D9/Navamsa Spouse Chart Observations

~ I know I'd go back to you ~

Mercury in the 8th house, this is an intense placement. It can indicate a strong communication between the native and the spouse, communication gets more sensual, almost hypnotic, they'll know what you think about. Sharing the same mindset

Venus in Cancer/Pisces/Scorpio, the spouse love language can be physical, they'll get physical, very connected, very loving, nurturing relationship, the relationship will feel heavy but emotional at times too

Sun in the 3H/11H can indicate your spouse might talk to their friends a lot about you, their friends might be interested in knowing you too, you can become a good pair

Sun in the 4H is a good placement to have if you are into people who want to have a family, because..your spouse might come from a big family, it is not sure if they want kids of their own because sometimes adoption can be brought up with them

Saturn in the 12H, this placement can be isolating for the couple as a whole, they might be busy with work, the native usually is very lonely before meeting the spouse.The spouse has a soft energy but often acts tough to not show their weakness, the spouse might also be foregin here or working in a foreign country

(Go back to you, go back to you) (Go back to you, go back to you)

Sun in Pisces, they might be known for being a peaceful person, calm, spiritual, understanding, maybe even jealous at times but they'll do it out of love

Sun in Libra, spouse might be flirty, social, charismatic..may love to impress you with little gifts to show their love for you, you can have a good spot in their little world

Sun in Sagittarius, oh I love this energy. Spouse is carefree, good at sports, health, very 'ride or die' vibes from them, wanting to see the whole world with them (Very BACK TO YOU VIBES)

Venus in Sagittarius can indicate your spouse loves freedom, loves to hangout, loves to go out for trips, they cannot stay in one place all their life so you might move a lot as a couple, of course..the spouse can be foreign from a different background than you

Venus in Leo can indicate your spouse is very gentle, caring, might love cooking or taking you out in different places to eat, they may love wearing jewellery, have beautiful hands and voice. Might spoil you

If your 7th house lord is retrograde in the D9 chart you often experience 'Back to you' energy in your love life, meaning no matter what happens. You'll always get back to each-other. Is a strong placement (actually)

If rahu/north node is in the 7th hosue in the D9 it suggests a spouse who is unconventional, a spouse who feels like a temptation, a desire, a forbidden fruit. Someone who just feels you 100%

(Go back to you, go back to you) (Go back to you, go back to you)

If rahu/north node is in the 10th house in D9 this can indicate the relationship with them can feel more public, the spouse can be busy or very focused on their work

If you have Saturn aspecting the 7th house lord you often attract partners who test your patience because you avoided emotional maturity in past connections

The D1 chart shows the spouse you want, while the D9 shows the spouse you'll actually get, that's why is important to look for repeating planets, it means the spouse doesn't change (in the sense of what you desire for them)

Moon in Aries can indicate a spouse with an intense ambition, passion, they believe that everything can be possible and will have an intense drive for life, the spouse is overly dominant

Mars in the 5H/7H can attract athletic partners, spouse with a good body figure, even muscles, abs, biceps all that. Spouse is blessed with a beautiful body figure

Mars in the 3H, what I think with this placement is that someone in the relationship either the native or the spouse (more on the native side) can have a dark humour, can get angry or heated fast in conversation and may hurt each other while arguing (a coping mechanism for them to shut down after)

Mercury in the 1st/5th/10th they might look younger than their actual age, a spouse who ages beautifully, can be hard to guess their age at the first sight, charming, flirty, wants to be impressed

The 2H in your D9 chart can show things about their voice and vocabulary!!

Mercury here can indicate bubbly voice and using a lot of slangs coming with different expressions

Saturn might talk a bit slower but usually ends up saying very wise things at the end like 'I told you' 'You have to trust me'

Moon here can indicate a more soft voice, soft spoken, elegant, cheering voice, has good manners

Mars here can indicate a passionate voice tone, raspy voice, parrot-like voice, whispering voice, sensual or turned on voice

(Go back to you, go back to you) (Go back to you, go back to you)

Lord of 7th house in D9 modality (Check the Lord Planet not the 7H itself!! ex 7H Libra => Venus + the sign Venus is in)

In a fixed sign; stubborn, loyal, likely stays for longings, loves to hangout type of spouse

In mutable sign: smart, adaptable, overthinking, emotional, needy but afraid to say it type of spouse

