For most people, their ninth house is not activated - they are like unlit lanterns.

Even when struck, there is little result - they keep their matches damp.

They cruise with comfort between life and death; between their first house and eighth - a journey of mere survival.

But as one becomes sensitive to transience of life, the ninth house - house of dharma- becomes active.

And people who had sailed dark waters of their samsara - in a vicious cycle of bondage and repetition - are propelled towards their twelfth house of freedom.
