Astrology By:
Jade Emory The 9th house
of the birth chart shows our belief systems.
Religions are the sacred side of the 9th house;
philosophies are the secular side. Placements
situated here offer options for growth in spiritual consciousness. ARIES or Mars
needs a path that elicits joyous enthusiasm and which eliminates anger.
Aries applies its beliefs through social activism instead of merely
theorizing. Sacred drumming
stirs its soul. TAURUS or Venus
responds to divinity, manifested as nature, honoring the Creator in
creation. Devotional music
and inspired art add to its reverence. GEMIMI or Mercury
finds that the best form in which to worship God is every form. Sacred
mantras, affirmations and the elimination of duality strengthen devotion. CANCER or the Moon
needs a path that is psychologically applicable to the resolution of
emotional concerns. The sanctity of earth itself offers Cancer spiritual
energy. LEO or the Sun
seeks a path that cultivates both passion and compassion of its generous
heart. It must avoid
spiritual pride. VIRGO finds that the
grace of God works as healing. Subtle, spiritual connections with animals
are valuable. A pure diet may
be part of its spiritual discipline. LIBRA cultivates a
personal connection with the divine and with attained masters, the essence
of a true guru-disciple relationship.
The primary purpose of its path is inner peace and an ethical life. SCORPIO or Pluto
has the strength and commitment to purify its character through the
teachings of its belief system. SAGITARIUS or
Jupiter considers its belief system top priority.
Rather than saving its devotions for sabbath, it consciously
commits to daily application of its path’s teachings, so that it becomes
a consistent expression of God’s love. CAPRICORN or
Saturn honors olden traditions that have stood the test of time.
Powerfully self-disciplined, it trains its mind to respond rather
than react. AQUARIUS or Uranus
explores theologies of different cultures.
Seeking freedom from ego, it cultivates dispassion and
non-attachment as expressions of spiritual attainment.
The next 2000 years, the Aquarian Age, will teach us to
universalize love inclusively. PISCES or Neptune
finds that meditation unites it with the divine, and from the validity of
that mystical experience, reorients its understanding of its higher self.
During the last 2000 years, the Piscean Age, forgiveness, mercy and
tolerance were emphasized. Jade Emory holds degrees in psychology and education, has taught internationally at the university level and has been a counselor since 1970. She can reached at 808-429-2411 jadeemoryhawaii@yahoo.com |
