NINTH HOUSE SATURN

The House of Long Journeys - The field of goals and planning

Sense of purpose and direction. Profound mental interests. Searches for new horizons. Distant travel. Residence in foreign lands. Philosophy and religion. Prophecy. Higher education. Organized sport. Advertising and publicity.

There is usually an ability to think seriously and deeply about important issues, and there can be good powers of concentration. It’s possible that the mind will not be very adventurous or inventive, however. As a result, one’s opinions and conclusions may be rather conventional and perhaps a bit unimaginative. There will be a considerable desire to improve the mind, and once course of study is undertaken it will probably be completed, even if it is more work than was expected.

Challenges will be approached with extreme caution. The prospect of physical travel can arouse all kinds of inhibitions and fears of the unknown, such as a terror of flying. If we extend this possibility to a more psychological dimension, it can mean a fear of taking off, intellectually and perhaps emotionally, as well as from the standpoint of beginning to achieve objectives and ambitions. The influence of Saturn can cause inhibition and apprehension.

There may be shyness and a lack of self-confidence. The inferiority complex will be most noticeable when the person is mixing with people whom they believe to be of a higher intellectual or academic level than themselves.

Saturn's influence upon the house of Jupiter arouses the craving to establish a perfect order based upon universal principles. This individual may have so austere an outlook that while they know what is proper, they fail to make virtue sound very appealing. As an administrator, they verge toward orthodoxy in religion, education and business, stressing the letter as well as the spirit of the law. They may be a bureaucrat or an official entrusted with the responsibility of carrying out orders in a conscientious way.
