The Ninth House and Religion

I have to ask since Traditional astrology is new to me then how to interpret empty houses? My 8th and 5th are empty, and searching has brought up the planetary ruler of the sign the house falls on. For my 8th it's Mercury which is easy enough, but 5th is Pisces. Presumably ruled by Jupiter by Traditional standards? Would a Traditional astrologer even interpret an empty House this way, planetary governance by sign or is google messing with me? Thanks for the chart!!


Related bummer: I had my spiritual side "all figured out" with 5th house ruler Moon aspects laid out on a Modern chart. Back to the drawing board, but is it safe to assume the 9th House and religion are tied together more academically and 5th is more about the spiritual side of religion?

This is a very good question, and my recommendation would be to create a new thread restating it. That way it isn't buried on page four or five of a thread about the 9th house. Likely, you aren't the only one who would like to see it answered. :smile:

5th being Pisces
Jupiter is traditional domicile ruler of Pisces
with Venus the Exalted ruler of Pisces
so the sign and house location of natal Jupiter and natal Venus
as well as their aspects to other natal planets,
all have an influence regarding matters of Pisces 5th house :smile:

Well you learn somethng new everyday, that is the first time I have read that you should consider the exalted ruler of a sign of a house in its interpretation

"If Venus were in the 9th house and in her own domicile or exaltation,
the native will be a famous hermit
,
and this most strongly if Jupiter aspected by a good aspect"

Mother Theresa
aka The Blessed Teresa of Calcutta
born 26 August 1910 – 5 September 1997
was an Albanian born, Indian Roman Catholic Religious Sister.


9th House Leo Venus
note Jupiter in Libra on MC in good aspect with Venus by sextile :smile:
A famous hermit??? An oxymoron. Venus in the 9th relates to higher learning, foreign travel and contacts, higher laws and our belief systems.
None of which relates to a famous anything really, necessarily.

Mother Teresa was a Virgo which is typical for a nun or a virgin which she undoubtedly was. She had her MC ruler sextile Jupiter for religious matters and spending her money on it. She was from a wealthy family.

On the contrary, hermits are in general famed not only in their local area but also in some cases
- given today's news media and swift communication internet systems -
often famed worldwide
AND YET MANY WHO DELIBERATELY SEEK FAME, IRONICALLY REMAIN UNKNOWN
:smile:


Mother Theresa, a famous hermit, a woman who is well documented IN NEWS MEDIA
– THEREFORE FAMOUS -
as having spent decades of her adult life in the slums of Calcutta attending to the dying, those 'forgotten people', frequently homeless, considered as 'human trash', may have been born into a wealthy family, however her entire worldly possessions during her decades as a nun were two saris and a bucket. She famously wore one sari while the other having been washed in the bucket was being dried in the hot sun of India, her homeland.

Mother Theresa was famous for doing what most others would not do
i.e. She left home at age 18 and joined the Sisters of Loreto as a missionary nun and never again saw her mother or sister.
Mother Theresa devoted her entire adult life as a nun, to seeking out the filthiest most disease ridden areas of Indian cities, mostly Calcutta, and nursing the dying and diseased inhabitants. She did not fulfil the popular notion of a hermit by 'living in a cave in the mountains' but she was a hermit.


QUOTE

'….Mother Teresa founded Missionaries of Charity, a Roman Catholic religious congregation, which 2012 consisted of over 4,500 sisters active in 133 countries. They run hospices and homes for people with HIV/AIDS, leprosy and tuberculosis; soup kitchens; children's and family counseling programmes; orphanages; and schools. Members of the order must adhere to the vows of chastity, poverty and obedience, and the fourth vow, to give "Wholehearted and Free service to the poorest of the poor". Mother Teresa received 1979 Nobel Peace Prize, was beatified 2003 - the third step toward possible sainthood - giving her the title "Blessed Teresa of Calcutta"....'


'….During her lifetime, Mother Teresa was named 18 times yearly Gallup most admired man/woman poll as one of ten women worldwide Americans admired most, finishing first several times in 1980s and 1990s. In 1999, Americans ranked her first in Gallup's List of Most Widely Admired People of the 20th Century. In that survey, she out-polled all other volunteered answers by a wide margin, and was in first place in all major demographic categories except the very young. Privately, for nearly 50 years until the end of her life, Mother Teresa experienced doubts/ struggles over her religious beliefs - "She felt no presence of God whatsoever" said her postulator Rev. Brian Kolodiejchuk....'

