Dharma Bhava- 9th House,
Dharma is difficult to explain in one word as there is no equivalent word in English, it means more then just self righteousness, duty towards self, family, country, religion, and god, etc. the natural Dharma Sthana is Saggitarius and Dharma Karaka is Jupiter, its lord, so this house /bhava should be aspected by or posited by Jupiter for beneficial effects.
Dharma Bhava relates with Father, teacher, boss, fortune, religiousness, spirituality, God, higher studies & high knowledge, fortune in a foreign land, foreign trips, deeksha (joining a religious order), past life and the cause of birth, grandchildren, principles, dharma, intuition, compassion, sympathy, leadership, charity, thighs.
Effects of Dharma Bhava: BPHS
1 Combinations for Fortunes. O Brahmin, now listen to the effects of Dharm Bhava. One will be fortunate (or affluent), if Dharma’s Lord is in Dharma Bhava with strength.
2 Should Guru be in Dharma Bhava, while Dharma’s Lord is in an angle and Lagna’s Lord is endowed with strength, one will be extremely fortunate.
3. Fortunate (Affluent) Father. If Dharma’s Lord is with strength, as Sukra is in Dharma, while Guru is in an angle from Tanu Bhava, the native’s father is fortunate.
4. Indigent Father. If Dharma’s Lord is debilitated, while the 2nd and/or the 4th from Dharma Bhava is occupied by Mangal, the native’s father is poor.
5. Long-living Father. Should Dharma’s Lord be in deep exaltation, while Sukra is in an angle from Tanu Bhava and Guru is in the 9th from Navamsa Lagna, the father of the native will enjoy a long span of life.
6. Royal Status for Father. If Dharma’s Lord is an angle and receives a Drishti from Guru, the native’s father will be a king endowed with conveyances, or be equal to a king.
7. Wealthy and Famous Father. Should Dharma’s Lord be in Karma Bhava, while Karma’s Lord receives a Drishti from a benefic the native’s father will be very rich and famous.
8-9. Virtuous and Devoted to Father. Should Sūrya be in deep exaltation, as Dharma’s Lord is in Labha Bhava, the native will be virtuous, dear to the king and devoted to father. If Sūrya is in a trine from Lagna, while Dharma’s Lord is in Yuvati in yuti with, or receiving a Drishti from Guru, the native will be devoted to his father.
10. Fortunes etc. Acquisition of fortunes, conveyances and fame will follow the 32nd year of age, if Dharma’s Lord is in Dhana, while Dhana’s Lord is in Dharma.
11. Inimical to Father. There will be mutual enmity between the father and the native, if Lagna’s Lord is in Dharma Bhava, but with the Lord of Ari. Further, the native’s father will be of contemptible disposition.
12. Begged Food. If Karma’s Lord and Sahaja’s Lord are bereft of strength, while Dharma’s Lord is in fall, or combust the native will go begging for his food.
13-25. Combinations for Father’s Death.
The father of the native would have passed away prior to the native’s birth, if Surya is in Ari (6th), Randhr (8th), or Vyaya Bhava (12th), as Randhr’s Lord ( Lord of 8th bhava) is in Dharm Bhava (9th), Vyaya’s Lord (12th) is in Tanu Bhava (1st bhava) and Ari’s Lord is in Putra Bhava (5th bhava).
Should Surya be in Randhr Bhava, while Randhr’s Lord is in Dharma, the native’s father will pass away within a year of his birth. If the Lord of Vyaya Bhava is in Dharma Bhava, while Dharma’s Lord is in its debilitation Navamsa, the native’s father will face his end during the 3rd, or the 16th year of the native. Death of father will occur in the 2nd, or the 12th year, if Lagna’s Lord is in Randhr Bhava, as Randhr’s Lord is with Surya.
Should Rahu be in the 8th from Dharma, as Surya is in the 9th from Dharm, death of father will take place in the 16th, or the 18th year of the native.
If Sani is in the 9th from Chandra, as Surya is with Rahu, the native’s father will die in the 7th, or the 19th year of the native. The native in his 44th year will lose his father, if Dharma’s Lord is in Vyaya, as Vyaya’s Lord is in Dharma.
If Lagna’s Lord is in Randhr Bhava, as Chandra is in Surya’s Navamsa, the native in his 35th, or 41st year will lose his father. One will lose his father in the 50th year, if Surya, being the Lord of Dharma, is conjunct Mangal and Sani.
If Surya is in the 7th from Dharma Bhava, as Rahu is in the 7th from Sahaja Bhava, the 6th, or 25th year of the native will be fatal for father.
