Nessus in the 9th House
Nessus in your 9th house carries the harm pattern around belief, teachers, and higher learning, the abuse of moral or intellectual authority, harm done in the name of truth, or betrayal by a mentor or institution of belief. The inherited cycle plays out in the realm of meaning, and the work is to end it. The gift is a conscience that questions sanctioned harm; the way through is to seek truth without using it to wound and to refuse harm dressed as wisdom.
Lean in — Seek truth without using it to wound, and refuse righteous harm.
Watch for — Repeat the moral or intellectual abuse done to you.
