The 9th house of astrology is ‘The House of Philosophy and Travel’. The 9th house is a ‘Cadent’ house i.e. the planets have the least influence in this house. This house is followed by an angular house (the planets have the most influence). As the name suggests the 9th house deals with the expansion of one’s mind through gaining knowledge and processing it. It rules our ability to gain more knowledge on both spiritual as well as material aspects of the world. It represents our ability to understand religion, culture, politics, law etc. It represents our search for knowledge at a bigger level. While the third house signifies gaining knowledge from those around us, in the 9th house we dare to venture out into this large world for gaining knowledge and understanding things. This house also represents all the travels we undergo on our quest to expand our knowledge. It includes all kinds of travel and sightseeing.

The 9th house tells us about the following things-

  • Our curiosity towards getting to know new things.
  • Our ability to understand the knowledge that we gain.
  • Our ability to search for the knowledge that we want.
  • The travels we undergo and places that we visit in our quest to become for understanding and wise.
  • Our understanding of religion, politics, law and order, culture, spirituality and all material things of this life.
  • Expansion of our inner and outer self.
