Mind focus
A person with Mercury in 9th House thinks the big picture; doesn't stay in small detail. Mind shines in philosophical, religious, academic, international areas. Professor, publisher, traveling writer, religious philosopher, translator type. Learning foreign languages is a natural talent — comfortable in multiple languages. Often experiences study abroad; going far is a method of becoming informed. Verbal expression tries to fit into the big picture — wants meaning. Risk: being dogmatic; belittling small detail; "I know everything" type intellectual arrogance.
Learning style
Learns the big picture first; then detail fills in. Academic book, university course, study abroad — all methods.
Shadow
Dogmatic thinking, belittling small detail, intellectual arrogance.