JMO it is interesting that Mother Theresa wrote the following statement in a letter, thus proving that a belief in God is unnecessary in order to do good deeds


'...."Where is my faith? Even deep down ... there is nothing but emptiness and darkness ... If there be God—please forgive me. When I try to raise my thoughts to Heaven, there is such convicting emptiness that those very thoughts return like sharp knives and hurt my very soul ... How painful is this unknown pain—I have no Faith. Repulsed, empty, no faith, no love, no zeal, ... What do I labor for? If there be no God, there can be no soul. If there be no soul then, Jesus, You also are not true" ....'



Another famous hermit is Gautama Buddha – who was born into a wealthy home as an Indian Prince, yet abandoned fabulous wealth, as well as a beautiful young wife and family for a hermits existence – Gautama Buddha is famed for having sat under a Bo-tree in the wilderness until he famously attained enlightenment. Gautama Buddha was followed by many disciples who followed him for his teaching. Many hermits have a following. They remain hermits. Many hermits are famous.

"( Eremites , "inhabitants of a desert ", from the Greek eremos ), also called anchorites, were men who fled the society of their fellow-men to dwell alone in retirement. Not all of them, however, sought so complete a solitude as to avoid absolutely any intercourse with their fellow-men. Some took a companion with them, generally a disciple ; others remained close to inhabited places, from which they procured their food. This kind of religious life preceded the community life of the cenobites. Elias is considered the precursor of the hermits in the Old Testament . St. John the Baptist lived like them in the desert. Christ, too, led this kind of life when he retired into the mountains....."

What is a hermit?
A hermit is a person who lives apart from society. Traditionally, this has meant living alone and self-sufficiently, but not always. The word "hermit" is derived from the Greek eremia for "desert," in reference to the Desert Fathers of the fourth century; and eremos came to mean solitary. The Latin equivalent is solitarius.
The term recluse is often taken as a synonym but it has a more behavioral sense to it, while the term "hermit" often retains its deliberate, even spiritual sense. For example, the famed eleventh edition of the Encyclopedia Britannica defined "hermit" as "a solitary, one who withdraws from all intercourse with other human beings in order to live a life of religious contemplation." However, the American Heritage Dictionary defines "hermit" as "a person who has withdrawn from society and lives a solitary existence; a recluse."

I have my Sun(Pisces) in the 9th House, I didn't have any religious upbringing in my childhood.Both my parents were very spiritual, caring, well-traveled, educated (as this house also reflects education + travels) but they didn't "believe" in a specific God or raising me + my brother to believe or follow a certain religion. I don't consider myself religious, but I am spiritual by nature. I don't know if this is considered also atheism in some cultures..but yes I feel I am responsible for my soul + mission.I breathe in order to learn and connect with other. Also I read somewhere that the 9th House reflects long journeys...Any other suggestions would be welcome. THANKS :)

My 9th house is Gemini Deleted by Moderator

My belief is very complex, it constantly changes. I was atheist for a while. In my country people are mostly Muslim but I just feel connection to its Sufism side. I'm more into spirituality than dogmatic religions and I'm bored of rules and rituals to do everyday. I believe in family karma/past karma and unity. I don't want to choose a belief, I would like to believe all of them at the same time.

Dear Kimbermoon ,
In the past few months I have been experiencing a state of contemplation and growth in a multitude of psychological and Spiritual states. I was speaking with a friend moments before I logged into this site and came across this validating piece of writing. In addition to your planets and placements I have similar aspects. I have a Moon/Taurus in the 9th, deleted by moderator and a Jupiter in Pisces as well as Sun/Mars/Venus in Scorpio. Subsequently, after experiencing insightful revelations into lessons I had been working on for at least 6 years I came across this essay which miraculously tied rite into an epic moment I needed to solidify just then. I. would like to share part of my story. About twenty years ago, while seeking council, I started studying Astrology and learned I possessed a psychological mind and a humanitarian heart. I became Christian in 2007 and was deeply dedicated to the dogma. My story is long and arduous so I will spare you the major details, however I want to tell a brief part of my history so I can share the immensity of my success. Growing up abused and traumatized I had a lot of work to do before I could fathom the idea of pursuing my goal of becoming a psychologist. With all my dysfunctional thinking and anger, compassion escaped me. So My dilemma was, I had all of the cognizant tools to start my journey but radiated with an arrogant ethnocentric view forcing my ideas on others. Before starting college last spring I felt hopeless and fearful of the truth of the hate that dwelled within. I mean how could I be so delusional to think I could help others with this warped sense of righteousness. Although plagued, I persevered with faith. I am currently attending a Cultural Anthropology and Comparative Religion, Philosophy class which I was apprehensive to attend because of my Christianity. I did not want to be influenced away from the Church. I do believe and Know Jesus Christ but struggled regardless. Before recently I was unaware of terms such as ethnocentric and my whole being permeated with it. Thankfully my heart has been opened to accepting others for who and where they are. I truly was unable to get to a genuine place where I could love others. I look forward to continuing my education pursuing Christ, Psychology, Astrology and loving people.

