Article 317

Just like the eighth house, ninth house of a horoscope is also a very resourceful house and accordingly it carries great significance in defining the overall tone of a horoscope. Ninth house of a horoscope directly relates to the good karmas as well as bad karmas gathered by us, as well as those gathered by our ancestors and accordingly it can create a luck factor which is either good luck or bad luck for the native under its influence, depending on the good or bad karmas gathered by the native as well as his ancestors. Retrograde Jupiter placed in the ninth house of a horoscope can bless the native under its influence with good results in almost any sphere of his life including marriage, profession, children, education, fame and spiritual progress, if it is working positive in the horoscope. Accordingly, different natives benefitting from this benefic influence may witness good results where such good results can vary in type as well as in quantum depending on the type and strength of this benefic placement, as well as depending on the overall tone of the horoscopes of these natives.

Benefic retrograde Jupiter in the ninth house of a horoscope can bless the native with very good education, especially higher education and accordingly some native benefitting from this influence may receive education up to high, very high or even up to the highest levels, depending on their overall horoscopes. For example, the presence of benefic retrograde Jupiter in the ninth house of a horoscope in the sign of Libra can bless the native with special abilities like intelligence, good memory, good understanding and other such abilities. Accordingly the native under this benefic influence may perform well at studies right from the start and he may be known as a bright student right from his early age. If benefic Rahu or benefic Venus is placed in the fourth house of the same horoscope in the sign of Taurus, the benefits received by the native under the combined influence of these benefic planets may increase further and accordingly the native may perform even better at studies.

Such native may pursue his education to a high or very high level, under the combined effect of such benefic retrograde Jupiter in the ninth house of his horoscope and let’s say benefic Rahu in the fourth house of his horoscope. It means that this native may specialize in some subject and he may obtain a degree of Masters in that subject or he may even achieve an academic degree of higher level, if the overall horoscope is supportive. For instance, the presence of benefic Sun or benefic Mercury in the fifth house of the same horoscope in the sign of Gemini can further improve this equation and accordingly the native under the combined effect of these benefic planets may pursue his education to the highest possible level, which means that he may earn a degree of doctorate in some subject or some other degree of the highest order relevant to a subject.

Benefic retrograde Jupiter in the ninth house of a horoscope can also bless the native with professional success and accordingly some natives under this benefic influence may achieve different type and different amount of professional success through different professional fields, depending on the type and strength of this benefic influence as well as depending on the overall tone of the horoscopes of these natives. Some natives under this benefic influence may become successful teachers after completing their studies on very high or even on the highest level in a subject and they may start teaching that subject. For example, the presence of benefic retrograde Jupiter in the ninth house of a horoscope in the sign of Libra as mentioned in the previous example, can not only bless the native with top class education on a very high level, but such benefic influence can also bless the native with the profession of a successful teacher in the same subject.

Accordingly the native under the benefic influence of such positive retrograde Jupiter in the ninth house of his horoscope may become a teacher in a well reputed college or university, after completing his studies in some subject. If benefic Sun is present in the tenth house of the same horoscope in the sign of Scorpio, the native under the combined effect of such benefic retrograde Jupiter and benefic Sun may become a successful and well recognized teacher who may earn very good amount of respect among his students as well as among his colleagues by virtue of his very good grasp on the subject he teaches. If benefic Mars or benefic Mercury is also present in the ninth house of the same horoscope in the sign of Libra, the native under the combined influence of these benefic planets may also write books on the subject of his specialization. Such native may receive much appreciation and even some formal award for one or more than one of his book.

Benefic retrograde Jupiter in the ninth house of a horoscope can also render certain special abilities related to the fields of spiritualism, paranormal and other such fields, to the native under its influence. Accordingly some natives benefitting from this benefic placement may take interest in study and research related to the fields like spiritualism, astrology, numerology, religious studies and other such fields. If the overall horoscope of a native having such benefic influence in the ninth house of his horoscope is supportive, such native may make a career choice in one of these professions and he may achieve success and fame through one such field. For example, the presence of benefic retrograde Jupiter in the ninth house of a horoscope in the sign of Scorpio can make the native interested in faiths like astrology, meditation techniques for healing, yoga for healing physical as well as mental issues and other such faiths.

