ASTROLOGY & SPIRITUALITY For life, the guiding light is represented by spiritual leaders who show the way. By healing the mind, spiritual gurus bring meaningfulness to life and serve as great strength to society. According to astrology, when analyzing one's birth chart: 1) When the 9th house is strong, there will be an increased internal interest in spirituality. 2) When the Moon is in a quadrant or center, individuals possess emotional sensitivity and have divine insight and compassion. 3) When Jupiter is in the Ascendant or 9th house, they tend to be natural teachers and spiritual mentors. 4) When Ketu is in the 12th house, there is a decreased worldly attachment. 5) When the 8th house is activated, there is a drive toward healing services and an interest in occultism. 6) When Saturn is in the 6th or 12th house, there is a tendency to reduce karma through service and patience, which heightens healing power. 7) The combination of the Moon and Venus in Pisces signifies unconditional love, empathy, and spiritual grace. 8) The combination of Mercury and Jupiter signifies wonderful comforting power and knowledge through mantras and speech. 9) The D9 chart must be strong for one to become a spiritual guru. 10) The element of fire must dominate in the birth chart, as the fire signs (Aries, Leo, Sagittarius) are inclined towards spirituality.
