Sun - Suppose it is a Sagittarius Ascendant chart and Sun rules the 9th house with Leo sign and sits in the 8th house in the sign of Cancer.

Libra Ascendant - If it is Libra Ascendant, Mercury rules 9th & 12th houses and sits in 8th house in Taurus. As Taurus is sign of Wealth & 8th house is house of other people money, Mercury sitting here shows that person is involved in higher education and research related with Money and Wealth. So, these people can be working as Chartered Accountants, Financial Analyst, Wealth Manager etc. They will earn by managing other people wealth. Interest in Occult will remain and they like to write Books, Articles and Blogs about Occult side of life.
Capricorn Ascendant - If it is Capricorn Ascendant, then Mercury rules 6th and 9th house and sits in 8th house in Leo. Here, they become very analytical, critical and kind of perfectionist when it comes to higher education.

Alternatively, they can be working as spokesperson of Govt on sensitive and most confidential issues. They will be holding lots of secretive information with them which brings their authority.
Venus - Venus also can be 9th house ruler through its two signs. So, let's take both one after the other.
Virgo Ascendant - If it is Virgo Ascendant, Venus rules 9th & 2nd house and sits in 8th house in Aries sign. This shows someone who is very much in love with occult side of life but at the same time, they are the ones who may be keeping a secret love affair about which none knows. As Aries is sign of Individuality, they will assert their individuality in relations, which may lead to disputes, like they may like to keep their wealth separate from partner or in-laws. Venus dasha will bring transformation in relationship and beliefs.
Aquarius Ascendant - If it is Aquarius Ascendant, Venus rules 4th & 9th house and sits in 8th house in Virgo, where it is debilitated. If Venus is nearby the exact degrees of debilitation, this can be a real troublesome situation for relationship. This shows that person got into a relationship which ended into disputes & arguments. The relation may even be physically abusive and may result in financial loss to person. So, this person should be very careful about with whom he is in relation. Thorough horoscope match is must when it comes to marriage. In both cases of Venus, a guy may marry someone from other ethnic background.
Jupiter - Jupiter also can be 9th house ruler through its two signs. So, let's take both one after the other.
Aries Ascendant - If it is Aries Ascendant, Jupiter rules 9th & 12th house and sits in 8th house in Scorpio Sign. This shows an Astrologer, Mystic or Occultist. Jupiter is all about knowledge and education and ruling the 9th house of education, it is sitting in 8th house of occult. So, this person is all about Occult, Mysticism and Astrology. They can be master mystic. They know all the mystical stuff like Tantra, Black Magic and all. Then they utilize it for serving other people needs. Its a good position.
Cancer Ascendant - If it is Cancer Ascendant, Jupiter rules 6th & 9th house and sits in 8th house in Aquarius. This person approaches occult and religion through Scientific and Logical means. If you cant explain occult in a scientific way to them, they may not believe it. They also take all the knowledge of occult and religion but with delay and lots of hard work as Jupiter is in Saturn's sign. Once they attain knowledge, they utilize it for the Social Welfare and for common good. Alternatively, they may also work in Large Organizations in Finance and Research field.
Saturn - Saturn also can be 9th house ruler through its two signs.
In either sign (Capricorn/Aquarius) as 9th house lord, Saturn in 8th house (for Gemini/Taurus Ascendants respectively) surely indicates someone who has a very long life. Occult related information will come to them slowly but surely. They will get their Gurus in their 30s. Likewise, relations with in-laws are stressful to start with but slowly improve and get much better after mid-30s. Joint Assets with spouse also will improve gradually. These people can be working in Govt or Law related field in which they have to serve people facing sudden events, so law enforcement or army people who help during natural calamities can be seen from here. Additionally, any work related with mining is good for them. They will get some real harsh and strict Gurus in early life but as they grow older they get old and wise Gurus.
Rahu - If Rahu is 9th house Lord through its sign Aquarius, as it co-rules Aquarius along with Saturn, and sits in 8th house in Capricorn then 1st of all we need to make sure of Saturn's position as it is the main ruler. Rahu in Capricorn in 8th house will transform Rahu as Saturn as Rahu changes its nature as per the lord of sign it is placed in. At the same time, Rahu's basic nature of being insatiable will remain there. Rahu in Capricorn in 8th house shows that these people will either have very adamant approach towards Occult & Mysticism or they will have very weird/unusual approach. They can give you Scientific meanings of all Occult practices or they can be complete conman while dealing with such issues. They will have unusual/weird relation with in-laws or in-laws may be in/from Foreign Lands.
Ketu - Likewise, If Ketu is 9th house Lord through its sign Scorpio, as it co-rules Scorpio along with Mars, and sits in 8th house in Libra then 1st of all we need to make sure of Mars' position as it is the main ruler. Here Ketu becomes peaceful and starts exploring the world of occult. Although, it may not give good relation with in-laws but the person becomes research oriented in occult and mysticism related matters and may become an excellent Occultist. This is one of Moksha Margi position. This gives great intuition.
Hope this helps. Thanks,
