CONCERNING THE NINTH HOUSE AND THE PLANETS THEREIN.
The ninth house has rule over a large number of subjects, and a very great deal depends upon the planets placed in this house, as to which of the different subjects are affected.
The chief matters governed by the ninth house are religion and the clergy; law courts, legal matters, and those connected therewith; shipping, colonial affairs and trade, science, invention, etc.
The Lunation falling in the ninth house will bring into activity all these matters. If well aspected, benefits will accrue, but if evilly aspected, note the position of the aspecting planet, as this will show in what direction the evil will come. If Jupiter, then in connection religion or commerce; if Mars, disputes in shipping or mercantile affairs.
The Sun in the ninth is a beneficial position when well aspected and improves the condition of all things connected with this house. When evilly aspected, it shows disputes and troubles therein according to the position of the aspecting planet.
The Moon in the ninth denotes changes in ninth house affairs. If well aspected, improvement and benefits, but if evilly aspected, not the position of the aspecting planet, and judge accordingly.
Mercury in the ninth denotes activity in commercial and legal affairs, and legislation affecting these matters; it denotes activity in publishing, scientific and inventive circles. If afflicted, disputes over trade and commerce, important legal cases, libel, forgery and the like. Much personal recrimination in the press.
Venus in the ninth is a favourable position, denoting peaceful relations with the colonies, extension of commercial powers and improvement of trade. If afflicted, it is evil for these affairs, bringing unpleasant cases in the law courts, criminal proceedings, scandals in religious and legal circles. Mars in the ninth causes disputes in religious and legal affairs, fires and accidents to shipping, deaths among noted men of the legal, clerical, and shipping world. It denotes trouble in colonial affairs, and affects their trade and commerce.
Jupiter in the ninth is favourable for religious and commercial affairs, colonial matter, shipping, and the like. Improvement is shown, development in trade and commerce and much success generally in all matters signified by the ninth house. If afflicted, it causes disputes in religion, financial troubles, and heavy expenses.
Saturn in the ninth is bad for shipping, and denotes disasters to vessels, collisions, and many deaths thereby. Strikes in shipping circles. Much trouble in the religious and legal world, deaths of notable men of these professions and much illness in the same callings. All matters connected with the ninth house will be under a cloud when Saturn is placed therein, and, if afflicted, the evil will be much increased.
Uranus in the ninth shows explosions, and accidents on ships, fires, strikes and disputes between master and man in shipping circles; sudden and unexpected troubles in the colonies. If well aspected, it shows remarkable scientific discoveries, new inventions, and the like.
Neptune in the ninth denotes scandals in religious and legal circles, criminal proceedings, fraud in trade and commerce. Strange doings will be reported in the religious world, and exposures of mediums and spiritualistic impostors. If well aspected, it is good for the occult and mystical, and psychic discoveries.
