Ninth house

Ninth house Higher education, long journeys, religion, philosophy... 

North Node in the ninth house/South Node in the third You tend to run around in a frenzy, gossiping and accumulating facts rather than ideas. Broaden your horizons by pursuing large ideas and philosophies. Higher education and world travel benefit you. Playing Sudoku doesn t. Don t get lost in trivial pursuits. Expand your mind. 

Mercury in the ninth house You re fortified by ideas, motivated by philosophy, stimulated by the forces of the intellect, and happy to explore the world.

To observe this in real life, take a look at novelist Toni Morrison s chart (see Chapter 16). She doesn t have every one of the characteristics listed above. Then again, no one does. But her Mercury is conjunct her Midheaven Venus, the ruler of her Ascendant, is in the ninth house of publication conjunct Saturn two planets are in the third house (with one more knocking at the gate) and Neptune, the planet of the imagination, is located in the fifth house of creativity. By becoming a writer, she fulfilled the potential of her chart.
