blue moon | The 9th house always seemed to me to represent a gaggle of disparate areas - law, higher education, philosophy, foreign travel etc. Until I read a book on Druids and this provided me with handy imagery.
Druids were priests in ancient Britain, just in case you didn't know. I'd bet there is similar in other cultures. They were men of learning who trained for 20 years. They took the role of teachers, guardians of the law and genealogies, and physicians as well as being priests and prophets.
The Roman invasion killed off much of their authority and thereafter they were seen mainly as prophets and seers. Today there is something of a religious revival of druidism in a New Age style. I must say I was always rather miffed not to have any planetary action in the 9th house. I have 4 planets in the 7th house which was quite annoying for a teenage feminist. |
hippichick | The Pisces Druidess has Pluto in the 9th~~~ |
LeoCat | I have saturn in the 9th and venus conjunct my 9th house. I don't relate to my 9th house at all. I have neither dislike nor like for all things 9H related. |
LeoCat | It's funny, I used to be irritated by my planets in the 9H. I thought it was a waste of my planetary energy focusing in all the wrong areas. Why couldn't I have any planets in the 5th??? But now I'm kind of excited by them, I'm just waiting to see what happens.... |
blue moon | Thank you for humouring me. Priestess sounds more appealing that lawyer though, doesn't it?
|
hippichick | No humoring intended, that is my other screen name...and I do have Pluto in the 9th...and like him just fine there.... O, and I have studied long and hard the Druids.... |
blue moon | Oh I was just glad someone could work out what I was on about! I'm no expert on Druids but I've seen a few stone circles whilst out and about. Avebury is probably the most spine-tingling. Finding something appealing about the 2nd and 10th houses is going to be more of a challenge but I am going to have a go. |
hippichick | shhhh..... secret..... I have a mini Stone Henge ( I crafted myself) in my front yard---looking at it now, as a matter of fact... I have a deep connection to the Druids. |
amowls | My Sun & Mercury are in the 9th house. I recently met with an astrologer and she said that I had the chart of a "mystic". Cool, I guess. |
blue moon | Mine are in the 7th so I guess that means I have the chart of a housewife. The stones on Orkney got me excited as well. You can walk around them, touch them. The formation is still clearly there, and no-one has stuck a pub or a road in the middle of it or anywhere near it. http://www.orkneyjar.com/history/brodgar/
