When the ruler of the ninth house is in the ninth house, this means that the following areas may strongly feature in your life: traveling, writing, publishing, spirituality, science, teaching, learning, and/or legal matters.
A lot will depend on the ruler of the ninth house and the sign involved, as well as the afflictions present or absent. But here are some examples of how this combination may play out.
If the ruler is positive and without afflictions, this means that you will travel a great deal in your life, especially long-distance, and that travels will bring you luck, will expand your views, and will make you spiritually and personally grow.
You are likely to travel for spiritual or scientific reasons, or because your work involves travel. You are either a spiritual or scientifically-minded person who is optimistic and has the ability to see the positives even in a negative situation.
It often is the case that the natives with such a placement may not necessarily be religious or spiritual at the begining, but with the passing of time, they get closer and closer to the Divine, and in their old age they become very spiritual or religious.
You are likely to have an effortless talent in writing, and you may write books or be involved in the publishing sector. You are also a natural teacher, able to easily explain the subjects to others that you know well about.
You are a lifelong student, interested in life in general, and always being open to new experiences and the change of scenery, as that makes you feel alive and it makes you grow as a person.
The ruler of the ninth house in the ninth house can also show an interest in the legal system, and even the pursuit of the occupations such as that of a lawyer, judge, or as an employee in some law sector.
When this combination is afflicted, quite different interpretation applies. It can mean, for example, that being involved in legal matters can bring many troubles and frustrations. It can also mean that when you travel long-distance, you end up spending too much money and taking careless or risky actions.
It may reveal that you love writing, but your books may not bring much profit or fame, as a result of them being written in a careless manner, or for some other reason.
The afflicted combination would still make you interested in science or spirituality, but your views may be flawed due to not thinking things through, or for some other reason.
Such an afflicted placement can produce religious zealots and extremists, and also those scientists who are so cold that they conduct experiments that are divorced from all human morals and values. This afflicted placement can also produce self-righteous and hypocritical persons.
Finally, an afflicted combination as such would still show an ability to teach and learn, but the teaching and learning may be inconsistent or not bringing benefits. Often, witch such a placement, a person starts a higher education course, but doesn’t finish it.