Hence the native under such benefic influence may engage in study and research related to one such faith or more than one such faith and he may take up such faith as a full time profession, if the overall horoscope of the native is supportive. For example, the presence of benefic Mercury in the eighth house of the same horoscope in the sign of Libra can improve this equation and the native under the combined effect of such benefic retrograde Jupiter and benefic Mercury may start practicing as an astrologer, a yoga teacher, a teacher who teaches meditation techniques or any other such type of teacher. Such native may achieve good amount of success, income, fame and recognition through his profession and he may keep achieving more and more with the passage of time. If benefic Rahu, benefic Moon or benefic Sun is placed in the first house of the same horoscope, the native under the combined effect of these benefic planets may achieve even more success and fame through such profession.

Looking at more possibilities in the same example, if benefic Mars is placed in the ninth house of the same horoscope in the sign of Scorpio, along with benefic retrograde Jupiter in the same house, the equation may improve further and the native may benefit even more. Such native under the combined effect of all these benefic planets may achieve success and fame on national level through one of these fields and he may also earn very good amount of money through his profession. The native under the combined effect of these benefic planets may also write some books on his subject and he may also appear on some television shows dealing with his subject of specialization. As more and more positive variables add to this equation, the native under the combined effect of such benefic retrograde Jupiter and other benefic planets in various houses of his horoscope may achieve even more success and fame through one such profession.

Some natives under this influence may take a slightly different path and they may choose to make a career choice in some field related to the study, practice and teaching of some religion or some religious faith and accordingly they may learn and preach the teachings of different religious faiths on different levels, depending on the type and strength of this benefic placement, as well as depending on the overall tone of the horoscopes of these natives. For example, the presence of benefic retrograde Jupiter in the ninth house of a horoscope in the sign of Taurus can motivate the native to choose a line of profession related to some type of practice belonging to some religion or some religious faith and accordingly such native may become a priest in some temple, a teacher in some religious institute or he may engage in some other type of practice related to some religious faith.

If benefic Moon is also present in the ninth house of the same horoscope in the sign of Taurus, the type of post achieved by this native and the quantum of success received by this native can increase many times. Accordingly, the native under the combined effect of such benefic retrograde Jupiter and benefic Moon in the ninth house of his horoscope in the sign of Taurus can become the head of a branch of some religious organization or he may become a head priest in some well established temple. Such native may possess a good amount of authority and many people may respect and follow him by virtue of such post of authority, as well as by virtue of the kind of knowledge and character possessed by him, due to the combined effect of these benefic planets. Since Moon is exalted in the sign of Taurus, the presence of benefic Moon along with benefic retrograde Jupiter in the sign of Taurus will not only enhance the working of Moon, but it will also provide extra strength to benefic retrograde Jupiter and accordingly, much better results may be witnessed by the native under such influences.

The presence of benefic Mercury in the fifth house of the same horoscope in the sign of Capricorn or in the eleventh house of the same horoscope in the sign of Cancer can further make this equation better and accordingly the native under the effect of these three benefic planets may achieve much more, through one such professional field. The native under the combined effect of such benefic retrograde Jupiter, benefic Moon and benefic Mercury may achieve even more success, fame and recognition and he may become the head of a very big branch of a religious organization or he may hold a post of high authority in the state body of a religious organization which operates on national or international level. If the overall horoscope of the native is supportive, he may even become the head of an entire state unit of a big religious organization or mission.

