Words of Consideration & Caution from the 9th House
While the ninth house is one that allows us to expand our minds and learn new information and meet new people who will be instrumental to our growth and expansion, there are some precautions that are associated with the 9th house as well as a sign of Sagittarius. In some cases, the ninth house as well as the sign of Sagittarius is often associated with bigotry and dogmatic thinking. Sometimes people can get so caught up in their beliefs that they decide to spread their beliefs beyond themselves. In a positive light, the ninth house and Sagittarius represents allowing other people to broaden their horizons just as we have right now. However, when the ninth house energy is abused, it can be one of the most prejudiced, narrow-minded, dogmatic placements within the natal chart. Because the information in this particular house and sign is relegated to beliefs as opposed to facts, this can create instances where people think their way is the only way. There is a tendency to become high-minded, arrogant, with the belief that they know more than other people. This position can also mark gurus and mentors who are likely to be an inspiration or a source of expansive experience for the individual. However, it is important to note that these same gurus and mentors have the potential to promote their own belief systems and encourage others to adopt them with unwavering loyalty.
Thus, is very important to remember that we all have our own personal beliefs, and it is important to realize that everyone has the right to expand their consciousness in a manner that best suits them.
