People born with the South Node in the 9th house have a tendency to reject their cultural background and move away in search of a better world.

They will often prefer to move away from it to give themselves the means to study, meditate or devote themselves to all forms of practices or studies conducive to raising them towards a better world.
It may be that a part of them, faced with the absurdity of their childhood experience, has chosen to look “elsewhere”, to rise above the base considerations of everyday life, to find meaning more noble to existence.
These people have the belief that it is necessary to extract oneself from the culture of the medium of birth to find the exit, the solution, the door of happiness.

After a while, they realize that their functioning locks them into a world disconnected from reality. Those around them get tired of their headaches, especially since they themselves end up being disappointed and disillusioned with the results of their personal investment in the great ideals of life which, over time, lose their flavor.
