The 9th Lord in the 7th House
Bhagya / Dharma Bhava lord in the Kalatra Bhava · the 11th from the 9th · twelve ascendants computed
The 9th lord in the 7th house is the ruler of the 9th, the Bhagya / Dharma Bhava, placed in the 7th, the Kalatra Bhava. The 9th is a trikona and the 7th a kendra. Which graha that lord is depends on the ascendant, so the table below answers for all twelve.
Counted from the 9th, the 7th is the 11th house, which from any house is an upachaya position; counted back from the 7th, the 9th is the 3rd, an upachaya position from it.
On the Parashari reading, in which a lord carries its house’s matters to wherever it sits, the 9th lord in the 7th reads the 9th’s matters — luck and fortune, father's influence, higher learning, and pilgrimage — through the 7th’s: spouse or partner, marriage, business partnerships and public relations. For the 9th lord in the 7th that is a frame, not a forecast; what it comes to depends on the graha, its dignity below, and the rest of the chart.

Across the twelve ascendants the 9th lord in the 7th is exalted for Virgo and Scorpio, in a neutral sign for Gemini, Leo, Libra and Sagittarius, in an enemy's sign for Aries, Taurus, Capricorn, Aquarius and Pisces and debilitated for Cancer. The Sun and the Moon rule one sign each, so for Scorpio and Sagittarius, where one of them is the 9th lord, it rules no other house; for the other ten the last column gives the second house the 9th lord brings with it to the 7th.
For Taurus ascendant (Saturn, ruling the 9th and 10th), Leo ascendant (Mars, ruling the 4th and 9th) and Aquarius ascendant (Venus, ruling the 4th and 9th), the 9th lord rules both a kendra and a trikona other than the 1st, and in the 7th it is in an enemy's sign for Taurus, in a neutral sign for Leo and in an enemy's sign for Aquarius.
The Reverse: the 7th Lord in the 9th
Where the 7th lord sits in the 9th in the same chart as the 9th lord in the 7th, each lord occupies the other’s sign, an exchange the texts call parivartana. For all twelve ascendants the 9th and the 7th have different lords, so the exchange is possible whatever the ascendant.
