Moon in Sagittarius in the Ninth House
With the Moon in Sagittarius, the Moon takes on a sparkle and brightness that it does not have in other sign. Sagittarius is the astrological sign of higher learning and breadth of vision. Here the Moon’s influence loses its passivity. If you have your Moon in Sagittarius you are noted for your quick, sharp mind, extraordinary insights, and an ability to get things done in a flash. Your clear-thinking intelligence sifts through sensory impressions swiftly and with startling lucidity.
Having your Moon in Sagittarius, you are the kind of person who envisions great goals and then, undaunted by possible failure, sets about achieving them. You rarely listen to advice about pitfalls and drawbacks, nor do you wait to find out if a plan is impractical or unworkable. With energy and enthusiasm you rush in and usually accomplish what you set out to do. One reason for your success is your keen judgment. With your Moon in Sagittarius, you have a way of seeing farther than people with their Moon in other signs.
As a Moon in Sagittarius individual you are fond of open spaces, travel, new people, and different surroundings. Among your most winning traits is adaptability—to different kinds of personalities and to foreign and strange places. Your immediate reaction to a new experience is to explore and learn more. With your Moon in Sagittarius, a chance to expand your horizons is always welcome, and you are not exclusively interested in making a profit. Money, in fact, does not stay long in your pocket or checking account. You feel that the whole purpose of money is to buy pleasure. You want to enjoy life.
As an individual with your Moon in Sagittarius, at times you can be quite careless and reckless. Since you believe in your luck, you tend to abandon yourself to whatever fate has in store. You operate on the theory of optimistic fatalism. The danger is that you may push your luck too far. However, a setback does not keep you down for long.
Having your Moon in Sagittarius, with renewed high spirits and a fresh outlook, you hitch up your wagon once more to the stars. Because of your charm and geniality, you have a knack for making friends. You also have a witty way with words and a buoyant sense of humor. Your social gaiety sweeps others along on a tidal wave of goodwill. With your Moon in Sagittarius, one of your most endearing qualities is your ability to perceive the best in people.
For the Moon in Sagittarius, when you criticize, you do so with such openness and candor that it is comparatively easy to take. Unlike the other fire Moons (Moon-Aries and Moon-Leo), Moon in Sagittarius individuals are not highly sexed and passionate. You look on love more as an adventure. You enjoy the thrill of discovery, the stimulating high of being in love, but you are unwilling to immerse yourself in deep emotional intensity. After a while your lovers may complain of your detachment or un-reachableness. Having your Moon in Sagittarius, a perfect soul-mate for you is someone who looks more outward than inward, and in time your love affairs become more like friendships. You are also noted for a roving eye and a refusal to be tied down to one person or one place. You need a lot of personal space and independence. This does not necessarily make you a bad marriage partner – you are a marvelous companion – it is just that you do have a certain lightheartedness about love and fidelity. Life to you, with a Moon in Sagittarius, means change and variety, and this attitude has a way of also applying to love.
The sign position of the Moon describes how we habitually respond to other people and to the circumstances of our lives, as well as how we experience our emotions and seek emotional fulfillment. Its house position corresponds to the area of life in which we operate most unconsciously, according to past patterns and instinctive responses.
Moon in the 9th House:
With your Moon in the 9th House, although there is some danger that the emotional side of your personality may not be as fully developed internally, the Moon in the 9th House shows the potential for your emotional development to occur in other ways. The focus of the type of experience represented by the 9th House is outward, experiential and cognitive rather than emotional. Thus, having your Moon in the 9th House, you may not develop or exercise your emotional faculties much in intimate and personal settings. You are more likely to experience emotions that are energizing, thrilling or have to do with discovery.
As an individual with your Moon in the 9th House, you are most likely to respond with your emotions when you are confronting or are involved with the wider world. You may also be driven to understand your emotions or your subconscious. Thus, with your Moon in the 9th House, rather than being directly felt, your emotions may become an object of cognition and reasoning. This may tend to negate the subjective side of the psyche that is symbolized by the Moon. If you do not regain touch with this subjective world, you are likely to lose a vital part of yourself. On the other hand, by being detached from your emotions and through understanding the emotional process you are more likely to be in control of your emotions and to be able to maintain a state of emotional equilibrium.
Insecurities
Having your Moon in the 9th House, if you are inwardly insecure, you may be intimidated by the wide scope within which you feel called upon to operate at the emotional level. You may feel that you cannot possibly give of yourself emotionally to the range of experience indicated by the 9th House. You, therefore, hold back emotionally and you fail to develop or manifest your emotional side.
Alternatively, with your Moon in the 9th House, you may take such an objective approach to your own emotions that you feel intimidated by any subjective experience of their reality that may intrude on you from your subconscious. This leads you to be fearful of becoming emotionally intimate. Having your Moon in the 9th House, another manifestation of your emotional insecurity is for you to broadcast your emotions, almost treating the emotional side of life as a sport or adventure. This is a defense mechanism that allows you to avoid intimate emotional experience.
Focus of Emotional Development
As an individual with your Moon in the 9th House, you will tend to develop emotionally by acquiring broad experiences (e.g., travel) and by attempting to understand your own emotionality. Thus, emotional development may occur later in life, after a sufficient amount of experience has been accumulated and your horizons have been widened. Your emotions may also lean toward excitement and enthusiasm as appropriate emotional responses to your discovery of a wider world.
