The Astrological Ninth House-What is the ninth house ?

The Astrological Ninth House

What is the ninth house in astrology?

In comparison to the previous house, the ninth house is relatively easy to handle – emotionally speaking! As we move from the

eighth house to the ninth house symbolism we have the opportunity to put our past experiences into perspective and to gain a better understanding of where they fit in to the big picture of our lives.

Before we look at the ninth house, it may be helpful to review the meaning of the previous one – the eighth house. Some of the themes associated with the eighth house include sex, transformation, death, rebirth and psychotherapy – basically any situation that requires us to dig deep within ourselves to ‘survive’ intense life situations.

Another way to look at the ninth house is in contrast to the opposite third house where logic, everyday thinking and local travel are represented. Through the ninth house the mind broadens into a more intuitive and symbolic expression of ideas – looking at the big picture. Where the third house represents local travel, this house represents long-distance journeys.

‘Why was I born?” is a question that relates to this house. For people with a strong ninth house this question may end up being a quest that entails many physical and psychological journeys in search of an answer.

Some of the areas where ninth house issues are looked for are through the legal system – basically the definition of what is right and wrong, religious interests, symbols, dreams and the occult (hidden knowledge). Where the third house gives us the urge to relate to the people around us, the ninth house gives us the desire to unite with something bigger than ourselves – something to believe in. This is where the abovementioned themes come into action.

Searching for something or someone to believe in, and for meaning in your life may also mean an interest in books, learning and higher education as well (the third house represents our early education).

Where the third house represents your relationship with a brother or sister (blood relations – peers), the ninth house represents your relationship with an in-law (relatives not related by blood), and grandchildren (for other, more technical reasons).

Let’s look at a couple of quick examples… Moon in ninth and Saturn in ninth.

The Moon in the ninth house natally indicates that the individual will have a good feeling for the language of symbols and tends to learn through soaking up impressions. Since the Moon represents the home, the individual would most probably live overseas at some stage of their life.

A History of Classical Music: Basic Terms This page will help familiarize you with any musical terms you may need to brush up on during our ongoing discussion of classical music history. A History of Classical Music: Basic Terms to Know In our series tracing the history and development of classical music, we will be using the following terms, explained here for your reference. Atonal : The lack of tonality (see Tonal). Atonal music contains pitches or harmonies in which there is no hierarchy or order in relation to a “home” or tonic pitch of a key. Atonal music, because it lacks a sense of structure, tends to sound disconcerting to some listeners. Counterpoint : An advanced type of polyphony in which two or more different melodic voices move independently of each other but are related harmonically. It differs from mere overall polyphony because of this harmonic element. Two or more melodic lines played together but with no regard for the harmonies that are created is polyphonic, but...

Leo Themes Astrology and Mythology

Leo:  July 24 – August 23 Leo Themes Astrology and Mythology Following on from the mothering Cancer sign, we move on to Leo – a sign associated with the father. This is a fixed, fire sign – that suggests it is an energy which stays the same and is passionately emotional. The fixed, fire influence also suggests that this is an energetic, outgoing, stubborn and stable energy. It is an extraverted sign too because of the fire influence. While Cancer is the sign associated with motherhood, Leo is associated with parenthood and children. In the Leo part of the developmental cycle, we have reached the stage where the ego of the individual has become strong and complete. The needs at this stage are quite basic, being personal recognition. If this need is met then the Leo influence can be positive and admirable with great powers to attract others to them.
