Having circled the planet and found no shelter, you move into the celestial spheres. For this, the problem of the ideal “I” stands very sharply for a person, since it is through this ideal that the will of karma is transmitted to them. In other words, a person must obey the command of their ideal, but most importantly—they must actively shape it according to the guidance of their higher “I” using the material of their reality. A precisely found ideal will be a real force that changes not only a person’s behavior and way of thinking but also the entire environment around them. In processing this position of the Sun, it can give spiritual teachers whose word (and deed) means a great deal and shapes the ideal “I” in others; however, the person must take the problem of forming their ideal very seriously (which may differ greatly from the corresponding social cliché) and realize their dependence on it, something that rarely happens in the first half of life. This person’s fate is travel to distant lands and foreign cultures, and accordingly, a constant expansion of consciousness; and although the travels may not occur in the physical body but mentally, they will truly transport the person into a completely different reality filled with many mysteries, the unknown, and the unknowable that must be discovered and translated into a language comprehensible in their homeland. However, they will often have great difficulty feeling a sense of homeland, especially if the Sun is afflicted. Sometimes it will seem to them that their homeland is not in the country where they were born, and not even on Earth, and that they were sent to Earth as if on a business trip. Esoterically speaking, this person is subject to a high egregore and must comprehend (and sometimes even shape) the ideals of people living under certain lower egregores, with which fate brings them together. The main karmic task of this Sun position is to understand spiritual truths and master foreign cultures—exactly what the person must do will be shown by the aspects of the Sun or its dispositor.
Indubala. Planets in Houses. (Indian Tradition)
This is an influential or strong person, partly reckless and prone to extremes in behavior. The earnings of these people are connected with the transportation of goods, creativity, or religion. They enjoy travel, are interested in politics, and are usually ambitious. They suffer due to conflicts with the state or the opposite sex.

Conceptual structures. If the Sun is in the 9th house, then the essence of your life’s purpose is to reveal new spheres and spaces of life to your mind. You came to Earth to expand mental horizons, to develop, explore, and seek the philosophy of life. Each time you mentally open up, you connect to the cosmos. Existence at the highest ethical level available to you creates an influx of vital energy. It is not enough for you to recognize and accept existing philosophical views; you must synthesize everything you know into an original system, a personal philosophy that can become the foundation of your life. The pitfalls are soaring too high into the clouds of abstraction and, as a result, losing touch with the reality of life on Earth. Understanding the mysteries of the universe means little if you cannot remember your zip code. The task is to combine a fascination with abstract thinking with the discipline of a moral life and to pass on this wisdom to all who can be spiritually strengthened by it. Perspective in the realm of culture. Reading books about distant lands, reflecting on them, traveling to explore these worlds—this is a natural way of life for you. The sense of exploration is fundamental; it can be physical, mental, emotional, or spiritual. The more deeply you study the lives of other cultures, especially firsthand, the more fully your core life purpose is realized. You find yourself when you travel to other worlds. This is not only travel to distant lands but also the most diverse “excursions” into your own backyard. The task is to assimilate the breadth of people’s worldviews, to be like a “weaver” of the single world of humanity. Higher education. You burn with a desire to learn. It is unknown how you studied in elementary school, but it can be said with confidence that you will become a “perpetual student” in the best sense of the word. You are especially drawn to conceptual fields of knowledge. You can study them independently or in institutes, universities, and other formal educational structures, because for you, not only knowledge but also diplomas are important. Understand everything you can, and then pass this knowledge on to others. The search for truth. The Sun’s position in the 9th house emphasizes, more than the position of other planets in the 9th house, the very subtle difference between profound and pragmatic truths. What is significant for you is the absence of lies. There are two kinds of lies. The first is active lying, that is, believing in objective falsity or conveying it to others. Of course, this kind of experience is negative for you. It disconnects you from your divinity. But equally harmful is passive lying—such as concealing the truth or replacing it with something of lesser significance. This serious pitfall weakens you. It is extremely important for you to seek the highest truth and convey it to other people under any circumstances. You do not need perfect expression of the truth, nor even its comprehensive understanding by others. Your task is to strive for honesty, integrity, and enlightenment. Truth is life. The ideal society. Your perfect society is like Olympus. People are like the gods of ancient myths; their wisdom and nobility permeate an inexhaustible stream of creativity. Your deepest desire is to be able to reach agreement on any issue, and people of this society perfectly possess this skill. As ruler of the world, you would be powerful but magnanimous; mighty but merciful; noble and majestic, yet always admitting your mistakes to your subjects.
