LMAO. I’ve got Jupiter in my 9th (in pisces) and will probably be in some form of school for the rest of my life. It’s the focal point of my t-square with the sun and uranus though, so it’s always a challenge and I don’t know if I’ll ever actually complete a degree. But if I’m not in school, I’m trying to figure out how to get there.

Um…I’ve been at the same college since 1996. I’m about halfway through my English degree…my Fine Arts degree…and my…oh, never mind.

Here’s looking forward to my 3rd year…somewhere…anywhere?
I’ve studied English, Sciences, Library Tech, Art History, and now I’m doing Design and Painting in a Fine Arts program.
I’m finally at home. Maybe. ::Smirks:: I do have Saturn transiting my 9th House currently, maybe that’s why I finally feel grounded.

(Jupiter in the 6th opposed Neptune; empty 9th House; Sag ASC).

LOL. Uranus, Pluto, Venus in my 9th, if you look at it with equal houses, with Jupiter on the 8th/9th cusp @ 2 deg. away.

If I won the lottery tomorrow I would get another degree haha.

(I have 2 Master’s and I’ve worked for Universities since 1999.)

I am now in my… oh… 7th year of college working on a 2nd and 3rd bachelors before I finally decide on some sort of masters. Every time I get here I want to leave. Every time I leave I want to come back. My Jupiter is conjunct Saturn in Libra in the 9th.

Is anyone here NOT highly educated (besides me)? Or are you just not admitting it? LOL

9th house, Gemini Midheaven – appears to be squaring Pluto and my Asc., and trining my sun/moon. I have no idea how to interpret that. Any takers?

Got nothing in my 9th. I absolutely HATE being in school. I got a masters degree and specifically chose a shorter program. I hated my way through it, such a pleasure to do the group projects with. Funny thing is that I became a teacher. I love being on this side of the equation.

Oh, but just realized Pluto going into Cap means it’s now transiting my 9th. Hmmm…

i’ve almost got a lowly b.a. – i finished the requirments but took me a full 7 years and they changed it on me. i would have had to have another semeseter driving over an hour each way 3 days a week. couldn’t justify it for my own gratification.

so you’re not alone, marianne.

also have an empty 9th. i do well in school, though, when i go. jupiter in the 11th.

My viewpoint of astrology attracting educated people is simply that the evidence in favor of it is compelling enough to pursue. On the other side not all PhDs are scientists.

Erradin – I agree but why me? I am not their peer so that is the puzzle. I think I figured it out or at least I have a theory.

God I love school, esp. college. Leo Jupiter in the 11th, now that I’m checking out the equal houses looks like Gem MC is there and Taurus true node (whatever that even is).

I love that you go from subject to subject every few hours, it’s like a smorgasbord! At the end of the day you’ve been a million places mentally. And then seeing people, and getting food from the various lunch trucks, and all the books in the library, and the cute smart men and flirting with the professors…

I actually was going to teach but stopped at my masters. Can’t stop myself from taking on occassional academic projects, though, that come up through my work. That is definitely a self-esteem thing. I felt that 100% academic wasn’t jazzy enough for me, but it makes me feel like I’m going on all the rides with these kinda obscure esoteric accomplishments.

And what a fun rythmn of the year. Travelling abroad for a semester, doing something different for the summer. Discrete chunks of concentrated experience. Love it!

I became interested in astrology because of the math calculations made using geometry.

And longitude and latitude locations and how all of this correlates perfectly and logically.

My father bought a lot of telescopes and we use to stand on the roof and learn about astronomy.

Being a little girl it was ok to be fascinated with daddies hobbies but when I became a woman
for some reason it was time for me to make sauce and read cookbooks..

The last time I saw my father he gave me a Romba its still sitting in the box..Its like a few years old..My father doesn’t even know what I do for a living. He thinks I am a housekeeper..
I could never tell him I managed 440 people.
He would of called me a ballbreaker, one of those bitchy women and a lot of other nasty names, Is that big time Saturn and old world tradition…LOL

Don’t get me wrong. I don’t think I lack intelligence. Clearly this is not the case or I would not be hired! But I do think it is typical people stay in their milieu and there are a lot of very educated astrologers. No, I think they come to me for a specific reason and whatever it is, I do deliver because they come back for the most part and many of them bring others.

Erradin, I agree too. And I mean “scientist” liberally – academics who are trained to critically evaluate evidence in support of/against a theory.

{{{reality}}} sorry your dad never really got you. it sounds hurtful, and i do know the experience of feeling like you’re a disappointment to parents; even if you know they’re wrong, it still stings. even after many years.

but you might want to break out that roomba anyway. they do rock. i have an unnatural level of love for my roomba and my catgenie.

Jupiter in Capricorn. 9th house has Scorpio, Mars, and Neptune.

I am absolutely a student — I am a perennial “Why? What? How?” questioner of just about everything, and am happiest when I’m mentally engaged and learning. I also tend to be that annoying student who, usually unintentially, breaks the curve because when I want to know about something, I go deep and learn it — I’m not happy just passing a class, I want to excel in the knowledge base.

With school, I have a BA in English, and have recently gone back to be trained as an LPN so I can work as a nurse while pursuing my RN, then my BSN, then a Master’s degree in the field, and I haven’t decided if I want to continue past that yet, but I’m leaning towards yes (where the money is coming from to pay for all this I haven’t decided — but I can dream big, right?) I’ve also noticed that I tend to lose interest in my work when I’ve come to the conclusion that I know everything I need to know in that particular role, which has led to some interesting (not always good, but always educational) career changes over the years.

Lots of “students”, here.

I have two Sadge planets, Sun/Mercury in 9th, and Moon conjunct Jupiter… and boy do I hate school, period. I seem to be good at most anything I try, though, so I’m not sure it matters.

Jupiter conjunct Saturn. I opened a fortune cookie the other day and it said:

“All your successes in life will be earned through earnest efforts.”

…poop

Pluto in Libra. 9H Uranus on MC- pluto-took school very seriously- full scholarship. military history undergrad, post-grad. oxford. School was my rock when my family exploded. uranus-as a 10 yr.old kid curled up with ‘linda goodman’ rereading every page then hiding it away so nobody would see it. secret gift from gramma. have always loved astrology. now i love to study astrology, i and love elsas blog.

Elsa I was giving a great deal of thought to education. I think the 9th house is covering the formal type of education. Make no mistake there are people in the world who are educated but what is it ? a piece of fancy paper Thats all it is a piece of paper they give you for paying them money to tell you what book to read ?
Did you ever think about that ?

Rob (“coked out of my skull”, ha ha ha that’s so silly, betcha stayed awake tho, hmmmm? ) my friend teaches gifted children (elementary school age). Her password for the school board’s online system is, funnily enough, “fuck you.” Her kids and parents love the crap out of her…she is a fantastic mother and does it solo, too.

She is an Aquarius with Moon in Scorpio and Sagittarius ASC.

(mercury’s in the ninth, in taurus, opposing uranus & in aspect to saturn/the ascendant, and chiron might be in there, too.)

Skye – I agree. This blog is higher learning.
