Other Ascendant
In the case of the five remaining ascendants namely Aries, Gemini, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn, the 9th lord rules over the Trika houses (6, 8,12) too. So it is not dependable for promoting good fortune of the native. However, it does not mean that the 9th house and the 9th lord are not instrumental in bringing about good fortune. They cause only moderate results in a few cases, while they may give mixed results in others. Experience reveals that in the case of Cardinal Signs (Aries, Cancer, Libra, Capricorn), the 5th house and the 5th lord are more auspicious in conferring good luck and fortune than the 9th house and the 9th lord. Further it must be noted that the lords of the 1, 5 and 9 houses are always favourable and will generally confer auspicious results, depending upon their other lordships.
