So I have my 9th house in Leo (Sagittarius ascendant) and the ruler of my 9th house, the sun, is in the 7th. As we know, the 9th house governs philosophy, education, and thirst for foreign cultures and customs. I like seeing new places and new countries from time to time, but it's hard for me to adapt to a foreign culture because I'm so deeply rooted in my own. I certainly don't have wanderlust or anything like that and a lot of times I get tired and just prefer to stay home or go somewhere not too far. As for philosophy and religion I'm not really into the work of any philosopher or kind of philosophy, I just like to wonder about certain things. I'm certainly not well-educated in terms of having degrees and from a personal POV it's futile to pursue higher education beyond a certain point unless one is REALLY into a subject. I don't equate education with pieces of paper.
Since the ruler of my 9th is in the 7th, some have suggested I may very well end up marrying a foreigner. However, I certainly don't feel the pull of foreign lands and cultures very strongly, I've spent all my life in either China or a strong overseas Chinese community. Traveling a bit has made me realize how I don't really adapt to foreign cultures all that well when it comes to the food, the norms, the values, the language and so on though I enjoy seeing the historical and natural sights a place has to offer.
I certainly don't feel this draw towards foreigners, to me there's nothing special about them. If I really had to pick one stage of my life where I dreamed of marrying a foreigner, it was my "experimental phase" a few years ago (when I was 18-19) where I was chatting up girls from Southeast Asia over the internet. That phase has now passed and nothing conclusive came out of it.
I guess it could also come down to how "foreigner" is defined? In my view, if you're ethnic Chinese to me you're not a foreigner in the strictest sense because there's shared blood and likely a shared heritage. Maybe "foreigner" in this case means someone holding a different passport / national identity rather than someone from a different ethniciry / race / culture?
My Sun is Square my Saturn and so is my Mercury, so perhaps these make me more conservative than I'd otherwise be?
