Okay, so I’ve been diving deep into astrology lately, and I wanted to really get what Venus in the 9th house means for me. I mean, I’ve read the descriptions online, but I wanted to see it play out in my actual life. So, I decided to do a little experiment.
First, I grabbed my birth chart. I already knew I had Venus in the 9th, but I wanted to refresh my memory on the specifics. Yup, there it was, smack-dab in Sagittarius. This is supposed to mean I love learning, exploring different cultures, and maybe even find love through travel or higher education. Sounds pretty cool, right?
So, I decided to lean into these themes for a week. I started by signing up for a free online course. I’ve always wanted to learn a bit of Italian, so I found a beginner’s course and dove right in. It was actually pretty fun! I felt that “Sagittarius spark” they talk about – that excitement for something new and expansive.

Next, I wanted to explore the “travel” aspect, but a big trip wasn’t really in the cards. Instead, I went to a local museum I’d never been to before. It had a whole exhibit on ancient Roman artifacts. I spent a good few hours there, just soaking it all in. I even struck up a conversation with one of the curators about a particular mosaic. It was surprisingly engaging!
The “love” part… well, that’s a bit trickier. I didn’t magically meet the love of my life at the museum, but I did feel a greater sense of openness to connection. I chatted with a few people in my Italian class online, and even though it wasn’t romantic, it felt good to connect with others over a shared interest.
The Results
- Learning: The Italian course was a definite win. I’m actually going to keep going with it!
- Exploring: The museum trip was a reminder that I don’t need to go far to experience something new and enriching.
- Love: No whirlwind romance, but I did feel a shift in my energy. More open, more curious, more… hopeful?
So, after my week-long Venus in the 9th house experiment, I can say that the descriptions, at least for me, seem to hold some water. I felt more connected to those themes of learning, exploration, and potential connection. It’s not magic, but it’s a nice reminder to focus on the things that bring me joy and expand my horizons. I think I’ll keep incorporating these little “Venus in the 9th” activities into my routine. Who knows what might happen?
