Mars in the 9th House

The 9th House is about long explorative journeys, both mental and physical. It rules our attitudes and opinions on all topics and our efforts to understand complex issues, including morals and ethics. It rules higher education, laws, philosophy, religion, and the type of wisdom we attain in this life. The 9th House relates to our experiences contributing to personal evolution and big-picture thinking.

Your mind is enthusiastic, but restless, and you seek to live life to the fullest. You are independent in thought and will always fight for your convictions. Your religious zeal (or zeal for atheism) must be watched so that it doesn't turn into fanaticism. You have strong opinions and are happy to tell anyone who will listen what they are. You have a strong desire to travel, not necessarily physically, but mentally. You tend to have a liberal, broad, and progressive philosophy about life and do not want anyone else imposing their beliefs on you. There is a possibility of strife with in-laws. You may need to watch a tendency towards believing you are always right.
