This house is the gateway to exploration, higher learning, and broadening your horizons. Often called the House of Philosophy, it governs your quest for knowledge, spiritual beliefs, and long-distance travel. The sign on the cusp of your 9th House provides insights into how you seek wisdom, your attitude towards adventure and discovery, and your approach to understanding the world.

With an intuitive grasp of concepts and symbols, you are naturally receptive to faith or higher thinking, responding instinctively to what the conscious mind may struggle to grasp. Your beliefs and world-view may fluctuate with time and according to how you are feeling.

An emotional yearning for travel or to find your spiritual home may inspire your explorations and you might feel more at home when traveling the world than when actually at home. Philosophical contemplation and higher learning also bring a sense of belonging and emotional security.
