sign of the archer loves an adventure, be it in the outdoors or in
pursuit of the outer reaches of the higher mind.
A Sagittarian
makes for a good friend, as they are honest, generous, and optimistic.
Integrity is critical to them. Sag's are very forthright and may have a
bawdy sense of humor.
In terms of the higher mind, Sagittarians
are here to help us go beyond self-limiting thoughts and beliefs. You
can often find them coaching or encouraging people to achieve their
dreams and goals.
Sagittarius rules the legal system, abundance,
banks, wild animals, and big things (not just any pet, but a horse or
Great Dane). In the body, Sagittarius rules the upper legs, hips, and
the liver.

Jupiter
 Jupiter is the ruling planet of Sagittarius in the Ninth house. Jupiter represents optimism, generosity, philanthropy, luck, philosophy, and foreign cultures.
People with a strong Jupiter may be large in size, loud in voice, or simply command attention when they walk into a room.
Jupiter orbits around the sun almost every 12 years, so you can look at
each 12-year segment in your life as a new way of expressing your
philosophy in the world.
Jupiter coaches and encourages people to overcome obstacles to
achieve their greatest desires. Jupiter is a loyal friend. Used
negatively, Jupiter can be boastful and tends towards overdoing
(overeat, overspend, etc.)
The location of Jupiter in your natal chart indicates the area of
life where you can express expansive philosophy. In the ninth house,
you may love to travel or pursue higher spiritual or educational goals.
Jupiter governs the liver and diseases caused by excess.
The Ninth House, Exploration & Philosophy
 The Ninth House represents the higher mind. It is associated with foreign travel, religion, higher education, certain areas of the legal system, and the social mores of society. More than anything, the ninth house calls you to open your mind to your highest spiritual truth to learn who you are, beyond society's labels.

NASA Says Moon Crater Contains Usable Water
 The
Moon, at least at the bottom of a deep, dark cold crater near its south
pole, seems to be wetter than the Sahara, scientists reported Thursday.
In lunar terms, that is an oasis, surprisingly wet for a place
that had long been thought by many planetary scientists to be utterly
dry.
If astronauts were to visit this crater, they might be able to use
eight wheelbarrows of soil to melt 10 to 13 gallons of water. The
water, if purified, could be used for drinking, or broken apart into
hydrogen and oxygen for rocket fuel — to get home or travel to Mars.
“That is a very valuable resource,” said Anthony Colaprete,
principal investigator of NASA’s Lunar Crater Observation and Sensing
Satellite — or Lcross, for short — which made the observations as it, by
design, slammed into the Moon a year ago. “This is wetter than some
places on Earth.”
The Sahara sands are 2 to 5 percent water, and the water is
tightly bound to the minerals. In the lunar crater, which lies in
perpetual darkness, the water is in the form of almost pure ice grains
mixed in with the rest of the soil, and is easy to extract. The ice is
about 5.6 percent of the mixture, and possibly as high as 8.5 percent of
it, Dr. Colaprete said.
“That is a large number, larger than I think anyone was anticipating,” Dr. Colaprete said.
The $79 million Lcross mission piggybacked on the Lunar Reconnaissance
Orbiter, which was launched in June last year and has been mapping out
the lunar surface for a future return by astronauts. Lcross steered the
empty second stage of the rocket, which otherwise would have just burned
up in the Earth’s atmosphere, onto a collision course with the Moon.
Last October, as it neared impact, the Lcross spacecraft released the
empty second stage and slowed down slightly so that it could watch the
stage’s 5,600-mile-per-hour crash into a 60-mile-wide, 2-mile-deep
crater named Cabeus. A few minutes later, Lcross, quickly transmitting
its gathered data to Earth, met a similar demise.
For people who watched the live Webcast video transmitted by Lcross, the
event was a disappointment, with no visible plume from the impacts. But
as they analyzed the data, scientists found everything they were
looking for, and more. Last November, the team reported that the impact
had kicked up at least 26 gallons of water, confirming suspicions of ice
in the craters.
The new results increase the water estimate to about 40 gallons, and by
estimating by amount of dirt excavated by the impact, calculated the
concentration of water for the first time.
