Learn Astrology ( Lesson 26)

The Ninth House (Travel & Religion)
 
The Ninth House signals influence over long-distance travel, overseas travel, law, religion, marriage, relatives, philosophy, or the business partner's relatives. A long journey in astrology means one of over twenty-four hours. Someday no journey will take that long as science continues to unravel the mysteries of the universe. The Ninth House is also the House of publication, particularly bound books, and treatises that are meant to be long-lasting.
The Ninth House governs long-distance travel in contradistinction to the Third House which rules short or medium distance journeys. It stipulates the religious and associated interests concerning the higher minded rather than the ordinary studies of an educational and kindred nature as ruled by the Third House. It also influences matters concerning relatives by marriage or the business partner's relatives instead of one's own personal relatives. The nature of the sign on the cusp of the House will indicate the prospects of long-distance travel. It will influence the personal attitude of the native towards religion and the reaction of the marriage or business partner's relatives toward oneself and vice-versa.
 
The Mutable Signs exhibit the strongest signification of long-distance and overseas travel. They also point to the space age travel.
 
The Cardinal Signs are next in line as far as affects involving long-distance travel. They exert their strongest influence predominantly in regard to sea or water travel.
 
The Fixed Signs promulgate that long-distance and overseas travel will be more likely to depend on the material and financial situation in which the native finds himself. There may always be a strong desire for travel here but the means will not always be readily available.

The Ninth House also renders influence in legal matters. Depending on the Sign present on the cusp of the Ninth House, the native will approach the legal profession.
In a Mundane Figure the Ninth House distinguishes the long-distance passenger, freight transportation and communications, by or over sea, air, and land. It also indicates inclination towards religion and clergy.
 
In a National Figure the Ninth House heralds the Secretary of the State as a government official, the educated classes and those who control or govern the reading, writing or traveling habits of the public.
 
In an organization it influences advertising, long distance communications and the relations with educational institutions and publications.
