ALMUTEMMars in House 9
Mars represents your energy, your desire and the courage to act. House 9 is the house of wide horizons: long journeys, higher learning, faith and philosophy. It's the search for meaning and for a truth greater than the everyday.
The ninth house is that of long journeys, faith, religion, philosophy, and higher learning. Mars expresses itself here weakened (cadent), but brings to these matters its fervour. It inclines toward an ardent and militant faith, convictions defended with vehemence, and at times toward disputes or intransigence in matters of religion or doctrine; long journeys tend to be bold but risky, tied to campaigns, conflicts, or dangers in foreign lands. It favours the polemical spirit and the study of technical or martial matters. Dignified in its sign, it makes a champion of causes, a fearless traveller, or an incisive thinker; afflicted, it hardens into fanaticism, quarrels of faith, and grave mishaps in journeys and abroad.
