NINTH
HOUSE SUN
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.
A
ninth-house Sun opens the apertures of the mind and makes a farseeing thinker
who can express ideas with an eye to their broader implications. A
cosmopolitan attitude may be the outcome of travels in many lands or of broad
experience in managing and supervising human activities. Even if the travels
of this individual are confined to the world of literature, their imagination
knows no limits in its quest for truth. They seek to integrate a wealth of
experience into a unified philosophy applicable to all situations. Once they
are convinced they have found the answers to their questions, they want to
share their insights with all who will listen.
Intellectual
growth, the broadening of horizons and the taking of challenging journeys for
mind and body are all ways in which the solar energy is directed from the
ninth house. This was once known as the "house of dreams" an
interesting description because those for whom it is heavily tenanted may get
rather carried away.
If
dreams are to become concrete reality, the subject must adopt a practical
approach and channel his or her intellect in the necessary directions. The
subject will then be able to develop their potential and make the most of the
force of the Sun.
Further
education, in the broadest sense, is related to ninth house matters, just as
the third house focuses on education in general. We do not necessarily find
those with this placing studying for exams well into their sixties, but the
drive for the expansion of mind will nevertheless be present, and it is
important for the individual to develop their own philosophy of life, with
carefully considered religious beliefs based on definite conclusions.
There
are few limitations for the individual born with this placing, but
nevertheless they should not strive so hard that they miss out on the simple
pleasures of life or distance themselves from less intellectually inclined or
motivated people.
