The God among the Good Spirit's friends

The ninth house is the God: religion, philosophy, law, higher learning and travel. The eleventh is the Good Spirit of the old names: friends, groups, allies, benefactors and the hopes you hold for the future. When the ruler of the ninth sits in the eleventh, the large questions are carried among friends. Find the planet that rules your ninth house and see its sign for the temper of the circle.

Ninth and eleventh are a sextile in whole-sign houses, so the ruler sees its house and does so in the cooperative angle. The opening is real, and the eleventh adds the tradition's good fortune: a house that is said to bring help from others.

The group, the hope and the wider circle

You tend to find your teachers, readers and fellow students among friends. Clubs, societies, congregations, online forums, alumni networks and study circles can be where the ninth's concerns live, and friends often come from other countries, faiths and age groups. The same circle can give you a platform, a benefactor or an invitation to travel.

The eleventh is the house of hopes, so ideals matter. You may care about justice, education, the future of a faith or the improvement of a society, and you may find that these hopes grow when shared. Because the ruler sees its house, the friends help the belief and the belief helps the friends, and the placement has a hopeful and generous temper.

The planet that rules your ninth gives the circle's style. Jupiter makes broad-minded friends, Saturn serious, lasting ones and fewer of them, Mercury a talkative network, Venus a circle of affection and beauty, Mars a band of activists, and the Moon friends who feel like family.

Letting the circle widen the view

The easy line of sight can make the circle too comfortable. Belief kept among friends may never meet an opposing view, and the group's approval can stand in for the search. Ideals shared in the abstract sometimes stay there, because the circle is the reward.

Let the group widen the view instead of merely confirming it. Befriend people who disagree with you about the ninth's big questions, and do something with the hope, however small. When a friendship depends on shared belief alone, ask what would remain if the belief changed. Give your own study time that no group sees. The eleventh is also the house of hopes, and hopes are tested best when they have a date and a first step, so name one small action for the cause that matters most, and do it before the next meeting. Keep an eye on who in the circle gets heard and who does not.

Questions to reflect on

  • Which friends have changed what you believe?
  • Does your circle include anyone who thinks you are wrong?
  • What hope do you share with others that you have not acted on?
  • What would you study if no group would approve?
