Chapter XVI. The Ninth House—Philosophy AND TRAVEL（续 1）

Tue Moon in the ninth house denotes a keen imagination, a mind receptive to higher thought ideals, and the ability to study or understand metaphysical subjects. It gives a love for travel and denotes many changes in the life and those chiefly of a beneficial and improving nature. If afflicted: by Mars, affects the religious tendencies, either giving over-enthusiasm, or peculiar and unorthodox views; by Saturn, sorrow and grief through religious difficulties; by Uranus, a tendency to become too romantic, dreamy and visionary. If well aspected: native is fond of investigating new subjects, and is generally penetrative and very reflective; gains success through travel and takes a deep interest in all modern modes of transit. This position denotes an ingenious mind, inventive, full of plans and progressive ideas. If afflicted by the Sun this is an evil position, tending to cause brain troubles.

The ninth house may be said to be the home of the metaphysical and occult mind in which the subconscious mental state is concerned,

and wherein are denoted dreams and all that pertains to the intangible, \

the subjective, and the idealistic side of life. It is the house in which the //fe side is more in evidence than the form, through the medium of what may be definitely known as the Higher Mind. It always denotes that which is to be the unfolding of what is possible in the future, and all planets in this house have a higher vibration than when placed in any other, but particularly so far as the mind apart from the brain is concerned. It is true that this is a cadent house and therefore not considered so important as the angles, but it denotes the unexpressed, the motive behind the act, the thought behind the speech. When it denotes the acts of the native’s life he will have so far advanced as to become a true magician, therefore the most the majority can hope to express from this house is speech, which is thus the true Vach, the gift of prophecy; the power to become clairvoyant with that clear vision which sees the future will be denoted by the mysterious potency which this house gives to planets found in it at birth.

A very good illustration of the ninth house in connection with travel will be found in the horoscope of Stanley Conder, Publ in Manual No. 12, My Friends’ Horoscopes.
