Jupiter in the 9th House
  ******************** 

  In mythology, Metis was the Goddess of Wisdom and the first wife of Zeus. When 
  she was carrying Athena, Zeus received a prophecy that he would be deposed by a 
  child of Metis. To elude this fate he engorged Metis, together with the unborn Athena. 
  As a result, Zeus assimilated the highest wisdom. He later gave "birth" to Athena (not 

  coincidentally, she was the result of a splitting headache and sprang fully clothed 
  from his head), becoming not only one of his favorite children, but also the new 
  Goddess of Wisdom.  
   
  This story tells much about the way in which Jupiter expresses itself in the ninth 


  house. You like to integrate philosophical and spiritual knowledge and pass it on to 
  others. You may possess the wisdom to see reason and meaning in almost 
  unbearable suffering. You will not rest until you have discovered the laws and 
  wisdom upon which you can further your own spiritual pilgrimage through life. If you 
  can avoid the temptation to lock yourself up inside of abstract thoughts, you will be 
  able to inspire others with your farsightedness and opinions. You see travel and 
  higher education as an opportunity for raising your level of consciousness and for 
  finding meaning in life. If you have always dreamed of undertaking a great journey, 
  you should take heart and follow this dream. A job in the travel industry would suit 
  you, although you would also be well-placed as a teacher, in the judiciary, or in 
  advertising.  
   
  Many lecturers and philosophers have this placement, although it is not the only 
  placement. Should Jupiter receive some challenging planetary aspects, your 
  inclinations may be the same but generally unfulfilled. In such cases, try to balance 
  your life through understanding and meditation.
