The Ninth House is commonly referred to as the
House of Philosophy. In keeping with that theme,
it's our search for meaning which is the focal point
here. By virtue of exploring our world, we start to
grasp everything that is available to us. It all boils
down to understanding: understanding that which
we see and feel and probing further in the hopes
of realizing true meaning.
Through higher education, we have the hope of
understanding concepts and theories which will
enhance our world. Whether it's philosophy or
psychology, the Ninth House reminds us that we
are on a voyage of discovery. Along that road, we
will come face-to-face with our ideals and further
shape the ethics by which we live. Another
approach to clearer meaning and understanding of
that which we see, and more importantly, that
which we do not see, is through religion.
Understanding and accepting that which is greater
than us, and our world, is key to the Ninth House.
Sadly, we might not always be humble in the face
of what we have. A concrete understanding of the
possibilities in life may well lead to ruthless
ambition and greed and an over-expansion of the
self. To face these demons most effectively in
society, we institute laws. These laws provide for
the orderly and positive growth of that society. In
much the same way, philosophy and religion help
add focus and purpose to a productive society.
How members of a society relate, and knowing
and respecting the laws by which they live, are
core tenets of the Ninth House.
The way in which we expand our inner and outer
lives is also addressed by the Ninth House. Travel
and interaction with other peoples and cultures
are a means to this end. Our dreams, those
which illustrate our past as well as those which
speak to future events, also help to mold our
being and our relationships. Taking this a step
further, psychics as the bearers of relevant
information also come into play.
Additionally, the Ninth House addresses
publishing and multinational ventures such as
import/export businesses. This House also has a
multi-generational view, taking into account
grandchildren as well as in-laws. At the end of the
day, however, the Ninth House is best described
as philosophically inclined in the search for
meaning and truth.
The Ninth House is ruled by the Sign Sagittarius
and the Planet Jupiter.
