Mercury in the 9th house in Lal Kitab

Mercury in the house of fortune: an inquiring mind and luck through learning, asking for respect for elders.

Mixed

What Lal Kitab says

The 9th house belongs to Jupiter, which Mercury treats as neutral but which counts Mercury as an enemy, so Lal Kitab reads Mercury here as mixed. The person questions everything and can do well in higher study or travel, but may argue with teachers and elders. The book links this Mercury's luck with humility before the guru.

Why Mercury behaves this way here

The 9th house belongs to Jupiter (a neutral house), so Mercury is a guest here. Its own house is the 7th, 6th.

Its relationship with the owner is neutral: the result depends mostly on what else in the chart it connects to.
