Hello Tom
It seems to me that we all go through our own private versions of hell before the “little” light turns on that “finally” illuminates the darkness.
I hope you do not object, but at this point, it seems best to me that “we” explore and define the nature of the 9th House because Everyone will “travel” through the 9th House at some time in their evolutionary journey. In fact it seems to me that “everyone” on the Forum is on their way to the 9th House in one way or another in this life. In order to connect with our Higher Selves via the Rainbow Bridge (the 6th sense), we must all go through the 9th House. A person does Not need to be born with Pluto in the 9th House.
There are many ways to reach the 9th House. For example, my Pluto is in the 3rd House, but I have several planets in the 11th House. So, in effect, my journey in life starts out in the 3rd House and ends in the 11th House. That does Not put me in a place where I am “ahead” of everyone, but it did put me in a place where I needed to learn “many” things from the “bottom” up and that makes my journey a long one. We all have different “objectives” we are all “unique” and we will all find our “way” in Time. And, it seems to me that, the next year or two will “clear” up “things” in our minds and we will all move on to live out our “dreams”. As I see it, we are immortal spiritual being having a human experience and, we will all make a difference in this world. We, along with others, are the “pioneers” and it is a difficult job, but, that is why we are here. Only the “strong” applied to be at the “head” of this parade. Hang in there it will all work out.
That Vast majority of the astrology sites that are on the web do not use the “Evolution of the Soul” as a baseline concept when they “say what they say”. As a result most of what they “put out” it is wrong or only partly correct. The Astromatrix.org web site seems to have the best on line Soul Centered Astrology information.
The 9th House will require all of us to reach what I would call a “unity consciousness” state of mind and the link below does a very good job of “outlining” what the 9th House is all about.
astromatrix.org/Horoscopes/Houses/9th-HouseWhen the link first appears, there is a narrative titled
9TH HOUSE 'LEARNING WHO YOU REALLY ARE'
There is MORE info that follows the narrative. For example, there are several “famous” people like Michael Jackson, who were born as a Pluto in the 9th House person. By clicking on a person picture, more info is revealed about the person’s astrology. Interesting stuff.
However the “meat” of the info about the 9th House comes from the section in the link ties Astrology to Tarot and a cut out sample of the info follows:

As I see it, all of us in the Forum are going to Connect with the Rainbow bridge during this Life. The difficult lives that we have all lived serve a purpose and better, more secure, and intuitively confident lives await us. All things work to the good and as they say: “it seems darkest just before the dawn.”
If anyone has some feelings or thoughts to share about the info above, please share it with all of us.
Take Care, Norman

'TRUST IN YOURSELF'
When we carry a load of shoulds and shouldn'ts imposed on us by others we become like this ragged, struggling figure trying to make his way uphill. "Go faster, try harder, reach the top!" shouts the foolish tyrant he carries on his shoulder, while the tyrant himself is crowned with an imperious rooster. If life these days feels like just a struggle from the cradle to the grave, it could be time to shrug your shoulders and see what it feels like to walk without these characters on your back.
You have your own mountains to conquer, your own dreams to fulfill, but you will never have the energy to pursue them until you release yourself from all the expectations you've gathered from others but now think are your own. Chances are they exist only in your own mind, but that doesn't mean they can't weigh you down. It's time to lighten up, and send them on their way.
Quotes on 6 of Swords
A man's true life is the way in which he puts off the lie imposed by others on him. Stripped, naked, natural, he is what he is. This is a matter of being, and not of becoming. The lie cannot become the truth, the personality cannot become your soul. There is no way to make the nonessential the essential. The nonessential remains nonessential and the essential remains essential, they are not convertible. And striving towards truth is nothing but creating more confusion.
The truth has not to be achieved. It cannot be achieved, it is already the case. Only the lie has to be dropped. All aims and ends and ideals and goals and ideologies, religions and systems of improvement and betterment, are lies. Beware of them. Recognize the fact that, as you are, you are a lie.
Manipulated, cultivated by others. Striving after truth is a distraction and a postponement. It is the lie's way to hide.
See the lie, look deep into the lie of your personality. Because to see the lie is to cease to lie. No longer to lie is to seek no more for any truth--there is no need. The moment the lie disappears, truth is there in all its beauty and radiance. In the seeing of the lie it disappears, and what is left is the truth.---------end of quote

The Moon is in Aquarius all day, inspiring humanitarian gestures. While Aquarius is a Fixed sign and tends to stick to its guns, it also seeks freedom, and the Moon's square to Mars today can be a rebellious, impulsive influence.
However, it can be difficult to feel entirely confident about decisions right now with a quincunx between Venus and Neptune as well as a Mercury-Pluto quincunx coming into orb of influence tonight. We may be questioning our perceptions or second-guessing decisions. We may be seeing what we want to see, rather than what is, when it comes to financial affairs and affairs of the heart. Still, we tend to doubt our perceptions of perfection.
The result is a vague feeling of insecurity on romantic and social levels. Avoid making large purchases and commitments at this time. Decisions made now are unlikely to be objective. Re-assessing decisions we have already made, or adjusting our plans, may be in order.
