Chiron in the 9th House

This shows your deepest wound residing in expansion. This can be physically, meaning travel, or
mentally, meaning philosophy or religion. You may go through a transformation of beliefs at least once
in your life and it can be very prominent and life changing. You are a life long learner and strong
advocate of constant learning yet you may stress yourself out in trying to do just that. You are a great
teacher, but if you don’t allow your mind to expand and see other sides to things, you can be arrogant
and unwavering.
You put a lot of stress on yourself to follow what you currently believe, yet allow others to be flexible
in their approaches and offer up multiple ways of doing things. You enjoy helping others expand, yet
you are afraid to yourself. It’s important to continue to expand your mind, and you can do that through
travel and study and listening to others. To heal this wound, you must let truth shine through rather than
holding convictions that you’ve grown out of as well as DO what you feel your soul pulling you
toward. Everything is a learning experience after all.

Chiron in the 9th House

Individuals with Chiron in 9th house often have had experiences where their inner and instinctual
nature has been traumatized by being forced to fit the cultural or religious norms of society. These
people know what it is like to fight against religious or social dogmas. They have been wounded by the
thoughtless actions and words of others. These individuals may have been gifted with abilities that go
against the grain of societal stereotypes, the soldier mum or the stay at home dad. Their sexuality may
go against the religious upbringing they received. They may have been subject to prejudice because of
disability.
These people tend to confound our expectations of what they should be, they reject stereotypes and
refuse to be pigeon-holed. These people are often understanding how we are all unique as individuals
and they are frontrunners of change. At a basic level they run up against the big other, whether that is
the state, religious, political, national, tribal or Scientific beliefs that seek to control for ‘the better good
of future generations’.
They often know what it feels like to be the obstacle that needs removing to create this better world for
all. Whether they are single parents, the undeserving poor or any other minority they probably know
what it feels like to be held accountable for all of societies ills. The Big other can also be commercial
goods in recent riots it was expensive trainers and mobile phones that were the top priority of looters,
in a society constantly bombarded with messages that these items hold the key to happiness and
success, they become the big other that others are preventing us from having in order to prevent our
happiness.
We all have our big other whether it is meditation, house in the country the big other is what will make
us happy and completely fulfilled, and another aspect of this may be learning that the big other never
achieves this role it may be moving to the dream house in the country only to find you are unhappy.
Successful athletes often have this experience after obtaining their goal when they realise that Olympic
gold medals don’t lead to long term self fulfilment and happiness.
They may themselves be ideological victims of their own big other and sacrifice their own personal
happiness for the belief in a cause for the greater good. This may mean they dedicate their life to some
belief only to discover it is a sham that is being used to abuse and manipulate others. This however is
not a complete waste of that portion of their lives for they have learnt valuable lessons and have the
skills and experience necessary to help others in similar situations, this is also true of those who have
been the target of society’s scapegoating they to are often skilled in helping others who face similar
situations to learn to cope and move forward.
