Dharma and one's guiding principles, the FATHER (mainstream Parashari reading — a signal Vedic difference from Western practice; some lineages also weigh the 10th), the guru and higher teaching, fortune (bhagya) and grace, long journeys and pilgrimage, philosophy and religion. The strongest trikona: the classical texts call a well-supported 9th the chart's luck made visible.
