Meghan - 9th House
Here’s the ninth installment of “The Meghan Project”. in a total first, the word limit is under!!, but please still let me know what you think is most interesting … (Don’t forget to use the glossary if there are terms that are unfamiliar).
9 Ninth House
The ninth house represents life purpose, religion, culture, charity, higher knowledge and marriage. The house has mixed indications for success. Its prosperity is supported by the houselord being adult and located in an angle and with a benefic. It is also receiving rasi aspect from a benefic. But the houselord is asleep, with a malefic and inauspicious lord, not aspecting the house and defeated in planetary war.
9.1 The Person’s Life Experience
Meghan has been involved in charity work throughout her life (see previous blog post Section 2.3). She has married twice. By being a famous woman of mixed race she has inadvertently become a representative of her culture (see previous blog post section 2.4.2).
9.2 Sign
The ninth house of this chart is taking place in Pisces. Pisces is a feminine, water sign. It is the natural 12th sign of the zodiac and its symbolism relates to transcending and dissolution. It is a mutable sign and associated with moksha. This could lead Meghan to see charity work and marriage as spiritual pursuits.
9.3 Planet
Jupiter rules the 9th house. Jupiter’s qualities and placement are described in Section 6.3.
Her lifelong involvement in charity work could be attributed to Jupiter being in kumara or adult baladi avastha. This avastha indicates that the karmas related to this planet are ready to be experienced. As Jupiter is a karaka for charity and it is in the 9th house of charity, a double indication is provided here.
Jupiter is located in the 4th house indicating that marriage will be an important part of Meghan’s inner emotional world. Venus is starving Jupiter and also providing rasi aspect to the 9th house. When starved by Venus, Jupiter is co-opted in to fulfilling joy externally. This is against Jupiter’s inner-contentment nature and puts the planet under stress. This could cause Meghan to think that there is always a better marriage available. Or that if the marriage is not contributing to internal and external happiness, that there is a more satisfying option available. This dynamic could lead Meghan to put pressure on her husband to improve. Particularly as the husband (Jupiter) is located with Saturn which sees the lack in reality. But this dynamic may work well because the husband is also represented by Saturn as the 7th lord which may match with his own sense of needing improvement. (N.B. The 7th house is taking place in Capricorn the sign which epitomises improvement through hard work). One factor to keep in mind is that Saturn is defeating Jupiter in planetary war. This suggests that, if the husband can surrender to improvement, that might work very well for both parties.
9.4 Bhava Yogas
9.4.1 Ascendant Yogas
Jupiter forms a natural yoga between the 6th and 9th lords. As the 9th house is the strongest trinal house, it improves the 6th house by association. Far from linking marriage with toil, Jupiter can bring its spiritual, compassionate and philosophical perspective to the mix. This is discussed in a previous blog post (section 4.4.2) where the attraction between Meghan and Prince Harry might relate to Meghan’s compassion (Jupiter) for his life experience and her protective nature (See sections 1.4.1, 1.5.1, 2.3)
9.4.2 9th in the 4th
The ninth lord in the 4th House links a trinal lord and an angular house. But as Jupiter is low in Shad bala, challenged by Lajjitaadi avasthas and being defeated in planetary war, the indicators that appear in Meghan’s life lean more towards the negative influences. For example this bhava yoga could lead one to be supportive of the culture she was born into but with Jupiter’s state and a debilitated Mars on the ascendant, Meghan is naturally viewed as an activist ‘against’ cultural norms. That is she is a symbol or role model of fighting for (Mars) justice (Jupiter) rather than preserving the existing culture. The transition out of the royal family could also be seen in this context. Meghan’s addition to the Royal Family resulted in turmoil emotionally, residentially and culturally for her, her husband and his family. This bhava yoga can also indicate divorce of the person’s parents. Meghan’s parents divorced when she was a child.
