Neptune in the 9th House ***************************************************************** Given Neptune's idealistic, spiritual and sensitive energy, it is rather well-placed in this house of philosophy, religion, higher education, and travel. If you possess an open and malleable spirit, you will have lively powers of imagination and an interest in things concerning the broadest horizons of human nature. If you feel that you could be considerably more than you are now, you should initiate the necessary course that will allow you to fully develop your latent talents and abilities. However, be careful not to abandon yourself too much to a philosophy, religion, cult, or guru since you may be tempted to give up your personality and possessions too rashly. Much of your development will center around tapping into Neptune's higher vibrations in order to gain spiritual wisdom. This could involve meditation and constructive channeling of your abilities. If Neptune is adversely influenced by other planets, you could be extravagant, tend to exaggerate-even be a religious fanatic. This would indicate that you are content with the security of a single belief system and do not want to change. Your intentions about life are noble, but somehow, you may not always be able to put them into practice. Study may be difficult because you are easily confused or distracted. You feel deeply disappointed if a course of study does not match up to your high ideals, although there is often an illusion about the course in the first place. When traveling, you may tend to wander because you have no itinerary. It is possible that you travel somewhere only to discover that the place does not match up to your expectations. A well-influenced Neptune will negate much of the aforementioned challenges. It will allow you to take advantage of further education and deepen your philosophical knowledge through travel. You may discover spiritual links with a country other than that of your homeland. Perhaps there is a preference to journey by ship or boat.
