a strong sense of justice. The rulership of Venus over the ninth house denotes a considerable appreciation for education, travel, law and philosophy, the issues related to this sector of the chart. Cooperation and a strong sense of social justice are shown by this placement. The public demeanor is harmonious and easygoing.   Scorpio The influence of Scorpio in the ninth house shows a strong interest in abstract ideas and studying the many mysteries of life. There is great depth in your need to know and understand the purpose of living. It is probable that your studies and philosophy will be outside what is considered orthodox; it is likely that occult laws will hold a special interest for you. You are critical of formal academic disciplines, preferring to attune yourself to these questions through direct experience instead of through normal intellectual processes. There is a strong, almost compulsive urge to travel around the world. Although it is a bit out of style these days, traveling by sea should have a special appeal for you.   Sagittarius The Sagittarius influence in the ninth house shows a continuous longing for "greener pastures" and the urge to travel and explore. You possess a farseeing outlook and a broad-minded nature. You have a built-in sense of philosophy. With respect to the issues of religion, education, and philosophy, your views are serious and follow conventional lines. With maturity, the development of a viable philosophy of life becomes increasingly important to you. Perhaps because of the optimism and a willingness to reach out, good fortune and good things often happen to you.   Capricorn The influence of Capricorn in the ninth house shows a conservatism associated with ideas and abstract thought. Before changing any of your views, you have to be shown hard evidence supporting such a change. Your approach to spiritual life is orthodox. You tend to travel only when it serves a useful purpose, usually associated with business. The planet Saturn rules Capricorn, and this is the planet of restriction and devotion to duty. Saturn ruling the ninth house implies responsibility associated with publicity or recognition. The call to duty with this placement may be very strong, and the weight of recognition, very heavy.   Aquarius The influence of Aquarius in the ninth house shows one who is progressive, unusual, and freethinking in matters of philosophy, education, and religion. Some of your friends may be involved in these areas of endeavor and you enjoy exchanging ideas with them. Your scientific outlook prompts you to rebel against many orthodox dogmas and you like to expound on your beliefs. You like to travel to break out of the pattern that was established for you in your early life. Much of the way you view life is modern and sometimes even advanced.   Pisces The Pisces influences on actions in ninth house often denotes an association with religion and suggests this will play a major role in your life. Neptune, the ruling planet of Pisces, is the altruistic planet. This planet placed here produces a philosophical attitude that's idealistic and visionary. Inspired insights help you solve many of life's major problems. You are unusually curious about the reasons for your existence on earth. You may never travel vast distances physically, but you do experience those adventures of the mind and the imagination.   © Michael McClain 1996-2008.  Permission is granted for unlimited noncommercial use.  All other rights reserved.