In my chart, Pisces is my 9th house and the planet Mercury is in it, so the planet of communication gave me an ability to share and discuss religious views I have to those who are interested. Pisces like Sagittarius are ruled by planets Jupiter (Zeus, the leading god of the gods) and Neptune.

Christianity thrived to become a major world religion in the last astrological age: the Age of Pisces, and we're now in the Age of Aquarius (yet there's a Capricornian element, since the two signs share the planets Saturn and Uranus) symbolized a more openness toward religion and into spirituality.

The sign Sagittarius is associated with December (but in astrology, the sun is in this sign from Nov. 23-Dec. 21), the month allegedly when Jesus Christ was born to some theologians attempted to find the exact date of his birth, however the sidereal astrologers placed Sagittarius from Dec. 17 to Jan. 15. Also Dec. 21 is the beginning of winter (solstice) in the northern hemisphere, the Roman holiday of Saturnalia was Dec. 25 when the sun is in Capricorn (or 2,000 years ago, in the sign of Aquarius).

Sidereal astrology realigned Aquarius in where tropical Pisces is (Feb. 14-Mar. 11), the other sign (12th house) ruled by Jupiter, again represent the role of religion, but Pisces is more on the mystical side of things in regards to faith. The 9th and 12th houses stands for religion and mysticism, while the 10th and 11th is spirituality and epiphany (Capricorn's attributes).

And going through web sites on astrology, I find one proposed by a known astrologer stated tropical Aquarius is redesignated Sagittarius, the 9th sign. In that version of astrology, Aquarius runs from Mar. 26-Apr. 20 for those born after 1990. For the two signs (and houses) representing religious and spiritual views, Aquarius should be Sagittarius in that POV.

seems I have come late to this party........

Jupiter in 9th house in cancer. Moon in pisces in 4th. interested in religion and how history has been shaped by religion. did think of studying religion at one point and again the similarities in each of the faiths is not surprising to me. raised a catholic but don't practice. whilst I respect people's beliefs I am of the view that there is only one source and what ever tribe we ascribe to on this earth - we all end up in the same place! However do remember being told by someone on this site that this was 'wet' thinking.

very interesting video link(in post before mine) I think the Christ energy is just a vibration. the christos principle to raise the vibration from the solar plexus (money and power dominated) to the heart vibration - love and peace and universal (catholic) love. but agree somehow this has all got twisted and manipulated along the way. Islam means peace but .....

good to know that we have until 2150 to get this right cos so far we as humans seemed to have failed on this one. Dismally.

Well As I understand the three largest religions on the planet come about because of a Chaldean by the name of Abraham who started Judaism, from which Christianity and Islam made detours!

By the way is there any wonder that Judaism, Islam and some Christians embrace astrology as Abraham and his offspring were so much into astrology as it predates the Hebrew faith?:rightful:

Now in her map, :jupiter: is in terms of :mars: at 29 deg. :taurus:.

I have known males with Jupiter ruing their natal 7th and posited in the 9th whom both went to a university abroad, 9th house, and married a woman of foreign extraction, whom were not moral by any of the major world religions standards yet recognized the moral decay of their own nation.

Miss Karla like what happened to King David :sad::devil:and Samson:whistling:(their fall over a woman), has her Venus that is hitting me hard, a great aspect!:love:

So I'm wondering, as she most likely will marry or co-habit with a foreign man(9H) but will she with N. Node :northnode::conjunct:Dec., cjt her descendant and that Jupiter in tau at 29{terms of Mars}:devil: degrees, will she eventually eventually become moral conscious?

I mean she appears anything but into morality in the Judeo-Christian standard and I think she having her lord of the 7th in terms of mars:devil: is most likely into making her own rules and defying any moral precepts!

We all know studying astrology that there are many potential relationships shown in the aspects between two, thus that is a factor why so many extra marital affairs are made, yet one's moral nature is exhibited by their 9th house make-up and that of Jupiter who is the natural ruler of the 9th.

But I question why she is as she is and with the mutable cross will she make needed changes in order to have a traditional union?:rightful:

there are lots of other faiths and philosophies in the world, Hindu, buddhisms practiced by billions. we are so western centric.
They to, embrace astrology, much more than western societies and the ideologies that go with the west.
