Travel Astrology - Basics

Important astrological houses for travel and anything related with foreign element are 9th and 12th house, but also 3rd house for short trips. The most important house for travel is definitely the 9th house. So let us take a closer look at the 9th house.


The 9th house is ruled by Sagittarius, whose ruler is Jupiter. Sagittarius is fire, adventure, daring, impulsive, open minded, loves to party and exploring new horizons, both through travel and philosophy. Jupiter is the great benefic, which means that whatever it touches brings expansion and growth without much effort. Unless there is a difficult aspect, Jupiter brings luck and wealth. So besides the 9th house we should also check the placement of Jupiter, which is the main significator for travel.

The main indications for travel, moving to foreign land, marrying a foreigner or work involving a foreign element are:

1. 9th house - sign, planets in it and their aspects, aspects to cusp, placement of the ruler
2. Jupiter - placement, aspects
3. 12th house - sign, planets in it and their aspects, aspects to cusp, placement of the ruler

The main difference between 9th and 12th house when it comes to travel is the nature of it. The 9th house brings travel and consequently wealth and good reputation in foreign land, whereas the 12th house brings travel and some kind of loss regarding it, generally financial loss. The 9th house is more related to travel where the 12th house is more related to foreign settlement or living abroad for longer period. This is often the case when there is a connection between the ascendant and/or Jupiter with 9th or/and 12th house. When considering if the settlement will be permanent, we should check any connection with the 4th house, if there is one, the person will most likely return back to the place of birth/home. This may not be the case if the ascendant and/or the rulers of the 9th and 12th house are in fixed sign where the native is likely to move to foreign land permanently.

The native can for sure expect travels or connections with a foreign element if the 9th and 12th houses are occupied, especially with Jupiter or Sun, but even if these houses are empty it does not mean the native will not travel, because we have to consider other aspects as well.
In next posts we will take a closer look into different aspects and placements connected with travel and foreign element.

Planets in Houses - 9th House / Sun

One of the main subjects of 9th astrological house is travel, and when we have  a natal Sun in this adventurous house, we can expect a life full of travel with a capital "T". In this post I will focus my writing on travel related subjects of the natal Sun in the 9th house with a somewhat unique touch. Anyone who has Sun placed in the 9th house in his birth chart is a traveller and explorer by heart. But not everyone with this placement has the same taste when it comes to the type of travel and places they want to travel to. Someone likes hiking in the mountains, while someone else prefers the seaside. The astrological sign of the 9th house and of natal Sun can show us these differences. If you feel frustrated because you have difficulties in getting a job, or lacking the will to pursue your dreams and goals, or perhaps you just do not feel at home in the country or city you live in, then perhaps you should give the following places a try. You...

Taurus Sun in 9th House

With Taurus Sun in the 9th house in your natal chart you are traditional, refined and sensual individual, who loves hedonistic ( in a good way ) vacations with great cuisine. Taurus is a gentle and sensual sign with enormous strenght and determination when it comes to business. Fond of beauty and charm, you like to expand your horizons in a way that enables you to enjoy in the beautiful things this world has to offer. Anything that stimulates your senses like art, music, fine clothes or food. As an earth sign, you feel a strong connection with nature, so a peaceful walk through colorful gardens is a good way for recharging your life energy. You are very traditional and like the safety of a routine, so situations and activities that change quickly are not the best choices for a Taurus Sun. CAREER The Sun represents our life essence and thus our vocation. Having natal Sun in this position, you are very hard working and ambitio...
