The lord of the 2nd house in the 9th house of the horoscope

“Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra” (chapter 26): “If the ruler of the 2nd bhava is placed in the 9th bhava, then the native will be wealthy, persistent and skilful. He will be sickly in childhood, but happy (and healthy) in the remaining years of his life. He visits holy places, observes spiritual laws and ceremonies and the like.”

The placement of the ruler of the 2nd in the 9th house may give the following results:

• journeys abroad in search of earnings
• income through the attainment of knowledge and wisdom
• the chief value in life is higher knowledge, philosophy, the guru
• here the ruler of the 2nd house is in the 8th house from its own 2nd house — transformation by means of knowledge and the bringing of this experience into one’s own family

Wealth. Money from the father, from elders or from religious organisations. An inheritance thanks to fate is possible. Good speech, a happy family life, an excellent imagination, learning, erudition, wholesome nourishment. (James Braha)

Abilities to earn well may manifest, along with a knowledge of philosophy, law and religion. Suffering from illnesses in the early years of life, with the years these people become happier. Usually they cope well with the solving of any task. (Tom Hopke)

Able, well off; he receives a good inheritance, and also income from the father and from elders, from travel, journeys abroad, the transportation of freight, and religious teachings. The source of income depends on the nature of the sign. (Shri G.S. Agarwal)