Let’s now make a small change to this equation and see how the results can change. If benefic retrograde Jupiter is present in the ninth house of a horoscope in the sign of Taurus along with benefic Moon, and benefic Mercury is placed in the twelfth or eighth house of the same horoscope, say in the twelfth house of this horoscope in the sign of Leo, the field of profession chosen by the native may further change, though it may remain within the similar type of lines. The native under the combined effect of these benefic planets may follow the path of direct spiritualism and instead of practicing in some religious organization, he may get a post of high authority and responsibility in the state body of a spiritual organization, or he may even become the head of a spiritual organization.

Such native may have a good number of followers and he may himself achieve very good progress in the field of spiritualism. If benefic Rahu is present in the eighth house of the same horoscope in the sign of Aries or if it is present in the tenth house of the same horoscope in the sign of Gemini, the native under the combined effect of these benefic influences may start some spiritual mission or organization of his own. Such native may teach the techniques of meditation and other such techniques and methods which can help people achieve more and more spiritual growth. The combined effect of these benefic planets can render more and more success and fame to the native, and if benefic Venus is present in the eleventh house of the same horoscope in the sign of Cancer, the native may become a spiritual Guru of national fame and his fame may even spread to foreign countries also.

Benefic retrograde Jupiter in the ninth house of a horoscope can bless the native under its influence with good results in marriage also and accordingly some natives under this benefic influence may witness such good results where the type and quantum of these good results may vary from native to native depending on the type and strength of this benefic placement, as well as depending on the overall tone of the horoscope of a native in question. Some natives under this benefic influence may get married to someone hailing from a foreign country and they may get settled in that foreign country by virtue of their marriages. These natives may witness a good amount of rise in their standard of living as well as in their financial status after such settlement in a foreign country and they may also enjoy a very good marriage, provided their overall horoscope allows it.

For example, the presence of benefic retrograde Jupiter in the ninth house of a horoscope in the sign of Cancer can get the native married to someone belonging to a foreign country and accordingly the native under this benefic influence may get married to someone from a foreign country. If there are other benefic influences in the horoscope of this native, like if benefic Venus is placed in ninth, tenth, seventh or twelfth house of his horoscope, the native under the combined effect of these two benefic planets may get settled in that foreign country by virtue of his marriage. Such a combination of benefic retrograde Jupiter and benefic Venus can also bless the native with good professional results, good financial status, good overall results and a very good marriage. The fortune of such native may suddenly rise after his marriage and accordingly he may witness more and more good things happening to him after his marriage. As more positive planets add to this equation, the good results received by such native may increase in number as well as in quantum.

But all is not well with this placement of benefic retrograde Jupiter in the ninth house of a horoscope and such Jupiter can cause problems in almost every sphere of a native’s life, if it turns malefic in a horoscope. Accordingly many natives under the malefic influence of this placement may have to witness bad results in many spheres of their lives including profession, marriage, children and overall well being, where the type and quantum of results received by different natives under this bad influence may be different depending on the type and strength of this malefic placement, as well as depending on the overall tone of the horoscopes of these natives. Professional sphere of the native is the first sphere which can be hit hard if malefic retrograde Jupiter is placed in the ninth house of a horoscope and accordingly some natives under this malefic influence may have to suffer on their professional fronts, in one way or the other.

These problems can increase in number as well as in quantum, if such malefic retrograde Jupiter placed in the ninth house of a horoscope forms Pitra Dosh in the horoscope. It should be noted that the mere presence of a malefic planet in the ninth house of a horoscope is not sufficient on its own to form Pitra Dosh in the horoscope, and it has to have certain minimum level of activity in order to form such Pitra Dosh and in order to actively do damages of higher levels. Moving on, if such malefic retrograde Jupiter forms Pitra dosh in the ninth house of horoscope, the native may feel the heat of this defect in many spheres of his life, depending on the type and strength of this placement as well as depending on the overall tone of his horoscope.

