9th House in Taurus
Avesalom Podvodny. Houses in Zodiac Signs
Egyptian pyramids. This person’s ideal of the “I” is dense, distant, slow to change and extremely reluctant to do so, at least at the initial levels of working with the 9th house. The individual appreciates qualities such as groundedness, weightiness, practicality, seriousness, stability, and calm self-assurance, and disapproves of frivolity, superficiality, empty fantasies, and inappropriate emotions in both themselves and others. The relationship with the ideal is complex; the person feels its pressure intensely, so in the case of Taurus being afflicted, there may arise a complex of not measuring up to the ideal, and sometimes attempts to destroy it, since slightly modifying it or finding a compromise proves nearly impossible. The process of working through this occurs through gradual transformation of the ideal in accordance with the demands of the higher “I,” using the material of surrounding reality. Without such work, the individual either learns to live while ignoring the ideal, or makes it extremely primitive and inapplicable to most of their life issues. Expansion of consciousness and restructuring of the worldview proceed with difficulty and take a long time, often painfully, and require very serious and clearly visible, usually entirely material causes: without substantial evidence, the person will not change (what is significant to them) their viewpoint on anything. On the other hand, once the restructuring begins, it proceeds very thoroughly, and the person who completes it is already entirely different: there will be no return to the past. Toward spiritual teachers and students, the person is serious, initially (and for a long time thereafter) highly distrustful, since they perceive interaction as important and responsible. When properly worked through, they become a diligent (possibly overly practical and limited) hardworking student and a responsible teacher who does not spare their effort and knowledge, yet is equally demanding, sometimes to the point of being tedious. Philosophical ideas appeal only when they possess a solid foundation and connection to practice; the same requirements apply to religion in its worldview aspect. General indications of karma will be given entirely on a material level, possibly (though not necessarily) through external events and circumstances that must be overcome during life or over a significant portion of it.
Houses in Signs. Oleksandr Kostovych
Her philosophy is based on all that is beautiful and practical which she creates in life. She chooses practical concepts of society and religion as guides to action and enjoys shifting her perspective on these relationships. She insists on fair treatment of finances and fairness in family relationships. In her views, she is conservative and dislikes innovations. Expansion of consciousness and restructuring of worldview proceed with difficulty and take a long time, often painfully, and require substantial material reasons. But if the restructuring occurs, there will be no return to the old. She approaches teachers and students seriously, initially very distrustfully. She likes ideas only if they are practical. Karma indications come to her through material, external events. Business connections with foreigners, travels with high-ranking individuals are possible. She may work abroad for a certain period. She strives to obtain higher education in order to achieve a stable position in life and increase her income. She displays noticeable stubbornness in defending her ideas.
Pavlo Globa. Houses in Signs
TAURUS — an unshakable value system, thoroughness in everything, immense resistance, and the capacity for revolutionary upheavals. Dreams of a fairy-tale country, wealthy and comfortable life, and prosperity. Material well-being through business connections with foreigners. Financial operations related to export and import. But the person is not a traveler. The egregore of the religion of Egypt.
