Solar Return Sun in 9th House:

While your Solar Return Sun is in your 9th house, your greatest opportunities for growth will be the expansion of your perspective of the world, and your greater understanding of the concepts and ideas, cultures, customs, and spiritual values, which influence humanity.

What is this year about?
Your Sun in your 9th house solar return placement indicates your need to broaden your knowledge base, to explore, examine, and reassess what you think you know about the world and your place in it. It’s time to update your philosophy of life and living.

What does this mean to me?
You will experience a desire to travel and to learn, to expand the scope of your understanding. This is the year to undertake subjects and studies which were always of interest to you. Anything foreign will be more interesting, foreign ideas, customs, cultures. Higher education is stressed but this does not mean that your intellectual interests or activities will be restricted to philosophy. You are open to exposing yourself to new ideas which you intend to put into practical application. If you act wisely, you will apply the understanding you gain this year to redefine and frame your system of beliefs in ways that you can practically put them into practice.
How are these energies likely to be expressed in my life?
Your mental attitude will be very positive, and you will be more tolerant of others and their belief systems. You are more likely than ever to include foreign people in your life or even travel outside the country. Travel this year will broaden your horizons giving you first hand experience of other cultures. At the very least, your attraction to ideas will make you more willing to explore a wider range of subjects, and spur you on to tackle abstract concepts that you might previously had difficulty comprehending.
You may find yourself taking refresher courses or even going back to school this year to complete your education. If you have completed your education you might find yourself called to write or teach. Your accentuated interest will transcend the higher sciences, religion, or languages, and extend to the spiritual. Your choice of studies may include unusual, mystical and occult subjects as you find yourself questioning the beliefs you have held up to now. You will be attracted to foreign ideas and philosophies looking for new perspectives which have practical applications in your life.

What should I be cautious about?
Avoid a do as I say not as I do approach or you are likely to attract social situations where your ideas are dismissed because you are accused of being hypocritical. Inconsistencies in your beliefs will be accentuated and manifest in your life.
If you adopt narrow or negative spiritual philosophies you may be encouraged to place yourself in or remain in emotionally or psychologically unhealthy situations. Just because something is old or foreign, doesn’t make it true. Part of this solar return experience is to observe. Objectively observe how these ideas have helped or failed to help the people who hold them. It would be far better to choose spiritual beliefs which actually improve your quality of living.

What advice can you recommend?
This is a great year for taking trips. Foreign travel is favorable. If there is a place on the globe that has always called out to you, make your travel plans.
As you explore other people’s answers about life and way to live, you are defining your own philosophy, one that breaks down the barriers between people, one you can use to improve your life and benefit the lives of others.