For example, Pitra Dosh formed by the presence of malefic retrograde Jupiter in the ninth house of a horoscope in the sign of Capricorn can trouble the native on the front of his profession as well as on the front of this marriage. Accordingly the native suffering from this defect may have to face problems when it comes to get good professional success and also when it comes to get married at proper time and enjoy a good marriage. However, this malefic placement is not capable of causing damages on a big scale as Jupiter is debilitated in the sign of Capricorn and accordingly the Pitra Dosh formed by such debilitated Jupiter may not be very strong and hence the problems caused by it may also be of low intensity. It means that though such native may experience delays when it comes to find a well paying job or a good profession, he may still be able to find one after some delay.

Similarly, the other problems faced by this native like low incomes from his profession and less overall professional growth may also bother him from time to time but even these problems are not likely to go beyond a certain point, as Pitra Dosh formed by such debilitated retrograde Jupiter is weak. However, if there are some other malefic planets present in the horoscope, which contribute to the malefic effect initiated by such Pitra Dosh, the equation can change and the native may have to suffer much more on the front of his profession. For example, the presence of malefic Rahu or malefic Ketu along with Saturn in almost any house of this horoscope can provide more strength to this defect and accordingly the native may have to struggle more in order to establish himself professionally and he may also have to suffer from many other problems in his professional sphere.

This is due to the fact that the affliction of malefic Rahu or Ketu to Saturn in this horoscope will reduce the strength of Saturn and since Saturn is the lord of the ninth house of this horoscope, double Pitra Dosh will be formed in the horoscope due to such affliction. The first Pitra Dosh is formed due to the malefic influence of negative retrograde Jupiter in the ninth house of this horoscope whereas the second Pitra Dosh is formed due to affliction of malefic Rahu or Ketu to Saturn in the horoscope, since any affliction to the planetary lord of ninth house in a horoscope also forms Pitra Dosh in that horoscope, according to the definition of this defect. Hence the native in this case will suffer from double Pitra Dosh and the combined effect of these malefic influences can make it even more difficult to achieve success through his profession.

Investigating this matter further, since Saturn is the lord of tenth house also in this horoscope, as the sign of Aquarius falls in the tenth house of this horoscope and Saturn is the planetary lord of Aquarius, the problem related to the professional sphere of the native may intensify even more. In this case, the lord of ninth house as well as the lord of tenth house of this horoscope is suffering from multiple afflictions through malefic retrograde Jupiter as well as through malefic Rahu or Ketu. Accordingly the native may find it very hard to even get a permanent profession as the house of profession which is the tenth house is afflicted and at the same time, the house of luck which is the ninth house is also afflicted. It means difficulty in finding a well paying or permanent profession due to afflicted lord of tenth house and it also means that even the luck factor of this native may not support him since the lord of ninth house of this horoscope is also afflicted by virtue of presence of malefic retrograde Jupiter in this house.

Hence the native may find it very hard to establish himself professionally and he may have to remain jobless many times in his life, for periods of some months or even for periods of some years, due to the combined effect of such malefic influences in his horoscope. If another malefic planet joins this combination, the problems of this native may further intensify, like the presence of malefic Sun in the sixth house of this horoscope in the sign of Libra can spell even more troubles for the native. The Sun is malefic, placed in sixth house and it is debilitated at the same time, which means even more troubles and accordingly the native may not be able to establish himself professionally, throughout his life, unless there are some really good combinations present in his horoscope which promote profession.

For instance, the presence of benefic Mercury in the tenth house of the same horoscope in the sign of Aquarius can still bless the native with a profession and if benefic Moon also joins benefic Mercury in the tenth house of this horoscope, the equation may improve even further. Such native may have to lose his job many times due to the combined effect of such malefic planets, but he may find another job soon after losing one job, due to the combined effect of such benefic Mercury and benefic Moon in the tenth house of his horoscope. If benefic Venus is placed in the fourth house of this horoscope, in the sign of Leo, the equation may become even better and accordingly the native may face even fewer problems in his professional sphere. It should be noted that the net luck of a native and the possibility of anything good or bad happening to a native is the resultant of the interaction of so many good as well as bad influences in his horoscope, and as more and more such influences change, the net luck factor of the native also changes, which means different results can be experienced by the native.
