By A.T. Nunez — Written on Oct 28, 2022
The natal chart is made up of 12 houses, each one impacting a specific aspect of your life.
What is the 9th house in astrology?
Ruled by the Sagittarius zodiac sign and Jupiter, the ninth house is linked to spirituality and religion. It is also where we also discover a passion for education and learning.
While the eighth house teaches us to find our inner strength and power, the ninth is all about applying the newfound courage we develop into expanding our dreams and creating foundations essential for the tenth house.
Since the 9th house is related to spiritual concepts and our personal philosophies, it is also connected to the third house, which shows our early education which the ninth builds upon. If we had a passion for higher learning, beyond the undergraduate level, the ninth can show us what postgraduate study we could be interested in achieving.
In this house, we learn more about ourselves and the spiritual development that continues to shape us throughout our lives. We curate what we are passionate about, expand our knowledge, travel, grow, and become fearless adventurers in this House.
