In Vedic astrology, the ninth house and the tenth house both hold significance when it comes to understanding the father’s role in a Kundli (birth chart), but they represent different aspects:
- Ninth House (Dharma Bhava or Pitru Bhava): This house is traditionally associated with the father. It represents the father’s influence on your moral values, spiritual beliefs, and overall fortune. It reflects the father’s guidance, wisdom, and the karmic blessings passed down to you. It’s also linked to higher education, religious inclinations, and philosophical outlooks.
- Tenth House (Karma Bhava): While the ninth house focuses on the father’s spiritual and moral impact, the tenth house is more about the father’s professional life and societal status. It represents career, reputation, and the legacy of hard work. In some interpretations, it can also indicate the father’s role in shaping your ambitions and professional path.
So, both houses are relevant, but the ninth house is more about the father’s personal and spiritual influence, while the tenth house relates to his professional and societal contributions.
