Mars in Ninth House
© 2000 Curtis Manwaring [ << ] [ >> ]
Mars: According to Valens, if Mars was present here or had authority over the 9th, then the child so born would become a tyrant. [42] Even with the best of dignity there is a tendency to force beliefs upon others, or to believe that one is what one believes, but in the daytime, when Mars is contrary to the sect, this is more common. It represents taking a stand and sticking to your guns as far as your beliefs are concerned. Frequently if Mars is powerful here, it is an indication of religious fanaticism. At night, Mars, particularly if it is in good dignity, is good for getting to the bottom of issues regarding life and death. It is particularly good for sports professionals as the Gauquelin research has shown. According to Lilly, those so born would not make good christians and are haters of God. [43] It is interesting that Mars' color (red) is often how the church depicts the devil. If Mars is afflicted or out of sect and in debility it can indicate danger or violence while traveling abroad.
