Sun in Capricorn in the Ninth House

Having your Sun in Capricorn, your motivating force is desire for success, money, status, position, authority, and (though you may not realize it) for love. Capricorn is both an earth sign and a cardinal sign, and the combination of practicality (earth) and initiative (cardinal) produces a personality geared toward leadership and power. In the zodiac Capricorn is linked to the Midheaven — the point at the top of the horoscope that represents high achievement. You’re a born climber who’s not content to poke along down in the valleys. As long as there is a top to get to from the bottom, you will persevere in your upward striving. One of the hallmarks of having your Sun in Capricorn is that you learn to wait for things you want. You are willing to give up today’s temptation for tomorrow’s reward.

With your Sun in Capricorn, you are ambitious, practical, and, above all, determined. You are not interested in vague theory; you want to put any knowledge to use. Your active mind quickly grasps ideas, and you have an admirable ability to concentrate. You are precise and orderly, and generally don’t trust others to look after details. When you give your word you stick to it, and when you undertake a task you complete it to the best of your ability. You tend to fuss over details and to make sure all contingencies are covered. It’s your way of being in control. Because of your diligence, people sometimes fail to give you credit for creativity. Yet you are highly creative – your skill is to link this to your talent for organization.

As an individual with your Sun in Capricorn, as is your nature with everything else in life, you are cautious and conservative with money. Chances are you will amass wealth during your lifetime (usually in the later years), for you know how to make sound investments. In business your success is due to painstaking preparation. The journey of ten thousand miles may begin with a single step, but you know you can’t get anywhere unless you first know where you’re going. You may not size up a situation as quickly as some, but this can be an advantage, for it means you won’t heedlessly plunge in. Instead, you will research, examine what others have done before, and gather all relevant data. Only then, with a thorough understanding of the details, will you begin to move. And then you won’t be stopped until you reach your goal.

Having your Sun in Capricorn, your basic concern is for security. That goal comes first and you are usually materialistic. You can be spiteful toward those who stand in the way. You have a great sense of pride and will not forgive anyone who belittles or slights you. By the same token you will repay favors done for you. Scorpios also go out of their way to repay a kindness, but in their case it is done out of a sense of gratitude and fidelity. With you the motivation is pride that does not allow you to live comfortably under an obligation.

For the Sun in Capricorn, in most relationships you must dominate, because when you are in control you do not feel vulnerable to another person’s power. In small ways you are continually testing the loyalty of those close to you. You are the loner of the zodiac, but have a great need to be loved and appreciated. Unfortunately, you won’t let this need be known—in fact, you are a master at concealing it.

The Inner You with your Sun in Capricorn

With your Sun in Capricorn, you don’t need anyone to convince you that life is serious business; you’ve known it all along. That’s what keeps you anxiously asking yourself: Am I fulfilling my responsibilities? Am I achieving as much as I should? Am I self-reliant enough? You know you have the persistence and strength of purpose to reach your goals. But you also have a deep need to connect on an emotional level in your relationships so that you won’t feel separated from those you care about. Having a Sun in Capricorn, despite your intelligence and the fact that you’re so determined, you often feel insecure. You’re a bundle of conflicting emotions. You require discipline and order—chaos drives you crazy and makes you doubt yourself and what you’re capable of. But maybe the gods meant for you to have some doubt; if you believed you’re as powerful as you really are, you’d be impossible to live with!

The sign position of the Sun indicates how we seek to express ourselves, develop ourselves, fulfill ourselves, and assert our will and power to shape our environment. The house position indicates the area of life in which we choose to focus the energy of our Sun sign and fulfill the purpose which it represents.

Sun in the 9th House

Your Sun in the 9th House suggests that you tend to gain a sense of who you are by exploring and understanding the world. Thus, you tend to be externally focused and extroverted. Your ability to explore beyond your current horizons requires that you develop that capacity through expansiveness. By expanding your capabilities, your experience, your resources, etc., you gain opportunities to explore and understand new territory.

With your Sun in the 9th House, you are likely to be interested in institutions and activities that are expansive in nature. These include academics, philosophy, and travel. You are likely to be interested in pursuing whatever new experiences you can access.

As an individual with your Sun in the 9th House, you are also likely to have a need to integrate your experiences so that they form a consistent whole. This requires you, consciously or unconsciously, to have a paradigm to which you are able to relate your diverse and growing experiences. If you are conscious of this paradigm, you may have spent energy in seeking and developing it and may still be in the process of testing and modifying it as you become aware of new “data.” Understanding your experiences is likely to be important to you. Therefore, you may tend to avoid what you cannot understand.

Insecurities

With your Sun in the 9th House, if you are inwardly insecure, you will always be searching and never satisfied. But you are also unwilling to give up what limits you more than anything else – your ego. Therefore, your understanding of the world and your place in it is fundamentally flawed. As an individual with your Sun in the 9th House, you see yourself at the center of the world and, if your position is threatened, you become defensive. If your illusion is shown to be false, your self-confidence will be destroyed. Thinking that you understand the world, your attitude is smug and arrogant. You may pride yourself on your knowledge and on your connection to traditional institutions and, in this way, you seek to acquire status. If those constructs you hold to are found to be invalid or they fail you, you are likely to become confused and disillusioned. You may give up your faith and give yourself over to self-indulgence.

Focus of Your Identity

Having your Sun is in the 9th House, you are likely to identify with what you understand. You see yourself as a person of understanding and knowledge. You are also likely to view yourself as someone who is experienced, broad-minded and, possibly, well-traveled. You may possess a greater identification with community and community institutions than is normally found. Generally, you take your identity from how you have gone out into the world, “claimed” it as your own and expanded your horizons.
