Astrology: 9th house and pluto

You can do a Raidho working for this house. Meditate a bit on the energies of Raidho and on what the 9th house governs and you'll figure out a good affirmation.

The ritual of Hermes Trismegistus is always available and I personally found its energy to be intellectually beneficial, especially over time. The rune Eiwaz also allows you to harness energies similar to that of Pluto. Kenaz is good for intellect too. Pluto rules Scorpio, so I would imagine that beginning a working with Eiwaz under a Scorpio moon would be beneficial for harnessing quasi-plutonian energy.

Jupiter rules the same things as the 9th house does, so you could work with Jupiter.

If your 9th house cusp is in Scorpio (don't tell whether it is, keep that information private), then Mars is the co-ruler and you can work with Mars for this house.

If there are other planets within your 9th house, same: they are co-rulers and you can work with them.

If Pluto is within your 9th house, but the cusp is not in Scorpio, then the ruler of the sign where your cusp is located is the main ruler, and you can work with it.

Again, don't tell any of your placements.

On top of what was advised, other God rituals can be suitable.

Lord Thoth obviously. Goddesses like Lady SeshatExternal ↗. Then you may want to consider if you are interested in any particular type of intelligence. All Gods themselves are intelligences, each ruling a specific domain of reality. This means that you can look at which Gods and Goddesses most relate to your goal, and perform Their ritual frequently to open access to those specific domains they govern. Also, pray to Them, to Father Zeus, and to your Guardian Daemon to present your aims, and ask Them for support in how to achieve them.

The 9th house has specific domains rather than intelligence in general. Yes, Mars as co-ruler of your 9th house shows how you can improve it through squares. But, also, you might want to choose planets that relate to the actual intelligence you wish to develop.

I'm personally a subscriber of Gardner's theory of Multiple Intelligences. After, intelligence is a word that comes from Latin, and literally means "the ability to understand things". Each of the 7 personal planets (Sun to Saturn) can increase your understanding of the domains they rule.

The intelligences in the theory are divided in:

• logical-mathematical - the one most people call general intelligence; analyse problems logically, do maths, investigates things through the scientific method, logic, abstraction, reasoning, critical thinking, problem-solving, understanding cause and effect, strategic thinking, also fluid intelligence, both convergent and divergent thinking.

• verbal-linguistic- relates mainly to words and language, including foreign languages, and the capacity to use language to accomplish goals (i.e. rhetoric, dialectics, poetry, semantics). It's the most related to Hierologia.

• interpersonal - relates to understanding intentions, motivations, and desires of other people; and thus to collaborate effectively with them, communicate with them, and building rapport; it's social skills, and it also helps with leadership. It's not about being extroverted or introverted. You can be either and be egocentric, narcissistic, or even a full-on sociopath.

• bodily-kinaesthetic - relates to using your body to solve problems (i.e. balance, agility, coordination, dexterity, strength, flexibility...); so it helps both in athleticism/sport and in practical trades like bricklayers, carpenters, surgeons, physiotherapists; it's also about sense of timing, training bodily responses including facial expressions, achieving physical and practical goals.

• musical - self-explanatory, it's about music and sound, the characteristics of your voice (pitch, tone, rhythm, timbre) which also affect the phonetic characteristics of your speech as well; performance, composition, and appreciation of musical patterns. It feeds in some ways to Hierologia.

• visual-spatial - relates to to accurate visual-spatial awareness (i.e. how your body exists in space and move through space, but also the same relations of every other object in 3D space); transforming, modifying, and manipulating visual information; visualisation, drawing, sense of direction, puzzle building, reading maps; it's important for chess players as well, as it relates to both practical and artistic expressions, and it also works well with bodily-kinaesthetic intelligence (i.e. for athletes, tailors, etc)

• intrapersonal - relates to understanding yourself internally (i.e. your urges, fears, abilities, ambitions...); it's self-awareness, the ability to analyse yourself, improve yourself, and express yourself and your emotions; it's needed for everything in life, imo.

• naturalistic - this one is about the natural environment and understanding its patterns, including plants, animals, and natural phenomena.

I also thinking that consistently practising Diaugeia can help you in every area of intelligence. Anyway, if you want to read more about the multiple intelligences and identify what you might be most interested in, here are some starting points:
