The seventh house lord in the ninth house

The 7th house is related to marriage, the spouse, relationships outside the family, business partnerships, the people we attract, fame and popularity.

The 9th house is related to long-distance travel, higher education, religion, culture, belief systems, teachers, scriptures, books, the father’s teachings and luck.

In general, if the 7th house lord is in the 9th house, the spouse would be well educated, well travelled, from a different cultural background and could work in academia. You might meet your spouse during college, on a trip to a faraway place or online, which brings different cultures together like a tourist destination. Since the 7th lord sits three places away, the relationship would depend on active communication; a lack of communication would lead to misunderstandings. Lastly, the connection between an angular house, the 7th, and a trine house, the 9th, means the spouse would bring considerable good fortune. Let’s dive a bit deeper.
