Doux, it's so interesting they have so much ninth house. This house must really be the religious one! I have a lot going on in twelfth and I am much more mystical than religious. In ninth, people tend to get more out of being with others who are as religious as they are.

Exactly. No need to be obsessed w/ religious people when you aren't even religious yourself. LOL. I'm not an athiest, but I am not obsessed with them either. IP: Logged |

I have 9th house planets. Not religious.The charts doux posted are very interesting. 1st chart: 2nd house Sagittarius means self-worth based on belief system. could be a sign of being religious. 2nd chart: 3rd house Sagittarius. Talks about belief system. Mars on 9th house. Sounds like someone who would preach religion nonstop. Sounds like a certain Libra rising here... oh god the irony. IP: Logged |

I would think the atheist would have a lot of action in the empirical signs that trust their five senses and rely more on what they consider science, although science is far from explaining how the universe works. Atheists tend to believe they know everything when in fact they know very little. An atheist does not want to admit he is limited in his ability to perceive. Instead he mocks those who believe there is more to living organisms than just their five senses. They could have a sixth sense, perhaps. Many animals have this but for some reason, atheists insist humans are not allowed theirs. I consider them to be more dogmatic and narrow minded. The difference is, they often do not try to inflict their will upon others by interfering in matters of state and forcing their policies on others. What they do insist on is following the constitution and it clearly states this is not a theocracy and we should be objective in policy making, not cater to a specific religious group. IP: Logged |

Starlight,Unfortunately, the second chart's houses are not accurate, although they seem to make a lot of sense... What I notice, is indeed usually a planet, or a Node in the 9th house. In the first chart, which is accurate, Jupiter conjuncts the South Node in the 9th house, unafflicted. Venus is technically in the 9th, conjuncting the MC, squaring Pluto on the ASC - that person shows their belief to the world, they don't hide it, and they pursue it intensely because it's a personal thing for them (Venus sq. Pluto - intense focus). In the second chart, looking at the aspects, Jupiter opposes the Moon/Neptune conjunction, making religion a personal/emotional thing (Moon) but very distorted by personal bias (Neptune, Scorpio - paranoia, dark ideas about others). Jupiter, the Moon and Neptune are all connected to Pluto by easy aspect, making it quite easy to focus on that topic and maybe even become quite obsessed with it. The Saturn opposition to Pluto/Uranus and the square to Mars shows the external conflict the person is faced with due to their fixation on religion, which alienates them from others and drives others away, making them feel frustrated, abandoned and misunderstood - which further amplifies their focus on religion and the "badness" of others. I suppose there's some 9th house activity in the chart for sure, even though I don't know the TOB. In my mother's chart (I wouldn't call her a "religious zealot" for sure, but she's quite into religion), she has Saturn conjunct the South Node in the 9th, sextile Moon and trine Venus - again, religion is made personal (Moon) and has an attractive quality (trine to Venus).

Best response in this entire thread. BOOM!!! *drops mic* BTW - I have Moon & Chiron in the 9th. Neptune in the 3rd. IP: Logged |

I'm not going to state my beliefs. If you think it's obvious to you, don't think. You don't know. :P I find zealous religious people and zealous atheists to be equally annoying. I always think, if it's something that you believe, it's in your heart. Don't talk too much, BE the living example of what you believe. Live it and that should be all that you need. It was bound to stir up some trouble. It's a reason why it's not allowed to be discussed at many work places. People kill for that kind of thing. I wish you all peace. Astrologically... Hmmmm... is Jupiter associated with religious beliefs? Or do I have that wrong? My Jupiter is 8th, Taurus. Moon Gemini, 9th. Sun Leo, 11th. Anyway, I'm going to run away from this thread now. LOL It's getting ugly. I have better things to do.

Doux - I know somebody with moon conjunct Neptune in Scorpio and although they have never been fanatical about religion, they do have some dark, distorted ideas about others that are not necessarily true, and paranoia. You described this particular combination perfectly!IP: Logged |

Yes, it's the dogma from both sides, DeepFreeze, that rubs us moderates the wrong way. I respect Christians who follow the words of Jesus, not His followers, and remove the thorns from their eyes so they can see the loveliness intended in Jesus's teachings. It was never about judging. And I have extraordinary respect for Jesus who I see as a true maverick, someone who was doing things that were virtually unheard of at the time. He reached out to others in a way no one else did. It took guts and courage. IP: Logged |

Personally I'm not really an atheist. if anything I guess i would be a "pagan". I think in my past life I had bad experiences with Christianity and islam... I was probably burt at a stake or stoned. Judaism I'm not as weirded out by...I don't think Cappy is an atheist, I think she believes in past lives etc. The most religious person I know has retro jupiter conjunct Pluto in the 9th house.

I would describe myself as agnostic and mystically inclined. I believe there is more to the universe than meets the eye. Not sure what, exactly. I am willing to admit I do not know all there is to know about what's out there. I have 12th house Libran Mercuy/Jupiter/Uranus/Pluto, all conjunct more or less. Libra is a fairly empirical sign (due to Saturn.) I suspect many Librans are moderate about religion, perhaps agnostic. It has been said agnostics are classic fence setters who are wishy-washy and do not wish to take sides. They are neutral, like Switzerland. IP: Logged |

"Looking up the definition" would involve putting "religious" at the end of what I quoted. What was your point again? To call me a zealot for noticing your ridiculous, over-the-top response to Cappy's thread? Like a you know what, because you're not stupid and you can read. IP: Logged |

Oh look! The Oxford! I'm so impressed! Yes, "fanatical and uncompromising" would describe a zealot, though you probably consider it a compliment for some reason.

i like your analysis', you raise a thread a few bars simply by being on it even when it got so low & pathetic. i have moon conj neptune although in SAG opposite jupiter. i have a religious sensibility without being religious exactly. don't know how to explain it but i invest very strongly in narratives. including paranoia. and on the breakdown of friendships, or other life path decisions, i feel a very strong rupturing from the narrative more so than the tangible things. for example, i'd believe a certain connection or situation gave my whole life meaning. it's the meaning where the situation has weight for me.

I agree with the placements in empirical signs -virgo, cap, taurus I disagree about atheists being people who don't want to admit their limitations. Lots of atheists are spiritual - they might not believe in god but might say believe in Karma. Other societies have very different religious orientation from America. America is a very religious country. I think atheists want to acknowledge that they will never know how certain events occur and they refuse to attribute them to a god. Some atheists believe in aliens and all types if other forces. Some atheists can be categorized as zealots (those posting billboards with pictures mocking Santa Claus for example). Preaching the belief in nature and other forces sis a type if religious orientation. I dislike the fact that people think atheism isn't a type of belief.

Starlight & florence, thanks.I think I can see what you mean, florence. Not sure but it resonates with me a little. I have Neptune/Uranus in 9H sextile Sun. I'm not averse to religion or spirituality, quite the contrary. IP: Logged |

Atheists are obnoxious, for the most part, the prick for the sake of being one types. I grew up in church and really liked going when young. I think that's where I get my Christian sensibility, from that upbringing. It was instilled in me so I have that approach to life, do unto others type of approach. IP: Logged |
