9th house in Pisces

Venice. This person is drawn to softness, tenderness, love, warmth, understanding, sensitivity, romanticism, attention to others’ suffering and experiences, adaptability and the ability to adjust. He dislikes harshness, intolerance, dull enthusiasm, backwardness, straightforwardness, earthiness, cold and practical reasoning. Here, relationships with the ideal of the “self” risk becoming overly soft, and the recommendations themselves may be slightly distorted by the lower nature. Then, understanding turns into indulgence, is replaced by self-love, adaptability, and lack of conscience, while empathy degenerates into demagoguery with a hint of vampirism. On the other hand, a manipulator, appealing to this person’s ideal, can enslave them completely if the individual does not defend their exclusive right to shape their own ideal, as it is not easy to discern their core in the ideal, and it is even harder to receive unambiguous answers to concrete life questions. Here, the ideal can be either too high or too low, and one must avoid both extremes, as well as the temptation of strong self-deception with the slightest inattention to oneself. The expansion of consciousness occurs through a shift in the spectrum of emotions, as well as changes in emotional reactions to the same situations, unlike, for example, the 9th house in air signs, where the nature of mental perception and the mental picture of the world changes. What once moved one to tears and held attention now barely affects or not at all, while what was previously invisible now strongly resonates. In the case of affliction of Pisces, this may be accompanied by crises, hysterics, and attempts to deceive oneself and others into believing that nothing has changed. In the harmonious variant, everything happens almost imperceptibly, and then suddenly it turns out that a new person has been born. A spiritual teacher can have a great influence on a person; the emotional and existential connection is likely to be very strong, though its external expression is often not obvious. Distant lands attract and excite; the person immerses themselves in foreign cultures fully and adapts to them surprisingly quickly, especially with harmonious Pisces. In the case of affliction, adaptation is painful and can lead to emotional stress. General karmic instructions come from the depths of the soul and in a very quiet voice, which can only be heard by calming one’s feelings and muffling the eternal cry of “I!” of one’s “ego.”

Religious views play a predominant role in her life, and her faith carries a mystical hue. Insight (coming from the heavens) happily resolves her problems. She loves long sea voyages; distant lands attract her. She easily adapts to foreign cultures. Inclination toward wanderlust, lack of a single place of residence. She dislikes harshness, intolerance, dull enthusiasm, backwardness, straightforwardness, cold calculation, and tactlessness. Thanks to such an ideal of the “self,” she can easily become a victim of swindlers and manipulators. Nobility and compassion are not empty words for her. She is kind, honest, and fair, especially sensitive to anything concerning the honor and dignity of her loved ones and family. The expansion of consciousness occurs through the expansion of the spectrum of emotions. She has a deep emotional connection with a spiritual teacher, as well as later with her own students. She willingly assists others in matters of faith and in constructing a worldview. She is a good teacher and can teach her students a skill in a short time. She does not chase fame but happily reaps its fruits. Thanks to her intuition, compassion, and empathy, she often becomes a confidant of human souls. Many come to her as to a confessional. She listens attentively to everyone but carefully guards her own soul from those who pry. Relationships with her husband’s relatives are rather cool and indifferent. Inheritance from marriage will lead to a court case. She will read her karmic tasks in calls for help and compassion.
Pavel Globa. Houses in the Signs
PISCES — the search for spiritual goals and ideals, deep religiosity, fanaticism of faith. The ability to sacrifice one’s interests for the sake of an idea. The need to surround oneself with secrecy, to act quietly and discreetly. A secret religious or social activist. Hidden, underground connections abroad, with foreigners. Love for travel, missionary work. At a low level — a black teacher. The Christian egregore — mystical contact with God.
