As the third house is concerned with personal expression in terms of communication, the ninth house, its opposite, is concerned with group thoughts and self-expression.

Those collective thoughts are especially crystallized in religious and philosophical ideas, the law, as well as higher learning. So this house is in charge of all the major social institutions.

Also, this house is about long-distance travel and the knowledge obtained during it. It’s also related to foreign cultures and everything that is foreign in terms of things to do with collective communication and thoughts.

So it’s the house of the collective mind, so to speak. It also shows whether the native is able to access a higher level of inspiration, is wise, and is able to develop a social conscience.

Here are the meanings of the planets located in this house.

Pluto in the ninth house
Neptune in the ninth house
Uranus in the ninth house
Saturn in the ninth house
Jupiter in the ninth house
Mars in the ninth house
Sun in the ninth house
Venus in the ninth house

Pluto in the ninth house

This placement gives to the native an ability to correct flaws in social thinking and institutions. The native is tuned into the collective unconscious and is able to come up with social structures that suit the society of the age better.

If this planet is well-aspected, the native could be a powerful spiritual leader.

There will be a hunger for higher learning and spirituality. The hunger could be great, leading to high competitiveness in these fields, as well as spiritual pride.

The native might be highly educated and will seek to be known in the area of spirituality, travel, law or higher education.

Unlike most other placements of Pluto, in this placement, the native will be guided by morality in his pursuit of becoming well-known or achieving heights in the areas mentioned.

If they see that there’s unfairness or malfunction in the current social institutions, he might be the cause of their destruction and regeneration.

However, the situation is not that good with an afflicted Pluto. In such a case this placement would produce a religious extremist whose goal of life is to convert others to his way of thinking. Also, with an afflicted Pluto the person could be an atheist, or his social or religious philosophy might be harmful to society.

But even if this is the case, it’s very likely that he will naturally have to go through a life-changing experience that will force him to change his personal philosophies.

It’s through the areas ruled by this house that the native evolves and regenerates himself. He also has the ability to rekindle interest in social ideas that are ancient or simply no longer popular.

He might whole-heartedly subscribe to some ideology which eventually he will understand to be wrong and this will shatter his life but also will regenerate him.

He might be intolerant to people who think differently from him or whose religion and spiritual belief system is different. In such a case, something will happen for him to change this attitude and he will become more tolerant.

He’s likely to be capable of manipulating the masses. He might be aware of this ability or it could be dormant. It’s important not to misuse it.

Another possible field of interest or even occupation is in the field of science, social psychology, or teaching doctrines of some school of thought.

If this planet is in conjunction with Mars, the native might even use force to convert others to his way of thinking.

This placement also promises life-changing experiences during long-distance travels. The native might even move to a distant country to live there for a long time or for the rest of his life.

With this placement it could be that the native couldn’t afford to visit foreign countries and when finally he is able, he falls in love with the culture he visits and decides to stay there.

Also, the person may pursue careers in politics and religion, but usually out of the desire to control the masses (their thoughts) rather than for some humanitarian purpose.

He will want to revenge those who think him wrong.

If he’s interested in law, he will strive to become a judge and if he strongly believes in the correctness of the legal system, he would make a fair and strict judge who will not make verdicts based on a soft heart.

He gets a rush when people are afraid of him, thus all the striving to achieve positions of real influence and greatness. An occupation of a priest, a spiritual leader of any sort also gives that rush.

Neptune in the ninth house

The native is interested in mysticism and eastern forms of spirituality in particular. A well-aspected Neptune here can make one a seer and can give immense knowledge of spirituality. But an afflicted Neptune can make one into a blind follower of some fake guru, or he can become a religious extremist.

He’s one of those people who will not care about formal education or wealth or anything material and his whole life might be dedicated to living out some spiritual idea.

The native might make all his life about spirituality and he will have great faith in the Higher Power. He will be a truth-seeker. If Neptune is positively aspected, the native will experience extraordinary psychic phenomena of a positive nature.

He will be in communication with the Divine/Higher Self and think it to be communication with external power. He will receive answers to his prayers and motivated by this strong connection with the Divine may become a spiritual leader.

If, however, Neptune is afflicted, he might fall prey to spiritual charlatans. So in such a case, it’s best not to trust anyone in the religious field but to research it independently. It’s especially important to beware of foreign spiritual teachers because they will most likely sense that the native’s spiritual gates are wide open and they may abuse him. So the native is advised to steer clear of getting too involved in some foreign religious sect, no matter how genuine it might seem.

This placement also may make the native get lost in a foreign country.

He will find it difficult to study dry subjects but might excel in the study of spiritual or artistic subjects. This placement may make legal matters not very clear and if the native has to deal with the law side because of his occupation, it’s best to find someone tried and tested to deal with it.

The native might be simply not interested in the legal side of his work and fail to protect some creative work of his properly. His work rights might be stolen or he might be unable to earn money from it.

He is likely to travel to distant foreign countries because he will be attracted to their culture and spiritual beliefs.

Neptune often guides people’s searches in the wrong direction. With this placement, it’s very important to exercise discernment in spiritual matters. The native should guard against wanting to become a spiritual martyr. He should also guard against delusions of spiritual greatness or spiritual mastery.

They might self-educate themselves though, so it’s unlikely they would feel that they’re missing out on higher education. It could be that they start higher education but then out of boredom or rebellion cut the studies short.

It’s also likely that the native will start some career, maybe in the fields of travel, education, or spirituality, and then decide to take up some other career. He might also become involved in bettering society through some social reform. His ideas might be idealistic and the society may not be ready for them, but his ideas might make the society advance at least in a small way.

If the planet is ill-aspected by malefics, the native should not get involved in any mass-political activity abroad because it won’t end well. Also, make sure you research a foreign country quite well before booking tickets to go there, because Uranus may influence you to be too impulsive, and problems will result from that.

For example, at the airport, it will turn out you don’t have the required visa, or you don’t have some required medical document, or you are not aware that it’s dangerous to visit that particular country because of war or political unrest, for example.

An afflicted Uranus may create a rebel without a cause, a person who stirs up masses just for the sake of rebellion or just because he wants to destroy the existing traditional structure.
