The 9 th House

धर्मं भाग्यामधो स्यालम भ्रात्रुपत्न्यादिकम  स्थाधा !
थिर्थयात्रदिकाम्सर्वं धर्मास्थानान्निरीक्षयेत !

In the above sloka on the Dharma sthana or the 9 th house Maharshi Parashara says the matters that are to be seen from the house.

He says 9th house has to be seen for the righteousness of the native along with luck, wife of brother,and piligrimage.

It is our practice that we see for father from the 9th house.But parasara says it is the 10th house from which father has to be seen in the horoscope.

9th  house is considered the most beneficial house being the most powerful of the trines (Konas) namely 1st,5th and 9th.

On a study of some other authors we can conclude, the house signifies Luck,divine grace,wisdom one's spiritual path,religion,philosophy,teachers and gurus,progress and travel in a broader sense.

Some more observations:

Lagna lord in 9th house denotes that the native will settle in a foreign country for a beneficial living.

The lord of the 9th house if associated with the 10th lord or house, results in a very powerful rajayoga If none of them have afflictions.

The 9th house denotes purva punya which is carried over into the current life.

The house is also one of the apoklimas which means it is a mutable(changeable) house.Being classified as a mutable house it comes under a weak category of houses.As 9th house is the 12th from 10th house it denotes breaks in one's profession.
