Belonging to the Dharma Bhava category, the ninth house governs dutifulness, good karma, spiritual and religious instinct, and philosophical values. It is the house of teachers, gurus, your father, advisors and pilgrimages, covering any work you do for a higher purpose, whether that is charity, donation or sharing your knowledge for the good of society.