If Sani is in the 7th from Randhr Bhava, as Surya is in the 7th from Sani (Saturn), the ages of 21, 26, or 30 will be fatal for the father.
If Dharma’s Lord is in its debilitation Rasi, while his dispositor is in Dharma Bhava, the native will lose his father at the age of 26, or 30. Thus the Jyotishi's may know the effects.
26. Fortunes. One will enjoy abundant fortunes, if Sukra is in deep exaltation and be in the company of Dharma’s Lord, as Sani (Saturn) is in Sahaja.
27-28. Fortunate Periods. Abundant fortunes be acquired after the 20th year, if Dharma has Guru (Jupiter) in it, as its Lord is in an angle from Lagna. Should Budh (Mercury) be in his deep exaltation, as Dharma’s Lord is in Dharma itself, abundant fortunes will be earned after the 36th year.
29. Should Lagna’s Lord be in Dharma, as Dharma’s Lord is in Lagna and Guru (Jupiter) is in Yuvati, there will be gains of wealth and conveyances.

Thus ends the 32nd Ch. entitled “NINTH HOUSE AND EFFECTS THERE OF” in Kalyana Varma's Saravali.
Grahs/Planets in 9th Bhava and the effects there from
If Sun occupies 9th bhava, the native will be endowed with wealth, children and friends, will be very interested in worshiping Gods and Brahmin's, will not be well-disposed towards his father and wife and be not calm.
If Moon occupies 9th bhava, the native will be devoted to divine and paternal assignments, will be endowed with happiness, wealth, intelligence and sons and will attract the fair sex.
If Mars occupies the 9th bhava, the native will not be skilful in acts, be odious, will kill living beings, be not virtuous, be very sinful and honoured by the king.
If Mercury occupies 9th bhava,the native will be very affluent, scholarly, of good conduct/habits, be eloquent in speech, skilful of a great order and be virtuous.
If Jupiter occupies 9th bhava, the native will be attached to divine and paternal duties, be learned, fortunate, be a king's minister, or a leader and be chief.
If Venus occupies 9th bhava, the native will possess a spotless and broad physique, be endowed with wealth, charitable, wife, sexual pleasures and friendship and will honor Gods, guests and preceptors/elders.
If Saturn occupies 9th bhava, the native will be devoid of religious merits, will not have much wealth, be bereft of co-born, sons and happiness and will cause sorrow to others.
If Rahu occupies 9th bhava: Rahu intensifies the desire for exalted experience in divine rituals, often a native has a foreign guru, father does not benefit from this combination, might be associated with secretive activities involving international engagements, and to reach the truth the native destroys the natural barriers, Rahu in 9th house is not good for the native.
If Ketu occupies 9th bhava: Ketu in 9th effects the father, either father is never available or remains distracted, the Priests might appear deceptive, native might suffer from psychological complexes with regard to religious truths and might not trust the religious authorities and might wander in his own imaginative sensitivities to reach the essence of truth, which is perceived by him/her as an external entity.
Ketu in 9th, effects the native in a negative way, with regards to his/her father, religion, teachings, etc. which might not be healthy for his/her.
So the bottom line for this bhava is this bhava should be connected with Jupiter in one way or other to derive or gain maximum benefits, other wise, things might not be as rosy as they are with Jupiter or Sun.
let me see my chart, I have Venus (8th in Rasi) in 9th bhava with Jupiter Aspecting it from the Ascendant, my Father was very dear to me and out of all siblings I was very dear to my father, but he passed away few months before his 64th birthday after suffering for 15 years, we had an excellent relationship, more as a friend then Father- Son, but I never crossed the line, I have intense religious beliefs, I have very high philanthropic ideals, I have very deep set principles and convictions, So Jupiter does confer all these properties.
With regards to eighth bhava, it is empty and is not Aspected by any planet, but the Rasi chart has Venus in 8th house, it is better to have an empty Du-Sthana (6th, 8th and 12th) then with an malefic.
It gets little confusing , when you say 8th house or 9th house. In Indian languages, Bhava means it is more Mental or psychological then physical presence, like a Graha/planet is present in 8th Sign in Rasi (Radix), but it gives effects of 9th house, because it is present in the 9th bhava, it is exactly like Planet in English is a physical body, but Graha in " Jyotish shastra", is more of a Mental, or psychological or metaphysical entity, or it is more like a powerful energy, which has the capacity to effect a living thing with its rays or aura from with in, but when we explain this in English, it appears they are like table and chairs, which is not correct.