In a cardinal sign: impulsive, leader, dominating, changing, starting something new type of spouse

Having Venus in the 10th house here can indicate the spouse can be a public person, people can treat them like one even if they might not be, and it happens due to their appearance. The spouse is pretty and attracts people with that

Jupiter in the 4th house, the spouse can bring a massive sense of peace into the natives life after moving together or meeting them, the house can feel so welcoming and calm, nice, introvert kind of house and spouse (to make it rhyme lol)

Having Saturn in the 1st house here can indicate you tend to attract people who feel like an old soul, therefore there is a big chance your spouse will have the same feeling. 'Everybody knows we got unfinished business'

Moon in the 12th house, the spouse can be mysterious at first, so everyone will kinda wonder...how are they with you.. not knowing much about them but there is something significantly attractive about them

Having an exalted Venus or Venus at home, (Pisces, Libra, Taurus) can indicate an ultimate love language between you and the spouse. These are strong placement for relationships who last based on love, and it can feel like a blessing

Having Venus in fall or debilitating (Scorpio, Aries, Virgo) can indicate your spouse might come with a 'love to hate/hate to love' thing. Meaning they can be toxic but they're so goddamn good at it and hot.

(Go back to you, go back to you) (Go back to you, go back to you)

Venus in Capricorn can indicate a more serious type of lover, y'all are over the talking stage, either they fw you or they waste your time, a serious partner is heaven for you. You're done with other people's bs

Having a mix of air and water or even a dominant chart with these elements in D9 can indicate your spouse has an artistic talent, sharing things in common starting from the very mindset of the spouse which i find very cute

Having the 5th house empty (disclaimer for those who want kids) it indicates having kids/wanting kids won't be a necessity for you, of course kids can still happen even with an empty 5H but it shows they're not a main topic in the couples life

Having the 12th house empty in the D9 chart usually makes it so much easier for the couple lol, because you won't be isolated from each-other, you'll be more kinda like a 24/7 around your spouse here, even though everyone needs their free time alone sometimes, it can make you super dependable of your spouse

Having the 7th house empty in the D9 can indicate the relationship can be more stable without any planet influence staying in this house,can indicate a karmic spouse, a karmic relationship, and a spouse who might show up later

You know my thoughts are runnin' loose It's just a thing you make me do

The 7th house in navamsa can offer little insights about how your spouse actually looks like, for example if is Aquarius, the spouse can be tall, for Jupiter in the 7H the spouse can be thicker, stronger

Mercury on the 7H can indicate a spouse who sees you for who you are, good comunication, a good sense of belonging from the spouse, they can be proud they meet someone like you, communication and boundaries can be strong in this relationship

Capricorn Sun, having Capricorn Sun in a d9 chart talks about an older spouse, a more advanced spouse, they might be in a different life path when you first meet them and maybe reconnect after with them, is a slowburn type of affection in the relationship, like they become attached to you with the time

Jupiter in the navamsa chart can indicate where you'll be the most blessed as a couple/relationship based on the house of Jupiter. If Jupiter is in Cancer/4H the home life with them will be incredibly blessed

Jupiter in the 5th house can be really good and beneficial, even if you want kids or family because it is a supportive planet, the spouse likely supports your dreams and hobbies

Sun in the 8th house can indicate a spouse with a deeply evolved maturity, they can be mysterious, physical, wanting things to happen more in private and close doors

Mars in the 12H can indicate a spouse who has been very active on their mental health, they can be draining or they can be more open about their journeys, the spouse usually has a good fit and personality and may also be good in bed

Mars in Libra, there can be a chaotic energy when you fight but this placement gives the vibes of a couple who can't stay angry at each other for a long time and would rather make peace and apologize (Mars is weak in Libra)

Sun in Cancer can indicate the spouse has a kind energy, they might be vulnerable and soft at heart, good relations with their family (if no malefic involved), the spouse might be a helper, a handler, younger than you

If I could do it all again, I know I’d go back to you

Hockney's sun-drenched paintings regularly featured positive aspects of queer life during an era when the lgbtq+ community was encouraged to dwell in the shadows by an intolerant and unaccepting status-quo. The 1972 painting featured in this post entitled Portrait of an Artist (Pool with Two Figures) sold during a 2018 Christie's auction of Hockney's works for $90.3 million in November 2018, establishing the painting as the most valuable work of art created by a living artist at the time.
