What it means
The 9th house, Dharma Bhava, is a trikona house in the chart. It governs luck and fortune, father and guru, higher studies and pilgrimage. Sun (Surya) signifies soul and self-confidence, father, government and authority, reputation and vitality. When Sun occupies this house, these two sets of themes blend.
